Ok- after ex-h flaked out, took money, lied about is whereabouts and then was shown the door:) I was in graduate school full time and at -home mom. ex-h had just moved us for the 2nd time in 2 years(great guy, but a liar and not stable) so I made it through the end of the semester (barely) in an apt with the kiddles. At the the end I realized thatI was going nowhere FAST! I needed to get back to work and forget about being a special ed teaher (the government doesn't give grants once yo've gotten your bachelors)
I've been a graphic designerin the past on doing it freelance during school. So I ended p relocating to Millwaukee and - yes- living with my father god bless him. That was June- it's now oct- I'm working part time ,going-to-be-funl-time- soon graphic design job abd teaching an advertising design class at a university. Saving money, getting there. lost 70 lbs !!!!
Feeling embarresed about living with family when I'm almost 30:( THning when I go full time and 2000 or so in bank will be it for me.
Now about dating....
when H left I went nuts- he hadn't touched me for 6 months-erectile dysfuntion- or so I thought... dated a nice guy but crazy- 20 years my senior- yikes. not good judgeent. He never met the kids. Saw him for alomot 4-5 months
he jumped off a bridge- don't ask... not good:)
I slowed down after that and met my man through singleparentsmeet.com It is one of the best thing I could've done.
He and I began emailing in April- met in May/June. And on the second date I thought "this could be the one"
we're am in that sickning-ly sweet phase- of "you're so cute, no youu are" I love it. He has 2 litle nes, ours played together several times. I'm starting to get attached tohis little ones- I've told him " I'm starting to love yout kids so don't f*** it up:)" We've both said that we know we'll work out, talked about marriage- when and wheere (vegas baby) we're thinking next fallish? There are no guarantees, but I 'm betting we'll be fine:)
Ok- I get to brag now... he's wonderfuL:!! kind, smart, playful, adventurous, loving, romatinc, big, strapping (and I mean freaking BUILT- was a football player in highschool/college- yay me! His ex-wife is an idiot!)6'4', could be Vin Deisel's brother. sa,e haircut and all. ANd a fantastic lover!!!
Of course reality comes int play:) I can be demanding, he can be non-communicative. But we're doing pretty well.
wish me luck. I would love for this to work out...
