You've grown so much since I had to say goodbye. And you're right - all I ask is that you show that kind of love and caring to others. It sounds to me like you're doing a good job. You know me too well, btw :), even though I have changed a lot, and I bet I could surprise you. My latest adventures have been amazing! Good luck to you in whatever you do. Patience, my friend. - FG I’m so proud of you. You’ve grown so much since I had to say goodbye. And you’re right – all I ask is that you show that kind of love and caring to others.

What he wanted sounded so nice, so perfect that I wanted to be a part of it, even though it would take a lot of work for me to become the woman he wanted. He wanted someone who would be happy as a housewife, who would wear dresses and cook and clean.... I'm just not that person. I knew that when he suggested it, but figured that I could change. Of course, I didn't. Well, I did change, but not in the way that he wanted. When we broke up, I cried and cried, partially because I was relieved to not have to become that woman that he wanted, and partially at the loss of his love. I'm so lucky to have found Ben. He loves me for who I am, doesn't try to force me into skirts and dresses, and understands when I want to learn something new & exciting (like knitting ;) ). I have an ex like that.
