Faced our first major challenge yesterday, and survived it.
Our lives are oddly entwined, and were from before dating each other. He's my roommate's brother, and also friends with my son, and so friends with all the teenagers that tend to hang out around here. I mean, he is 20 after all, just barely out of his teen years (but definitely a man
).
So last night, we had a get together, my roommate's and I. And our adult friends came, and all the teenagers came. And on the adult side, I got to hear about how I'm a cougar (which I patently deny, as cougars purposely go after only younger men... I didn't go after him, it just happened
) And he got to hear it from the teenagers.
No less than three people went to him yesterday and asked when he was breaking up with me. Not if, but when.
And after the cougar comments, I just sort of blew up and walked down the street to the park to cool off for a few minutes.
I come back home, and sit on the front porch and he comes up to talk to me. His sister, my roommate comes up as well, and we're all talking, and he's telling her about the crap that people are saying, and tells her that his response to people asking him when he's breaking with me was, "I'm not. She's an amazing women, and I love her."
I melted. I really did
WATC that I could find such an amazing guy?
Everybody is always saying I'm so very random. It's mentioned at least twice a day. And one time, he just looked at me, said, "You're random, and I love you."
The melting again!
I keep thinking, "Damn, Uni, you really had something in store for me after all, didn't you?"
All the signs were always there, but it took so, so long, that I was really losing faith.
