Saturday will be 5 years since the man and I have been together. I am not holding my breath expecting anything spectacular. He is terrible about remembering occasions, buying gifts, etc. I am going to be super upset if he doesn't do anything special for me/us. I have already reminded him of the date a couple of weeks ago..I don't think I should have to remind him again. A proposal is no where in sight. He was married before and I dont know if he is taking extra precautions because of that reason or if his excuse of wanting to be financially stable first is actually valid. We don't live together as of now. We did but when he was laid off, we both moved back in with our parents. Lame but what else could we do? We hope to be back living together by February. A custody battle will ensue shortly...first court date for him and ex-bitchface is set for December 14th. He is looking to gain primary custody as his daughters mother is selfish and incapable of properly mothering their child(both financially as well as emotionally). Sad state of affairs. I am just tired of being on the back burner! This weekend will definitely prove my worth in the eyes of my boyfriend! Lets hope he doesn't completely let me down.
