LMAOOOOOOOO

This probably won't get a lot of traction, and I'm okay with that. I've known him 20 years. He's had a crush on me for the entire time, and I brushed him off a few years back. A few months ago he pursued me, and I jumped in. I moved in with him a month later. It hasn't been perfect, but we communicate well and have worked through all of the bumps.

I normally ignore red flags in relationships. There haven't been any red flags with him. I've never been so blissfully happy. My friends love him, my family approves, my kids adore him and his kids have started calling me their step mom. My best friend asked him one night if he wanted to marry me, he told her I've got him for life and he would marry me the next day if possible (we are both in the process of divorce, with that said we were single long enough that this is not a rebound).

A couple of weeks ago we were talking about us and our future and how happy we are, and I said "I know it's traditional for the guy to ask, but I want you and I want this and I want forever, so will you marry me?" And he said yes! I have been walking on air ever since, we are planning a very small wedding with just immediate family, followed by bar hopping with friends next July. That gives us a year to sort it all out. I asked him to marry me, no rings, no planning, I just did it when it felt right, and now we have the rest of our lives to make up for missing out on the last 20 years. And I have never been so happy ❤️
