Someone with less baggage
Its been awhile since I've posted or given you guys an update, but here we go. Friday was like any other day with her - we went out shopping for my new wardrobe, talked, held hands and just enjoyed being with each other. Saturday we saw a movie, laughed, loved and parted ways. It has been the most beautiful and special 7 months that I can remember. We talked of finally getting to meet and know each others family and Last night, after 7 months, my YW (23 - I'm 41) tells me out of the blue that she doesn't know if this is what she wants - she can't handle the fact that I have 3 kids and is very disappointed that I won't be able to spend Memorial day weekend with her as I will have the kids. Perhaps - she calmly states - "I think I just need to find someone with less baggage. Theres no way I can do this until your kids are all grown and have lives of their own." =(( my heart just sank. Then she says that she needs to go to bed and can't get into it cuz she has to get up early for class. (She'll graduate in the fall) After a long sleepless tear-filled night I talked to her this am and she just said she wasn't acting out on her thoughts and that she just wanted me to know how she felt. She is really disappointed that we can't be together for the long weekend and doesn't want my kids to hate her - which always happens with a divorced dads new woman. I am completely crushed. - Happy 7th anniversary.
