Happy 2012 everyone!
For kicks, I decided to read up on some of my blog posts for 2011 and I am astonished by the events involving my love life. Seriously, as I looked back over how my year started off versus how it has ended, I am just amazed. Something that started off so ugly, demeaning, desperate looking and hopeless turned into something so beautiful and nearly perfect.
Last January, I started off the year already being with Josh aka Aquaman a few weeks. There were already tons of red flags being thrown all up in my face. When I went back to read some of these posts, I am astonished at how stupid I was. The first red flags of the year started off where Josh and I were already having some sort of problem in which we were going to have a talk later that evening and then the first announcement of him not knowing whether he wants kids or not. Ugh, it really is sickening to me how I believed all the excuses he gave me instead of just calling the relationship quits.
It took me about 5-6 weeks to get over my break-up with Josh but it really took me a bit longer to stop checking up on him. I decided to start dating online once again. I thought maybe the man I had met at my church named Sean was the guy God had for me. I find it hilarious that he had the same name as my boyfriend now only spelled differently. Maybe it was some sort of sign that Shawn would be coming into my life soon. But not until having to go through meeting one of the most frustrating “perfect matches” ever and being stood-up by him time and again.
And to finalize the year, finally meeting a good man; a man that was in no rush to get into my pants and took him 4 weeks to kiss me. After 6 weeks of dating I had fallen in love with Shawn and then 7 weeks in, Shawn told me he loved me. I met his parents about 9 weeks later.
Of course the relationship hasn’t been totally perfect because his ex-girlfriend had become an issue. She started drama by messaging me on Facebook saying Shawn still loves her, is sleeping with her and that he doesn’t really want to be with me. But there is just something completely different about Shawn. We had some serious conversations prior to that drama about how cheating is not tolerable and even the conversations we’ve had over the past week on cheating has made me realize how passionate he is against cheating to the point that I 100% believe him. Her actions on how she is handling the break-up is more likely causing her to become the crazy ex-girlfriend that just can’t let go and move on. Plus, I have spent quite a bit of time with his boys and I know for a fact, his boys would have said something, slipped something out by now.
All in all, its been a good year. Some more wonderful things have happened in the past week with Shawn (more on that in the next day or two) and now we are just really looking forward to our snow trip with the boys in February.
