| Vincent.. My true love, my soulmate |
| by Kelly |
My story is about being married to the wrong man for 15 years and FINALLY meeting the one person I wish that I would have met years before.
It all starts April 2001. I was unhappily married, had three sons who I love very much. But.. I was missing something in my life. I was bored and tired of my husband spending all of his time either watching TV or being on the computer. When we were both home together, we had no communication at all. I worked 3-11 shift. When I was home I would do things with my kids because my husband never wanted to do anything with any of us. One night, I decided to go to a place online to meet penpals. I placed an ad. Simply stating.."Looking for online friends" I got many responses and was happy because I had alot of different people interested in getting to know me. I loved it! I got to know one man in particular. He was divorced, had 2 sons and was currently engaged to be married. The drawback for him was that she lived 2 hours away. I was very happy for him, but sad because she lived far away and they had issues to resolve before they could ever get married. He wanted to be close to his boys (they lived with mom) and she wouldn't budge. She wanted to stay where she was at and have him be the one to move out by her. He seemed happy at the time, but something was missing for him too. He would write me stories on Sunday nights telling me all about the wonderful things that he would do with his boys and his fiance on the weekends. I loved reading about it, but at the same time, I was sad because everything that he was writing about was what I had wished my husband would want to do with his own family. We continued writing back and forth for a few months. Actually he was the only penpal that I really cared about getting anything from. I was starting to feel something for him and I knew that I shouldn't. I would write and tell him how wonderful I thought he was and that I wished that my husband was more like him. After time passed: He then started writing to me about all of the problems that he had to deal with where his fiance was concerned. Ie: she never kept a job longer than a few weeks, she was a messy house keeper, she was tired and lazy all the time, she wouldn't move to a neutral place to make both of them happy and she was borrowing money from him to pay her bills because she couldn't keep a job. He and I talked a few more weeks and then decided it was time to exchange phone numbers. I knew it was wrong on my part because I was married, but by this time, I didn't care. I longed to talk to this man and I wanted to meet him in person. I made a plan with him to meet and the minute I laid eyes on him, for me, it was love at first sight. He was handsome as hell, soft spoken, funny and he had a laugh that made you want to smile. He was all the things that I had ever dreamed of "my man" to be. We were only supposed to be meeting as friends, but the chemistry was too strong between us. He kissed me that first night and I literally seen STARS! As time went by, my husband found out what I was doing behind his back and for that part I am sorry. I should have never met anyone while I was still married. I told him the truth about everything that I was doing and then I told him that I wanted a divorce. He agreed.
The hard part in all of this for me was that this man that I was falling in love with was still very much engaged. He didn't want to hurt his fiance. So..We decided to just remain friends. I went on to file for my divorce, which is still pending, and he remained with her. I met someone else and had a relationship for about 5 months. It never went anywhere because I could never stop thinking about this man that I truly loved, but I knew that I couldn't be with him until he came to me. He really tried to make things work out with his fiance, but it didn't. He eventually did end his engagement. When it was finally over, he told me that he needed time to be alone with his boys. I really thought that he didn't want to be with me afterall. I was devistated. I ended my relationship that I had going and decided to just sit back and wait.... It paid off. The man that I loved got back into the swing of things and decided to see if I was the one that he truly loved and wanted to be with. I was and we are together. In Mind, In spirit and forever. We got a second chance at true love. I love his boys, my kids love them and one day soon we will all be a "real" family. Good things do come to those who wait. The waiting part is hard, but beleive me, if you want something this wonderful to come into your life, the waiting is worth it. |
