wow, that was a lot to catch up on. Thank you all for sharing your wonderful stories.
Sass - your story made me tear up. I am so sorry you were in such an abusive relationship!!! I wish horrible things upon that man for hurting you the way he did. I am so glad things worked out between you and Danny. You two were meant for each other
I think Gord had me when he called me a pretty lady. I had never actually heard those words from a guy before.
My last real relationship had ended 8 years prior to me meeting Gord. I was in my first year of College, and I came home for the Christmas holidays. A guy I had a crush on before leaving for College was now single, and apparently he had a thing for me. We hooked up on New Year's Eve, and we had a great relationship. We were so in love with each other, and we never spent a day apart the time I was home for summer break. Then once I left to go back to College in the fall again, things started to go sour. He wouldn't return my calls and we randomly talked. I told me friends I wanted to end it with him, but they wouldn't let me until I was home for Christmas break again and so I could do it in person. Well, he acted fine then....a month later, my mom told me on the phone that she heard Chris and I broke up, and I was like what?! a week later I got a letter in the mail from him ending it!! COWARD!! Then I found out that he was cheating on me since I had left in the fall, and he got the girl pregnant!!!! I was ruined from relationships for a long time. He and his girlfriend continued to terrorize me for the next few years, it was awful. I was in such a bad place after the breakup, that I ended up going out and partying a lot, and sleeping around. I know it's not the way to deal with things, but it worked and made me feel a lot better. I had no trust in men!
I was so happy to finally meet a guy like Gord....I have never heard someone tell me so many times in a day how much he loves me, or tells me everyday that I am beautiful.
