  • I just wrote this entire thing only to hit the backspace button and the stupid internet delete EVERYTHING! 

    Let me try this again?in high school I dated a guy I loved very much. During our senior year he was moved back to his hometown in New York to finish school and I didn?t think I?d ever see him again. Between 1999 and 2006 I heard from him once, and it was when he called randomly to tell me that he still loved me very much. In 2006 we reconnected and loosely dated into 2007. He was living in Miami at the time and had no intention of moving away from ?that? lifestyle. I was ready to settle down and knew that Kansas City was where I wanted to make my home. As a result our relationship dissipated. Almost immediately I began dating a man whom I would proceed to date, get engaged to and plan a wedding with. He was 100% opposite of my feisty but loving, painted man of a husband who gets his hands dirty as an electrician ? instead he bared two masters degrees, extreme wealth and a very docile temperament. In the 3.5 years we were together I didn?t speak much to my tah, as it was inappropriate to do so. During this time, he moved back to Kansas City because he had heard I was single again and was ready to settle down ? low and behold I was not only in a relationship but planning a wedding at the time. In March of this year and 30 days prior to when I was to be married, my then fianc? and I realized that we should not be getting married to each other. We were very incompatible but loved each other and as such were trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.Although there was a lot of shock at the abrupt timing of everything, we called the wedding off just weeks before it was to take place. Five weeks later Iliterally ran into my tah at Express while shopping with a girlfriend ? he was seeing someone at the time. He asked about me and I told him about the break-up; we parted ways. About six weeks later he was single and we found ourselves having dinner?and the rest is history! That was mid-June; August 7th he got down on one knee with a quivering lip and tears in his eyes, told me I was the woman he had been chasing all of his life and asked that I spend the rest of my life with him. After some talk, we decided to get married over Thanksgiving weekend ? we began dating in high school the day after Thanksgiving ? in 2006 we began dating the day before ? it was only fitting that we start our lives around the dates in which we always found ourselves reconnecting.

    So there you have it. Our story. J

  • I love it! I'm glad you followed your heart instead of staying just because it was paid for. There is a girl on the Chit Chat board on TK that could use your advice right now. The post is titled "Semi-Cold Feet"
