I remember that kay sara sara song "What ever will be will be"
Although I am subjected to Corrie so she must feel comfy round me.
I just don't want to let someone in and then they think I am bad. Like no one at work knows about what happened.
Why would she think you are bad? It is your family who were bad, not you.0 -
just skimmed the thread, and am pleased you have had someone to share the festivities with. However, your past is your past. Its happened, and has made you into the person you are. She obviously feels comfortable and safe with you.
Relax, go with it and if all else fails, have fun!“Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.”0 -
Just how many people would want to see a guy who has been homeless and slept in some awful places.
But from what I remember, what happened to your wasn't your fault and was out of your control. I don't know whether my husband has ever been homeless or slept in awful places, but it wouldn't affect me if he had.
As long as you are honest with her about what happened with your family then I don't see why it would matter to her and if it does, then she isn't the lovely person you think she is. We all have things in our past that we wouldn't want our partners to know so you don't have to tell her absolutely everything about your past.0 -
You mustn't worry about getting hurt otherwise it will just get in the way of ANY possible relationships in your future. All relationships are a bit of gamble and that is just the way life is.
Enjoy her company, she obviously likes you and see how things go. There is no rush.
Re your past, if it comes up in conversation, I believe you should be honest. It shouldn't really make any difference to how she sees you.0 -
I really do enjoy her company, Shame I have to work today though.
I just do worry about my past though, I don't want people thinking I am some layabout who got into that situation by my own choosing, I just the way I see it. Got dealt some bad cards in life0 -
But am I correct in assuming the following..
Cuddles under duvet.....you have a nice warm bed
Watch TV.....you have a tv
Able to cook....you have a kitchen
Off to work....you have a job
Sorry to be blunt but you should be forking proud of yourself if you have been on the streets and now have this.
I don't know how people end up on the streets. I am damned sure though that a lot of them would look up to you and would love the dilemma you have now. Be proud of what you have achieved, not ashamed of how you got there
(sorry that sounds like I should write self help books
!!) “Listen earnestly to anything your children want to tell you, no matter what. If you don't listen eagerly to the little stuff when they are little, they won't tell you the big stuff when they are big, because to them all of it has always been big stuff.”0 -
I know I should be happy but it always niggles me. I know I shouldn't
I do get the feeling she is keen, 10 texts today just random chat and asking what I want for tea. She is going to try and cook again.0
