I've met someone. He's wonderful.
I've seen him before at the 'bux near my office a million times. I always thought he was really cute. I tried to talk to him one day and he totally blew me off (I tease him about that regularly). And then one day, I was there alone and he started chatting it up with me. He gave me his business card and told me to call him (this was sometime in the beginning of March). I think I called him that night actually - we talked for a while and then decided to meet up that Friday night (which was March 11th - I have a thing for dates/times!). We went out for drinks and just talked for a few hours. Three weeks later when I went on my "me" mini-vacay, he came and spent the last day there with me. He catered to my every whim. And not that that's all I need, but it was nice to have someone care about me.
I've met a lot of his friends (went with him to a friends bday party this past weekend), I've met his 2 teenage kids (super great kids!). When I'm with him, I never want our time to end, and when we're apart, I miss him more than I can explain. And, he feels the same. He tells me everyday how much he misses me and how much he adores me. He's met my parents and my parents really like him. We've talked about the future and what we want - we want so much of the same for us. He wants more kids and he'd be willing to do whatever it takes to have a baby (which for me would be a deal breaker). We can sit for hours and just talk and be together...I never had that kind of communication with my ex-h.
There is one downside. He's a cop. Now, I'm getting out of a marriage with a cop and I don't want a repeat of that lifestyle. I just feel like this is so different...

A COP??!!
That's so awesome, Mel. I'm very excited for you!
Well, he's bigger than a cop - he's a US Marshal. So, although technically he's a cop, he's not out on the streets patrolling...he spends most of his time in the office...

US Marshal is totally different. Ok you have my blessing.
YAY!!!!!!
Aw, this post is making me all weepy. Its so great to hear you sound excited!
So happy for you.
So good to hear you are happy!!
maybe the LE is just your type? nothing wrong with that!!
So, so happy for you Mel! I totally get what your feeling about the whole cop thing and I don't know exactly what your ex does but a Marshal is a whole different ballgame than a street cop. The day to day stress, crap they have to deal with it, the physical and emotional level of daily stress........all so incredibly different. It really is a whole different level of LE.
