This pandemic is an exercise in tolerance and understanding. Not trying to change someone’s view which is not possible but explaining how you feel and are affected. Especially hard to keep strong feelings in check when your loved ones are involved. I find I took it for granted that friends and family would feel as I do about getting vaccines so was surprised that some did not. Not many thank goodness.
Your new apartment looks lovely. What a great way to familiarise yourself with the city. Trying different neighbourhoods on for size. Take care.
I met my partner on Match. Funny enough, we had initially met 11 years ago on eHarmony, and neither of us realized this until our “second” first date, 10 years after we parted ways for no particular reason. Long story short, after initially dating, we both ended up in long-term relationships. He got married and became a father. Both of our partners would become emotionally abusive and financially controlling. He separated from his wife, and I left my abuser. We both moved to the same small Ottawa Valley town, and our paths crossed again. He and the kids have been living with me for nearly one year now and I feel genuinely contented in my personal life, chaotic family life and all. Dating apps do suck on so many levels, but sometimes they really don’t!
