It's been a few years since I posted so thought it might be time for an update.
I've been with my boyfriend now for five and a half years !! And it's been wonderful. He makes me so happy and we laugh together every single day. I always thank my lucky stars that he came into my life when he did.
Since my last post we have travelled, shared many amazing experiences and have never had a cross word. He makes me feel wanted and loved so very much.
He finally moved in with me at the beginning of 2021, so it's been two years already!
My youngest daughter and his youngest both got married last year, both of them delayed from 2020. My eldest gets married in September this year.
I became a grandmother for the first time in May 2020 - she's three years old now - how time flies. My second a grandson was born in August 2022 and my partners youngest had her first in March this year. Between us we now have five grandchildren, four girls and a boy.
We had a fabulous three week trip in a motorhome to New Zealand in 2019 to celebrate our special birthdays that year. In late 2020 we bought ourselves a caravan - our first joint purchase - and enjoy travelling with it but not frequently enough really.
As for my ex and his wife (the one he left me for), I only see them at family events. It does stick in my throat that she is a 'Nanny' to my grandchildren. I will never forgive her for the pain I experienced due to her.
Despite that I am much much happier in my relationship than I was with my ex. I didn't think we had a bad relationship but I also didn't realise I could be in a much better one. We laugh together every day and are very open and honest with each other.
Life can be better after a traumatic event but it does take time and can hurt for a while. The memories of that pain are still with me but counterbalanced every day with the wonderful man I am with and the family around me.
