Relationships take work

Relationships Can be saved…
It seems to me that relationships are a very tricky thing. Especially these days when there is so much going on. Divorce is astronomical and affairs seem to be second nature to many.
In light of that, I found a great website last week that has helped me to understand a bit more about my current relationship. Kinda has put a lot of things into perspective. I read here and there when I get a chance and there is a good amount that I find similar to my situation. Its been really informative about a lot of things.
Over the past few weeks I feel as though that i have made significant changes in my life and they are all for the better.
The first one being, V and I are dating again. I never would have imagined that we ever would be dating again. Two months ago - I hated him. At least, I thought I did. But I have since learned that it was my pain, my hurt and my anger at him that was the culprit.
Honestly, I never thought that it would be possible after the fighting we have done. But I guess, we are a couple that was meant to be, because here we are giving it another go.
This time though, it seems different. It feels as though I am seeing him as a different person.
V is incredible. He is smart, funny, intelligent, handsome, generous, reliable, sweet and very trustworthy. He has always been those things. But the anger I had inside prevented me from seeing them. He is also an incredible father. Something I have always admired in him.
Over the past few weeks we have been having tons of fun together. We are going out, holding hands, hugging, kissing, laughing, talking for hours and being wonderfully intimate with each other. I can honestly say that it feels like I am falling in love with him all over again. Actually, I know I am. It really feels like it was in 2003, when we first met. Except…this time - We are listening to each other.
I have also learned over the past few weeks how important communication is to a relationship. Honestly, I have never had good, solid communication with any of my relationships. So this is refreshing. We have been doing so much talking and actually getting to know each other all over again.
Of course it’s not all perfect either - and we have done a good amount of arguing too. Or more importantly, "discussing things." (read - whining…lol)
I am so glad that I made smart choices and got back together with V. I am very happy that we are working things out and trying to get through all of our problems and issues. It’s going to take time. And a lot of work. But this time, I am confident that it will be all worth it in the end.
I am so glad that I did not pursue my relationship with Adam any further. I am happy that it ended when it did. It was never meant to be.
And I am also happy that V’s phone decided to break that weekend! It gave us a new beginning. It gave us a chance to realize that we were meant to be together.
It gave us a chance to talk and realize that maybe we could work things out.
And most importantly, it gave me a reason to believe again.

congrats sweetie! I’m so, so proud of you! It’s an amazing thing when you look the person you love in the eyes and say “I love you and I want to make this relationship work” and they say the SAME THING back to you!
Good luck!
Cinn, Thanks hun!
We are doing really well so far. We are moving very slow though - so we do not fall back into the same old habits. It’s not been easy and we get into some stupid tiffs from time to time…But hopefully things will work out. Am super happy to read you and Ranger are doing well also!
Hi Blog Lady: I have not visited your blog in about a month. Wow a lot has changed for you. I best go back and read your old posts to find out how things ended with Adam. I do have a special interest in your love life because it helps with my perspective of my recent break up with my fiance of 7 years. I was hopeful about internet dating and long distance relationships but now you have gone back to the local guys I will have to dig through your old posts to find out why?
Love your blog and you deserve all the success it brings you

Hi Mark, Thanks for the comment. I am sad about your recent breakup. Relationships are so hard these days. Internet dating is not so bad. That’s where V and I actually met all those years ago! We met at a place called, “American Singles” I believe it was. If it wasn’t for the internet - we honestly would have never even met. So, yeah, I think it’s a pretty cool thing!
Long distance is sooo much harder. I don’t recommend that as much as I do just regular dating - or dating sites.
I am happy to read such a happy relationship post on here. It seems like the past month or two you have had such ups and downs. I am glad you are refinding love and believing again. I hope it continues to be as wonderful as it sounds.

It’s not all roses - but it’s a hell of a lot better then before!
