Lurker intro
Hi there, I'm a long time lurker, just made an account today so I can post.
A little background info:
I was married for 4 and a half years to a man who just wasn't doing it for me anymore. He was nice, but very selfish, and there was just no love. So we had a mutual agreement to part ways and I'm just waiting for the decree. According to the attorneys on both ends, the final documents went to the judge two weeks ago.
I am currently seeing someone for 8 months and he is my knight in shining armor. I love him. We have talked about moving in together, but it's still in the works because he travels on business and I currently work two jobs because I am in some heavy debt from my marriage. (STBXH had no credit, I had excellent credit so everything is in my name...now I have non-existant terrible credit, as the world keeps turning...)
I've been lurking here for almost a year on and off.
Re: Lurker intro
Does he look like this?
Actually, yes. He does look exactly like that. How did you know?
And as for this Liubot...no. I read all of the BSC of her and that's not me. I don't do drugs, I am not on any medications, I wear protection when I have sex, and I do not slit my wrists for attention.
But whatever floats your boat I assume.
Omg this killed me! Love it!
OP - despite the snarkiness of these women, it's a great, supportive group! Welcome!
welcome!
i think we're all giving you the side-eye for the whole knight and shining armor thing though.
Yeah it was corny. I'm just in awe because my BF actually gives a care about me and my life, as opposed to STBXH and every relationship prior.
I like the one that says "my knight in shining armor turned out to be a loser in alumininum foil.
OP, don't mind a little snark, obviously we're just playing and we're always happy to welcome one more. I just gave a side eye to the knight in shining armor comment. Be your own savior first and foremost.
Bwhahahaha!! Black kitty and Achase, you kill me!
OP, yeah, you get a little side eye for the comment but we hope you feel welcome none the less. And Achase hit the nail on the head...be your own savior first.
How long have you been separated from STBXH?

Dup
You two slay me!
OP, welcome. How long have you been separated? I agree with A, be your own savior. Just because someone treats you like you've never been treated doesn't mean he's the perfect person. I'm glad you met a great man though.
It'll be a year and a half in April.
Well, you redeemed yourself a little bit by not getting into a relationship a month after your split
