I won't go into immense detail, but I'm in a new relationship - with the woman who I have considered my best friend for a long time now.....
We met on a local/national health/parenting forum, and over 18 months our friendship has grown, to the point we're texting all day, and skypeing or facebook IM'ing all night.. We've shared everything with each other, and when she decided to come and stay for two weeks (while her kids were with their Dad for 3 weeks), neither of us ever imagined in our wildest dreams that when she left we'd be very much in love... but we are... and it feels so right...
Her and her ex-husband have almost 50/50 shared care, so she can't move down here without him, but he wants to move down here anyway - so as soon as he gets a teaching job that suits, they are packing up and coming on down. I cannot wait for us to be able to be together 'properly'! As much as I hate long distance, I do like the fact that we can get to know each other on a mental and emotional level without the physical stuff getting in the way (urrrm, not that I don't miss the physical stuff!)... We've created such a close, amazing bond.... I really can't explain how she makes me feel.. except I know she's my soulmate, and vice versa..
Never imagined 2012 would start out this way!
So happy for you!
