@Sammy1 Morning! Yes Ma’am! Thank you mate. I will try not to get stuck in that loop.

Fauxapologise? ahaha is that even a real word? But I’m listening and thanks for always keeping it real. I have to admit I’m sensitive at times especially with new people, I don’t want to disappoint them like I’ve disappointed my loved ones.

Congrats mate, it’s always a complete fuzzy warmth engulfing feeling when you hear it the first time and in your heart you can tell the love for you is genuine.

Did you say it back? But don’t worry if you haven’t because it’s better to be honest with him about your feelings like you are and continue your vulnerability, let him know that you do care for him, but you don’t love him (yet).

There is nothing wrong with that, confession of love shouldn’t be made as an obligation.

I remember with ‘C’ she said I love you 4 months in, in my heart I knew from experience it was rushed, more infatuation. I wasn’t feeling it yet, old Danny would have probably lied and said it back and gone along for the ride, but instead it made me reassess everything. I could have been selfish and continue to enjoy the benefits but I knew deep down I needed more from a relationship. Putting an end to it here was better than dragging it on for time. So although a dick previously to ‘B’ I had already taken so much away from my time with her and undertaken so much growth,  and done the right thing this time around at least.

Your boyfriend, I think he sounds like a top lad and by your recent energy and aura, I think you two are on an upwards trajectory fingers crossed.

I have some really happy news to report too. Cool uncle in the house! First time and I’m so excited to hold my nephew! After what my bro went through, to see him with his little lad healthy and thriving has made me want to explode with joy. It’s made both B and I so broody, I think cousins around the same age would be amazing! She has such a natural ability,  I know she’s going to be an awesome mum!

B is B. She powers on, the situation surrounding her doesn’t seem to be affecting her but I’m looking out for the subtlest hint and ready to support her in anyway. If the Indian strain postpones our efforts, doesn’t bother me much ahaha – as long as we tie the knot. Her parents have given us their approval to have a smaller one and civil with 30 guests. Then do all the other events and larger reception for family when possible. This green lights everything, I think they realise we both have the itch ahaha. B certainly has found it more difficult since that incident. I kind of like that the tables have turned but it certainly turns me on even more 🤣

The jibes are still there, even though I have made it so that she is blissfully unaware, just knowing I am her priority has been enough to not let me get overwhelmed. Progress?

Also my offer was accepted, I was quietly confident as the owners are after a quick sell. Just waiting on the survey and hoping that doesn’t throw any spanners in the work. Should I gift it before the big day or on the wedding night? Any suggestions @Jay2023 @Sammy1? Male vs. Female perspective please!
