Met the parents!

Mandy, I told him exactly that last night. I said that I will definitely give his mom another chance... I understand she may have had misconceptions about me just because of his past girlfriends, and it was her first time meeting me and she probably feels that nobody is good enough for her son. And I can definitely prove I'm enough for him, and more But I said if she says anything rude to me, or anything I find offensive, I WILL stand up for myself, even if he doesn't. But I also told him I would expect him to stand up for me too He said he's definitely stood up to his mom before in the same situations with girlfriends. Soooo we'll see what happens. I'm going to just look past this first meeting and try to start fresh when I visit them!

"I will do anything to make you happy"

Lindsey - that's a lovely thing for him to say and to feel. I would definitely give him another chance. Remember, things do not happen overnight. It's a process. Even if he messes up, I think you are handling this very well, so just keep on doing what you're doing. I also like that he likes to discuss things, and doesn't get defensive.

I really do hope it lasts, and I know you do too. But, even if it doesn't last, it sounds like a very nice relationship to be in and you and he are getting a lot from each other and growing in very important ways. Enjoy it!

Thank you Judy, I am really enjoying it And guess what! We've been together since Friday night and his mom hasn't called ONCE! That's never happened! I even talked to my mom twice this morning lol.
We went to another open house yesterday, and the house was gorgeous and relatively cheap. There have been a few offers already but he can't find out how much of a mortgage he can get until he talks with the bank on Tuesday. He really wants to put an offer in on it though. And he was saying things to me like "It's only 3 blocks from your grandma's house so we could just walk there and visit!" and "The yard is all fenced in so Layla can run around!" and he was talking about how we could knock out the wall between two little bedrooms upstairs to make a bigger master bedroom with a large closet and a vanity area for me. ME. I always think about that kind of stuff but I love that he's thinking about it too. We're not ready to take that step yet, but he's thinking of me already in his decisions.
I don't feel I've ever been this serious about someone before. I don't want to jinx anything, but even before we were seeing each other, when we were just friends, I told my cousin "He is going to fall in love with me, he's the one" and I still believe it with all my heart.

I knew that my husband was the one for me before we started dating. He had all the qualities that I loved and I haven't been disappointed!!!!! Good luck, Lindsey!!

[Lindsey]

I love hearing that from people like you Diana, because you're so happy in your marriage! I always laughed at people who said they had "love at first sight", or knew after a couple months of dating that they wanted to be together forever, but I guess it's just because I've never experienced it before. So now I think, maybe it is real! Maybe you CAN know! But we'll see what the future brings I can't believe how excited I am to take him home for the first time next weekend. I never liked taking boyfriends home before.
