Hey all, Just an update, after much thought I have finally decided my relationship with J, the love, the respect I have for him is all worth going forward with him. He's a great guy with so much love to offer back. I was so undecided, it seemed to take so long to make up my mind, but now that I have, it's a relief and it feels right. We both want to go forward, he's been spending time at my house, with my kids, etc. His parents invited me for Christmas day with them,unfortunately my boys won't be able to make it because of their dad's family but I'd rather introduce them at a different time than Christmas anyway. I will meet several relatives who are coming into town as well. I am sure you won't hear the words I am engaged for a while as I really want us to get to know each other as a family, but it is our goal now and hopefully with work, a lot of effort and a whole lot of love we will make it. I appreciate so much all the kind words, the caring words, and the advice over the past years. I feel like we have all been through so many good and bad times together, and even though we are all adults, we have all grown up so much since our divorces. I appreciate so much those of you who have been there for me, and cared enough to want the best for me and give me good advice. I am sure I'll need even more advice as a new chapter in my life emerges now. I hope you will all wish nothing but the best for me and J and have only good thoughts now that I have made this decision. Night all, A <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

One thing that I have find to be so great about MB. It opens a door for those going thru their dark days and then helps them to their bright days. This can only happen with the help and support of all those that read, study, type and give their time and energy so freely and unselfishly. So to all those many MB posters; May God bless and Have a very merry Christmas....

Sag, Karona, Goodguy, Immovingon, Nams and all those friends who haven't responded but I know wish me well too, thanks all.
Sag, you are right, it's nice to know we can get support during the sad times and the happy times!
I was meaning to tell you guys something I found interesting, one of the questions I answered that helped me make my decision as I was mulling over everything and anything, reasons why, reasons why not, was "What if I commit and a year later the relationship ends again?" Then it occurred to me that if I go into this relationship, my past experiences while some times were sad, has given me a very valuable lesson, and that if I put 100% in this relationship with J and it doesn't work, I will still be just fine, and I will know I gave it my all. So I found a lot of peace in my decision after that.
Oh and Lucks, when you read this, you did call it once again didn't you? HAH!

Consider how hard it is to change yourself and you'll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.

Yep, Lucks, I remember you insisting on IM that after J has time to think it over he'll want to move forward. I never would have guessed that one. TR, sorry if I missed that you or anyone else said to me your sure J would come around as well. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Oh and Lucks, when you read this, you did call it once again didn't you?
