5 years ago today.

not yet

I sat in a bar in Phibsborough waiting on a blind date. In she walked and BOOOOM.... I was smitten, Now I've been round the block, married, divorced etc had plenty of ''fun'' in the meantime. But I met an incredible, wonderful woman whom I fell in love with and married 18 months ago. I guess I'm just on here letting people know that there is a person out there for everyone.

Care to share any dates that turned into something wonderful, or where how you met. I do accept this is AH and the p1ss will be ripped out of me, so keep it short.

Yeah, but married in 1990 and was 25, so it's a different kind of love.

I've dodged a few bullets and I'm single and happy out. I got a handjob in a tent this time last year if that does anything for you OP.

Nice story bro, congrats..

One close call myself with the whole marriage thing, thank fock it didn't happen in the end, disaster for all concerned. Come to think of it I'll probably never get married.

I've seen so many end in divorce, My brother only split two months ago, two young kids involved, I really don't think society in general care or understand the sh1t involved in break ups.

Ah no, fair play. I just miss how easy it was not being single!

Nice one OP. Always good when someone out of a long-term relationship and their heart broken finds love again.

This time yesterday, I brought my daughter to her swimming lessons.
Does that count?

5 years ago I was told I was going to be dead in 5 years if I didn't change.
I am now happier than I have been since my teens.

Oh I like how this thread has gone -

Lets see, five years ago
I was in a relationship that I was happy to be in, working a job I hated, was aimlessly going through life with absolutely zero long term goals or even drive to better myself, was probably drinking WAY too much and not really looking after myself in general--

Now - Basically the opposite of all of that!
Single, but generally happy I guess (hangovers worn off now)
In a job I like, with a wealth of experience from a previous job (after the one I hated), have a large circle of friends or several circles of friends, have a goal in mind and am well on the way to achieving it, look after myself well and am fit and healthy.

Deadly.

I'm looking up repisee and I got nada?

Reprise?

Could you rephrase the question?

I'll assume you mean, what was the reason for my turnaround in the thread? Spiritual's post about five years ago being told they would be dead in five years and how much that's changed now

You mean there is the possibility I have created a new word (are words created),

but I do understand your reasons.:)

On a hangover day, I can be an emotional rollercoaster - bitter and grumpy, or Alec Baldwin when he guest starred in Friends.
Right now I'm the latter. Life is good. And relatively speaking life is great when you consider how bad it could be.
