To explain… I am not longer single. I am seriously dating a great guy
and have been for a while (by my standards). It all started with the new job.
He works at the same company. He was a bit of a dick towards me and as a result
I tried to avoid him. Turns out that’s his (old) work persona. But we had a
couple decent conversations at the bar and started getting along. He was
unhappily married and separating from his wife so had all sorts of things going
on. I was just going on with my usual stuff.
The abridged version of the ‘how did you meet?” story is that one night
after a company function a group of us went for drinks and he and I ended up talking
until 2am and as these things go, had a bit of a smooch. It just grew from
there. Because we worked together and not many people knowing he was getting divorced,
we kept it under wraps and thought we were doing a great job of it… though we
have since found out that was not the case. We approached it all like responsible
grown ups and let the relevant people know what was happening to keep things
above board, though it did take a handful of people quite a while to figure out
why we were spending so much time together.
But anyway, it’s been good and all my people like him so that really
helps! We have a lot in common and he seems to be enjoying my interests that I’ve
introduced him to – which can be a bit strange, so that’s a bonus! I also
discovered this festive season that he is so similar to my father it’s scary –
it totally freaks my mother out. It’s not a bad thing though, after all my
Daddles is one of my favourite people, so it makes sense.
As with any relationship, there have been ups and downs but mostly ups.
We’ve been through some hectic things together (a serious post for another day)
but that’s only made us stronger. We’ve laughed and cried. We’ve been on
holiday together, alone and with my family, we’re going to India in a few
months and so far we’ve both made it out alive and a little bit heavier. So all
in all, I’d say a good foundation for a good relationship.
And my cat likes him!
