Just all of a sudden he smiled and there he was. My heart just splatted at his feet. I don’t even know what to do with this. We’re closing in on 5 months together…it just seems sudden to me. Luckily I’ve got 2 weeks before he gets back to get my head straight.
@ALAFAIR….Sorry can you clarify what you meant by that? Not sure if this is a good or bad thing…
I lived about 45 min outside the nearest city when I first moved to Alberta. When I started dating I honesty didn’t want to date anyone further than that, at the end of the day, I had to take 45 min to drive to the city, and then back, usually late at night after a date. So more than 2 hours would not have been fun for me. But personal preferences eh?
My boyfriends birthday is in a couple weeks. I get back from a trip on his birthday but since he follows a stricter diet during the week, he agreed that doing something on the weekend would be better. So I have a meal and dessert thought of, but will still visit him the day I get back 🙂
I think every person in a relationship needs to express their personal preference for celebrating those kinds of special occasions. Some people want it the day of, others couldn’t care less. But never fun trying to figure it out on your own with no insight.
@hfantods Thanks! I haven’t actually applied yet, so that process is happening this fall, in anticipation of starting in 2019. Fingers crossed! I would have the opportunity to come back to Ontario actually with some the places I am applying to (Guelph/Waterloo).
It is kind of in the same field, I am planning to do more Environmental Management/Site Assessment. SOme of the programs I am applying to do have a continued Planning portion (which is my undergrad background and current work), that would be ideal. But I am really looking to expand my environmental science and land knowledge to push me into management and conservation maybe. We shall see!
I always thought that being able to sleep in bed comfortably and through the night meant a ‘good relationship’ or a good sign at least. Ultimately after having slept with enough guys in enough beds, it’s the bed that makes the difference haha
My friend has been with her BF for almost 5 years now and she still can’t sleep in the same bed comfortable with him. She has difficulty sleeping already due to anxiety and other mental health stuff, so not surprised. But enjoy the good sleeping while you can 😛
I have an idea what my BF makes, a bit more than me, and he has an idea as well for my wage.
We had a discussion around finances around the 8 month mark as well. I am currently trying to work my way out of MC debt, and it snowballed on me after I moved into the city. I tried doing it on my own and looking more closely at my spending etc. But I wasn’t having much luck, so he offered to help and has been helping me keep an eye on my spending, as well as helping me with a timeline to pay it off. I should have like 95% paid off by the end of August.
He is very savvy with money, so as much as I appreciate his help I am also a bit disappointed in how I have been struggling to maintain mine. I think having a job that pays so well (after being in school and then working minimum wage) was a bit of a shock for me and I didn’t have a big goal to save as much as I could have. After I pay my debt off I am hoping to open a TFSA account (tax free savings account here in Canada) to help me save up for school next fall (Masters), and to just have something to cushion me.
I don’t follow crossfit religiously, or really all that much, but do follow the IG page and one or two crossfitters (abbot the red, mathew fras, and Katrin from iceland). And abbot was kicked out. Kind of surprising, but also not.
lately I have noticed I get anxious about seeing men who look like my ex from back East. I know he would NEVER be out here, has no reason too (in the Navy and my new city is landlocked, so wouldn’t even be out here for a detachment). But because we had a bad falling out after the breakup and subsequent move back home for me, I get nervous about potentially seeing him ever again and how he would treat me. Whether he would look past me or acknowledge me. I feel kind of bad for how things turned out after I moved back home, so do still have some residual guilt, but lately it has been on my mind.
Otherwise I have been fortunate that all the men I have dated short term otherwise are back in Ontario and most definitely not here out West, and even back home I never crossed paths with them.
Happy BD thread! Been fun sharing and venting on this thread 🙂
My BF and I are in a rock and a hard place with pets. We both want one…it is just what. He is allergic to dogs and cats, and I am more allergic to cats with no issues for dogs. So preference for dogs. However he has yet to find one that isn’t overly taxing on his allergies. He really like samoyeds and I have gradually become a fan of these glorious land clouds haha Again, like Hfantods, no time soon are we getting one. But I can see in the future us pursuing that option.
Best of luck @MissD, I had to do the same when I moved across Canada, only two suitcases to my name! It will be such an exciting adventure 🙂
Have you found work out there yet?
@Lucia_la my friend and I always joke about the memes and videos where cats just literally ‘find’ people and become their cat. I am jealous of your scenario!
@MissD Congrats!! That is so exciting! How are you managing the move out there from across the pond?? Are you shipping loads of stuff or will you need to do a huge overhaul of your possessions and bring bare minimum?
