Why is it every time I meet a guy that is nice to me he comes with a defect?
I am determined not to emotionally invest too much. The guy Mike I have been spending time with is a great guy on so many levels.
He maintains a steady job with the county and has for over five years.
He has his own home.
He was with his wife almost 21 years when they split up and have been apart for almost two years now.
He is an excellent pop-pop.
He's good at fixing stuff and easy to be around.
He is opposite to what Roger was in many ways. He is short and has brown eyes. He doesn't feel the need to constantly spout bullshit - he's quiet and truthful.
Mostly I just like him and feel that oh-so-necessary attraction.
What's on the down side you might ask?
He won't be allowed to drive for another year and three months. He doesn't drink all of the time, but he often drinks too much on the occasions that he does imbibe.
So far he has been very open about his struggle and I seem to be a good influence on him. However I worry that could change, so I am trying not to invest too much emotionally here.
He helps me out around here and makes me want to be more productive and get this place in order.
I can't get an opinion from my parents because they refuse to meet him. As far as they are concerned neither of us should be dating because we haven't gotten our divorces yet. (For the record his ex also moved away.)
