I wrote in a little while ago asking for people's stories on how they have moved on from a toxic relationship when they have kids.
Well today I have a date/getting to know him day with the guy I met when I asked the questions. We've been texting every day for weeks. He even sent me a smashing photo of the sunrise yesterday morning he had just done an extremely long shift in order to get a weekend off to spend with me. I'm a little smitten but am aware I need to take this slowly. We've been asking about each other's interests and lives and it's been an actual blast. We still haven't discussed kids but I figure that's not even on the agenda yet and it's not like I can't have any. And there is no harm in getting to know each other before the subject comes up.
So wish me luck ladies n gents. I'm a little nervous I have 26 hours kid free and I am going to use it all to my advantage :D

I'm not ready for this yet but I have been in a toxic relationship and it hit me hard. (Only separated for a year and a half). You give me hope that I will be ready in time and I am SOOOO excited for you :-) have fun!
Good luck, have fun, remover that there is nothing wrong with (once you've met) realising that he isbt your forever guy. I know that sounds negative but you too often friends try to make things work when there were red flags from the first day they met.
I hope there are no red flags though :)
No red flags as of yet, cuddling on the couch, TV watching, plenty of talking, he made me dinner, I did the washing up.... Held hands and made out (I know TMI right?) spent the night as much time as I could with him only to go back and cook him dinner last night. (Thanks to me wonderful support system) only problem I had was my ex. He knew where I was (I think he hacked my find my iPhone) He's only in town for a couple of days so I wanted to spend as much time as I could with him. So far so good. I can't wait to see him again. This is one big ol journey scares me to death but I'm positive about how it's going.
