I know its been three years.... I moved to my new home with Jake and step daughter. November passed and as I got into December things eased, I still wasn't happy and had the odd tear here and there, set off by a song usually. Looking back it was Susan Boyles' version of Wild Horses that would do it.
I saw her once or twice and boy did it hurt but at least I had some sort of inner peace albeit outweighed by constant loneliness. December gave way to a new year and on January 2nd I received a text message from her. I didn't want to read it, no thats not true, I read it....."I dont want a divorce" She managed to totally throw me. I didn't reply. Ten minutes later another text asking why I wouldn't reply. The truth was I was scared, she tore my heart out and could I ever let myself feel that vulnerable again? I sent a text back explaining that I was driving and would call her later as I couldn't do this by text. I kidded myself that I needed time to think. I didn't, its always been her.
We agreed to take things slow. She had my name tattooed on her hand as a gesture (shes got a needle phobia so this was a pretty big gesture.) We didn't take things slow and she had moved in within weeks. Things have been up and down but we've settled into a routine.
Im happy now. My life has changed so much in the three years. I now have friends and apart from my current job I tell everyone about my Aspergers, its worked well, I have friends, they frequently describe me as wonderfully inappropriate. Every day is a challenge dealing with different social situations. I lost my job as a sound designer and the freelance work dried up. Im not sure working from home was that good for me. As I have no real qualifications I ended up in a call centre, did a stint in a care home and have been recently been working as a sales rep.
I decided to start my blog again because the story had an ending and I hadn't told it. When I decided to blog again I realised the story doesn't end so heres to more fun.
