Touche Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 That's true about my ex. Didn't like him when I met him but after he pursued me for two years, changed my mind about him and fell in love. I will never ignore my gut instincts again. Lesson learned and reinforced. With my fiancé, I liked him on first meet. He's solid on the inside. Someone to lean on, someone dependable. Also, someone who's wickedly funny, who keeps me on my toes with wordplay but also challenges me intellectually with serious topics. That's so great. I love your story because it really reminds me of my own story so much. I guess I'm taking some of the "attacks" personally also for this reason. (You called him your fiance' ! YAY! Does it seem weird to you? ) Link to post Share on other sites

Touche Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 How did you know? I kept typing it, changing it to snowman, then changing it back again! I KNEW it! I even said to myself "I bet she typed "snowman" again and changed it and then changed it back" HAHAHA! That's why I HAD to comment on whether it seemed "funny" to you.

jerbear Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 You do realize TBF, you've given we LS ladies so much fun, girly, material to work with. By the time 2010 rolls around were going to have a bus going around the states and canada, picking us all up, to eventually BE at that afore mentioned party !!!! That would be both fun and hilarious mel! The question now is when, where, and most importantly, what color and decor should the bus have? No yellow school bus for me. Maybe we can ask Touche about the "bus" I'm happy for you, only 1 year away to 2010. Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat33 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Ohhh I dunno I think you had an idea, you had a hunch as early as 5 days after you met him practically. That is AMAZING! [COLOR=#660000]http://www.loveshack.org/forums/show...27#post1986727[/COLOR] Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcat, do you enjoy making things up in your head? Your penchant for conspiracy theories is running amok! Just look at your posts in the political forum AND when you've had to previously apologize to me for misreading my posts. Just stop, will you? Link to post Share on other sites
Touche Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Stop it you two. This is a wonderful thing. We have enough crap on LS don't we? Don't make me bust out the wooden spoon! And TC, your turn is coming...I can feel it. I think it's finally, finally sinking in! Wow, this man is mine and I'm his Uhm, if that rock on your finger doesn't drive the point home I don't know what will!:p Link to post Share on other sites

Just look at your posts in the political forum AND when you've had to previously apologize to me for misreading my posts. Just stop, will you? So I'm not the only one that noticed this after all. TBF- on a R advice board that is littered with broken hearts and betrayals, some bitterness and jealousy is inevitable when someone has some happy news. I have experienced some of this as well. There are several of us who remain on LS long after the initial heartbreak that brought us here has faded, and happy news from these kind of people is bound to happen! And its soooo nice when it does. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 Haha...Touche. It keeps catching my eye, when I'm typing! sb, it's been over 2 years since D-day and 9 or so guys, to get to this point. It's disturbing to see people begrudge my happiness and act in such a petty manner. My happiness doesn't leverage off anyone else. Link to post Share on other sites

I still admire my diamonds when I am typing esp as we have those halogen lights.... call me shallow, but I do. So there. Link to post Share on other sites
Storyrider Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I agree. I still admire my diamonds when I am typing esp as we have those halogen lights.... call me shallow, but I do. So there. Diamonds look especially pretty under multiple, small lights, like the kind in large rooms with high ceilings and lots of little lights either set in or hanging down. Do you know what I mean? It catches the facets. My diamond is extremely small, but I also have my grandmother's engagement ring, which I wear on my pinky (yes, she had very small hands) and although bought in the depression era, so also quite small, it has a better cut. It sparkles nicely in certain lights. Link to post Share on other sites

OpenBook Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yes that's true I have apologized in the past for misreading your post. Maybe I'm misreading as well. It all just seems so...ODD. It would be absolutely horrifying if this was all a made-up story. Too many good people on here seeking help, to be led down the garden path like that. I sincerely hope I'm wrong. But I don't begrudge anyone for their happiness... if it is indeed happiness, and not just some attention-seeking or self-validating campaign. It really is a fantastic story.

Yes it would be really disgusting, and I am sincerely hoping it is not made-up as well that would be so nutty. I just find it really odd that her comment in Allina's thread last month was because: That hunch was about allina getting engaged. I didn't want to jinx it for her by stating it outright But the thread was about Allina and her man shopping for a ring and she says right in the opening post that they have talked openly about marriage and it's in the plans, I mean they were shopping for a ring how much more of a "hunch" do you need to "predict" Allina's bo was going to pop the question or to talk openly about it???? It really seemed like TBF was talking about her own secret, not Allina's. That was my question and hence skeptism. Oh well... Link to post Share on other sites
underpants Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 That makes absolutely no sense. TBF you go girl. There is nothing better then to see a couple in which both partners are good, genuine and for each other. Some are just miffed I guess because no one had to cheat in this scenario to attain that. Whatev's. I want to see a picture of this suitor of yours. Right now I can only picture Frosty in my mind. Link to post Share on other sites

Touche Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Oh dear. I go out on a date with Mr. T., come back and this is still going on. What's so "ODD" about it, OB? My mom and dad also got engaged within just a few weeks. My mom and stepdad too. And they were together for almost 30 years. (Had my dad not died 5 years into their marriage I'd bet they would have still been married.) I just don't see what's so odd about it. I'd really like to know. Is it the norm? No. Is it generally recommended. No. But when two people are truly on the same page (as it appears to be in this case) and stage in life and have that chemistry in addition to being compatible in all the important ways, then what the heck is so odd about knowing that early on? I don't get it. My ex and I were together 6 years before we got married...look where that got me. Knowing someone for a looong time is no guarantee of long-term success. So I'm not seeing your point. My longest relationship which is with my H, is the only one where I knew very early on (4 weeks) that he was the "one." Coincidence? I'm not sure. But it never happened that way for me before. Never. Make of that what you will. Yep, Undies. I'm picturing him as Frosty too, TBF until I see otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites
Author Trialbyfire Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 It's just more of the same old, same old baiting technique Touche. I just finished dinner and it was yummy. Glad you had a nice date with Mr. T. I'm going out soon with my snowman fiancé to a party with my friends. They want to celebrate the engagement! Link to post Share on other sites
