I love being in a relationship. I was a solitary sort of person for many, many years, and I truly am one of those people who doesn't mind being alone -- but my girlfriend Leslie, aka datalopez, makes me happier than anybody else on earth. Funny, when you consider that neither of us was particularly looking for anyone else at the time we met; it was one of ( Read more... )

I love this! I love reading about happy relationships...especially now that I have one too! :)

It does make a big difference when you're part of one, doesn't it? I never begrudged my friends their happiness, but there were a few times when I felt lonesome and was jealous of them. :)

I can empathize with this comment (feeling) a lot. It makes me happy to know you two discovered each other. :)

Hooray!!!

Hooray for you as well! It makes me happy to hear how well your own relationship is going, after the troubles you've had in the past. You definitely deserve a good one.

cheers,

It is rather peachy, thank you. And I think I am finally starting to believe that I deserve it as well.

It's kinda funny really, when reading your entry it sounded so much like Pete and I. I hope he still feels as loving for and from and as protective of and protected by me in a few years as you and Leslie do for each other.

It was really sweet to read about this. Thanks for posting!

No, thank YOU for reading. I'm just sad that it's not working out as well for you and Josh. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed that you find a solution that works for you.

cheers,

Well, we have until June to figure it out (so that we're not in couples therapy forever, we determined a timeline). Either way, we both want to be happy and at peace and we're taking steps to rediscover what that means for us. It's inspiring to read about a couple that works. Gives me something to meditate on. :)

Aw, shucks. :) Thanks, Mellzah. That is the reaction we get from most people (when they're not making fake-sick noises at our sweetness, that is).

cheers,
Phil
