I never thought this would happen to me. But the woman I've been dating for the past eight weeks is--I don't know--perfect for me? That sounds unreasonable.
But it's true in a way. And it's not like I'm on Cloud Nine or anything. In some ways the relationship is very mundane. A lot of just dealing with the ordinary b.s. of life. But this weekend someone pointed out to us something that we've both felt from the beginning: that we are much greater than the sum of our parts. As a couple, she and I are much more powerful and able to create happiness than either of us could alone.
That's how a relationship is supposed to be! It's supposed to make your life better. But I've never had this before. It feels so right.
We have basically started taking for granted that we are going to build a life together, although we still know we can't rush things. All in good time. But I have little doubt that we are going to live together and make a home and have kids. I don't know how I can know that after eight weeks but I do. She makes me a better person. I like who I am with her. And I feel completely secure, completely sure that she loves me.
I still want my T to be my mommy(/lover?), though. It's a separate issue. I still have to figure that out.

Yes, it's incredible. I've never felt this way before. I have no fear of getting hurt. I am securely attached. It's weird.Thanks, gg. It's nice to share something happy with you for once. :)

Hi Crushedout,
I think that soon you'll be changing your posting name to notcrushedout. A good relationship is one that can deal with the mundane and everyday b.s. of life. Looks like you've found a keeper.
