I’m engaged to a wonderful, amazing, complicated and highly intense man. He is OCD and ADHD. When he is involved in something, he is involved 150%. This has led to many disagreements between us. We had a disagreement about his time recently.
Tonight, after a very long day at work, this man called me and said he wanted to take myself, my grandson, my son and daughter-in-law out to dinner. It hits me; this man is so giving, so forgiving and yes, still complicated. I’ve been through an ugly divorce after 16 years of marriage. I purposely stayed single for 7 years after my divorce to focus on my son and getting through the heartache as I tried to grow.
When I met him, he was the kind of man I had never had experience with. He was confident, intense, amazingly intelligent and PATIENT. So patient with my insecurities and my “concrete walls” I had constructed to keep others out so that I could avoid pain. I know I drove him nuts.
Six years later, here I am still with this amazing man. This man who hangs on to me with such a tight grip even though, in my fear, I run from him. He continues to love me and he loves me so unconditionally that it literally amazes me.
I think he’s taken the pen from this writer and has begun to write our future. It’s a story about “staying” through the good and the ugly, because love deserves that.
I have happily given him my pen.
I can’t wait to turn each page.
I hope someone is out there holding YOUR pen and writing a “forever” with you even though you run from love out of fear. Let them take your pen, knock down your walls and make you believe once again.
It
Is
Possible.
