I have everything I want in ONE man.

Ok, well not everything, he's not perfect, but he loves me like I've always wanted to be loved, and I don't ever want to hurt him. For me not to want to hurt someone, must be love.

He's so good with my kids, so supportive of me, but yet tells me when I'm wrong, not a COMPLETE pushover, but goes the extra mile to make sure me and my kids are happy.

He's flat broke too. Which I LOVE. Cuz I don't NEED to rely on him financially.

He helps me out so much with getting my kids to and from daycare, t-ball, all that stuff. It's like a total team effort. And my life is so nutts, I can't believe ANYONE wants to be involved in it at their own will.

He's totally hot too.

Generally speaking, men are rarely interested in going out of their way for anything, unless there's something in it for them (...aside from LOVE).

I understand you are in love (and thus vulnerable), and I realize love is blind. But as an outsider looking in (who happens to have had several years experience working in Forensic Mental Health facilities), I see red-flags throughout your comment. Please proceed with caution (...I'd advise you to NOT leave your kids alone with this guy - to take them to daycare, t-ball, or anything else).

I've seen this M.O. many, many times before. Just a word to the wise. I'm sure you love your children dearly.

congrats!! love is a many splendored thing...

And 'wicked smart' are you from Boston?

omg, I'M puking rainbows and puppies and kittens.

And I love it.

And I think I picked "wicked smart" up from my boss.

This makes me happy on many levels, Carrie. I remember reading a post from you where you had pretty much said you gave up on finding Mr. Right and you were coming to terms with that. I felt very sad when I read it and always hoped that something would turn around for you. I'm so glad that it did! One must never give up on love, we all deserve it.

What does M.O. stand for?

I appreciate your advice, thank you. Love is blind, and I'm the WORST when it comes to looking thru rose colored googles.

That being said, I'm not as trusting as I was 2 years ago. In fact I'm not trusting at all, and to me everyone is (men) a liar a cheat and a user until proven otherwise. No one has proven this to me yet, and I dunno if any man ever will gain my complete trust again. So I am very careful.

Thanks again.

Your general happiness, and it started after the CarrieMpls has a date thread.

I also remember someone on here saying that you don't seem like you'd fall for just the average man, and I agree, so you're someone must be pretty special. And he's pretty damn lucky too.

Thanks, lady. He IS really damn special. He’s wicked smart and he makes me laugh and he has a strong sense of ethics and he’s sooooooooooo thoughtful and very sweet to me and just generally makes me feel like the most gorgeous girl in the world (not an easy task!). He tells me over and over how lucky he is, but really I think I’m the lucky one.

I haven't met this guy, so I don't know how lucky you are, but I know that HE won the girl lottery.

I'm so happy for you.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish you both eternal happiness!!!!!!!!!
