You Might Want to Sit Down For This
First I would like to apologize for my rather complete absence from live journal over the past month and a half. I hope you all can forgive me and understand once I tell you why.
Put simply, I have a girlfriend. Yes... amazingly enough the 28 year old virgin who up until reason hadn't even gotten a real kiss, is now spending the majority of his free time with a romantically interested female. Now... I have been keeping this mostly under my hat till this point and am still being smart enough to avoid names because technically said girlfriend is married. Now don't panic, it's not as bad as it sounds, because I really should have used the term 'seperated' and seeking divorce. They are not truly divorced yet, but had decided on it before I allowed any romantic ties to develope between myself and her (her husband was not nearly so discreet). So let's just say the last month and a half have been rather crazy... in a good way discovering all the joys of a relationship (and her finally getting to enjoy a good one), and in a bad way in helping her deal with the divorce and the issues that stem from that. Most notably the fact that up until this divorce she was a stay at home mother, and now is trying to find a job and apartment without any credit to speak off.
.... it seem I'm letting these details just slip right out, yes indeed I did say mom. She has a beautiful 2-year old daughter (which of course makes the divorce exponentialy more complicated). I am helping out where I can, but she is quite reticent about depending on me too much (a good thing). But all that said I will do what I can to help and be as supportive as neccessary for 2 simple reasons: one, because that's the kind of guy I am, and two, because I believe I am in love.
That's right I said it, I love her... more than I've ever loved anything before. And while there are lots of complications and insanities in the immediate future, I have a strong feeling that I am going to ask this woman's hand in marriage after some of these problems smooth themselves out. Some would say it seems to hasty to make such a decisions, and I agree which is why I haven't made them yet.... but it is a strong possibility.... and the idea has me immeasurably pleased. Wish me luck, everyone!
