Fantastic.
That said it took the best part of 10 years with the wrong woman for me to really understand what I wanted/needed and what I was capable of giving/doing for the other half.
Now with a woman who finds my idiosyncracies, inconsistencies and downright idiocies endearing (so far anyway) as opposed to annoying and exasperating. We’re best mates, lovers and companions and I wouldn’t wish it any other way.
Can’t be too bitter about the “lost” decade. We were just so wrong for each other it’s untrue. And we have two beautiful, well adjusted, intelligent (blah blah blah) kids to show for it. See them 3-4 times a week and me and the ex have for the most part managed to deal with things in a positive way (so far…)
Sometimes I wish I’d known 10 years ago what I know now, but in truth that’s a non-starter as that would rule out the kids and I would 99.9999% have never met the future Mrs Rodent 😀
