    I had to travel the world to meet the one....

    Postby munchkin859 on Wed Nov 16, 2011 12:59 pm

    So I broke up with my ex after realising that he was going nowhere with his life, too involved with illegal substances along with the rest. He did adore me but after attending one of his mates weddings and looking up at the bride and groom and not seeing us in that positiion it was really time to move on! :scream:

    Moved in with my best friend at the time, and we decided to go do a year in the UK and travel a bit of the world :happy-cheerleadersmileyguy: ....I ended up going it alone as she got a bf inbetween the time we booked our tickets, and the date we were scheduled to leave...but that's another story in itself!!! :nothappyjan:

    So I headed to Manchester as I have some distant family there, including my 29 year old cousin. She was living with my now FH as she was dating his brother at the time. So with me having no friends, I hung out at their place a fair bit, but they didn't have a spare bed for when I stayed the night....I was initially sleeping on this tiny fold out thing, that was more for a child, and was so uncomfortable....meanwhile FH had a Queen bed that was only half being utilised....

    After a couple of sleepovers on the small fold out mattress, and FH and I were decent friends now, I decided to tell him that I was going to be sleeping in his bed when I stay from now on, nothing intended, just want a comfy sleep! So we continued to sleep in the same bed most weekends together but nothing happened for about 2 months.... :clap:

    And then.....well you know how the story goes! One drunken night.... :reow: lol...we kept it a secret for a little while...maybe a good 3 to 4 weeks....from my cousin...but it became common news to all the friends and that....

    I then went away for a month travelling around Europe and during that time we realised how much we missed each other :sob: ...so when he picked me up from the airport, it became offical....

    And that's how the story began! :clap:

    Forgot to mention - we now don't speak with my distant cousin as she's an imature, jealous so and so...but it's all good. Better off without her......

    And she's not dating FH's brother now either, they do have a child together but with us living in Oz now we obviously don't need to be in contact with the mother!
