Don and I began to spend a lot of time together. We started seeing each other every day and before I knew it he was staying over at my house every night. I was absolutely CRAZY about him. I remember one evening I was cooking dinner and he was in the kitchen talking to me and he said "So, how was your day today?" Something as simple as this just knocked me off of my feet. It was just so unreal to me that I was having such a NORMAL relationship with someone who was interested in what was going on in my life. During my marriage, I would walk in the door and IF my husband was home, he would be upstairs watching TV or playing video games and he would not even acknowledge my presence. Don was actually interested in ME! I was really falling for this guy!!
Things were good, life was good, I was finally happy! Plus…he had GREAT friends who I was quickly growing to adore. I remember a month or so into our relationship we were at my house one Saturday, laying on the couch and he looked at me and told me that he was in love with me!! I was SO HAPPY!! I felt like I loved him too! I was on CLOUD 9! I thought I had finally found "the one" who I was supposed to be with!
My family absolutely ADORED him! He was such a charming guy. They quickly grew to like him more than they even liked me. I felt like things were going so great.
I remember meeting his parents for the first time and thinking that he had the best family. I really wanted to be with someone who had fantastic parents because my ex-husband's parents and I never had that great relationship that you would love to have with your in-laws. I really could not believe that things seemed to be going so smoothly!!
I was living in a complete dream world and looking at everything through rose colored glasses. I had rebounded from a horrible divorce and met a wonderful man and I felt as if everything was going to be great from here on out! He was a nice guy, he was cute, and we had so much fun together…and I loved him! What more could I want?? After all…I had seen NO red flags…or had I?
