Sad story, then a Happy story.

shilala · 07-22-2009, 12:17 PM

I recently finished up a break-up of my 2 1/2-3 year relationship with Kerri.
The breakup lasted about a year. We've been living apart for about five months, but still saw each other a lot. My buddy claims it's the world's longest breakup ever.

The last month or so I've been seeing a girl named Annie, and we're fast falling head over heels.
Kerri was 34, Annie's 48. Both gorgeous and brilliant.
Today Kerri and I wrapped up the whole imaginary divorce and once and for all agreed to disagree and took care of the last of the property distribution.

Annie has waited patiently and supportively while I mop things up, and has become a friend like I've not had in years.
She's beautiful, loving, not nuts, doesn't drink or drug, and loves God more than life. She's got a 15 year old daughter that my daughter adores, and she's a brilliant, gifted, loving and well brought up child.

I've been best of friends with her entire family for years, but never really got to know Annie.
The best part is we came together through Christ, both of us praying for the same gift at the same time. We talked last night, and we've decided to just let 'er rip.
We also agreed to screw things up, back up, and love the other more than ourselves.
I haven't seen her yet today, and I'm excited. It's the first day of a brand new start.

If you all would keep us in your hearts and send some prayers for us, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like the start of something great.

I still love the last two women that were in my life for a long time.
I just ain't going where they're going.
I'm happy to follow Annie. Time will tell.

rizzle · 07-22-2009, 12:37 PM

Good for you bro. I don't know you but you seem like the kind of guy that is deserving of such a relationship. Hope it works out for the both of you.

bowhnter · 07-22-2009, 01:36 PM

Good story, hoping for the best. Sounds like your daughter is happy with the situation as well!!

Volt · 07-22-2009, 01:40 PM

Best wishes for the two of you Scott. Sounds like your both on the same page in life. I'll smoke a nice one for ya'll tonight.

massphatness · 07-22-2009, 01:53 PM

I'm happy and sad at the same time. Does that make sense, Scott? I wish you the absolute best on your new journey.

14holestogie · 07-22-2009, 01:54 PM

Here's wishing you all the best, Scott. I love the way you share your life with us. Makes me smile.

I'm happy for you Bro!!!

Thanks for the story, Scott.

While sad, sometimes a breakup is just the only way to continue on with life. I can sympathize - I divorced my first wife after 4 years, and a year later met a wonderful girl who I have shared all of my trials and triumphs for the past 32 years.

I only hope that you can find the same happiness with Annie, and enjoy your life fully for many, many years.

In order to help, I will be smoking something great tonight, as a sacrifice to the Gods of Tobacco and Fire to entice them in blessing your new relationship!

Congatulations!
