Things come full circle.


So, C and I are back together. I am telling you guys first 'cos you have put up with more shit on this than anyone.

Genuinely, if I could have asked for absolutely anything in the world, this was it. I almost can't quite believe it, even though she spent several hours convincing me its true.

My life has suddenly become more beautiful than I had any right to expect.

Can't type anymore, getting teary (from happiness) in the office. Have a great day everyone.

Really pleased for you by nebbish (4.00 / 5) #1 Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 04:52:00 AM EST
You sounded like you were made for each other. I often wanted to post comments saying you should persue it more, but it seemed like the wrong message and I didn't want to mess with your head.

All the best.

A Note Of Caution by jump the ladder (4.00 / 5) #2 Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 05:01:34 AM EST
I'd still be a bit cautious. It's early days so I'd hold a little bit of myself back at this stage.

Good luck though.

Happy for you. Hope with both your new experiences of having been apart, it can now work for you.



I have learned a lot in the last 18 months... by Alice Pulley (2.00 / 0) #6 Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 05:06:19 AM EST
...and it was stuff I needed to learn. But that experience is why I am so sure this will work.

Thanks.

Conflicted... by Breaker (4.00 / 3) #7 Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 05:18:32 AM EST
On the one hand, no more random AP "got a bit pissed and snogged some chick" diaries.
On the other, top work lad.  Hope this time around it all comes together for you.

Speaking of which, have you served a make-up portion yet?

    OK then by Rogerborg (4.00 / 3) #30 Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 10:45:13 AM EST
    Just as long as we're all clear that "I missed you" can be heartfelt and true, without necessarily segueing into "...and I want to spend every day of the rest of my life in your company, and still will do tomorrow and tomorrow."

    In short: don't put her on the mortgage just yet.

    Often gets dumped as soon as the broad decides that she doesn't need any more comfort and ego validation.

    Well at least you didn't agree to be exclusive or anything, right?

    Remember the joke in Game On? by ambrosen (4.00 / 2) #32 Wed Apr 19, 2006 at 10:59:13 AM EST
    That actually the one who calls the other one the loser is the loser, and the one who gets called the loser is normal.

    Also, I agree with the Plough that you should mark her as yours with some kind of public ceremony at the earliest opportunity.

    I would echo the words of caution that others have already expressed, but there's not a lot to add there.

    Here's hoping that this is just the start of something beautiful and long-lasting.

    The way to bring about the new age of peace and enlightenment is to assume that it has already started.

    He can use 'doomed' in an older sense of destiny, fate or judgement but where it hadn't gained the negative connotations. But I think that would take the fun out of it.

    Sod's Law dictates that the probability of an infuriating (and potentially embarrassing) break-up increases exponentially in relation to the number of unopposed "Wahay! Congratulations matey!" messages AP receives. By being a ... what's the technical term? ...
