Title: Other news!
Post by: nigelb on September 30, 2021, 07:54:07 PM
Thought I'd post this up. Only two people on this forum have knowledge of what happened a couple of weeks ago. Most on here know of me and my circumstancies.
For those that know of me and dont know...my wife died 7yrs ago of cancer. I met my current partner 6yrs ago.
A week last Saturday I asked her to marry me while on a long weekend in Cartmel in the lake district.
She said yes!
We get married next summer in Cartmel.
We are so happy.

Chris...you and Moy have a special place in my heart. The support you gave me on the day of her funeral will never be forgotten.

Of course she said yes....I'm a bit of a catch. And a keeper..apparantly😁

Well done Nige, as i was reading your post I almost thought for a moment you were going to say you were getting married at the bbb, now that would really be something.

Congratulations.

Not everyone gets a second chance in love (yes I've used that word in a very male dominated forum), but you deserve that chance.

I could see the hurt you were suffering 7 years ago, even though you tried to hide it, make the most of this chance mate.

To be honest Mark...it still hurts now. A week on Sunday ..the 10th....would have been our 34th anniversary.

I feel very lucky to have found someone who has so many of Jaynes qualities.

Thankyou for your kind words.

Nige, I remember all those years ago and that heartache.  They say time eases everything, but some things can't be fixed and it's hard to learn to live around that and make the best of the life that you have left.  I'm very glad to hear that you have found happiness, and may you and your wife-to-be have many happy years to come!
