So I have been offering up photos of the wife and posting things we or she has done. And I get asked a lot on how we met. Well this is how that went down.
In 2010 i had broken up with someone I had been dating for 4 years. And before this i went from one steady relationship to another. Trying to get them to each work out longer than the last. And I did, but I never went out and had “fun”. So for about a year I basically slept around while leaving things open for a long term. But taking this time as a learning experience and figuring things out because I was still pretty inexperienced relationship wise.
While I was doing this I was finding out a lot of things about myself actually. Insecurities I had. Areas I needed to grow in. But the most important lesson was that what I thought I wanted in a partner, was not the complete picture of what worked well with me as a person. And if I wanted anything more than a fling, this information would be most valuable. And I was being fair. I was up front, about how I was going through some growth, how I was a broken person and anything long term may not be in the cards.
