Hey everyone!

I haven't been around a lot recently - I miss you guys so much! I've had A LOT going on. The biggest thing that's had the most impact on me I'd say is that Chris and I have called off the wedding. I just really didn't have the time or energy to hang out on the board a lot while dealing with this, and I felt bad about it. I know I shouldn't, because there are so many awesome people around here that help each other out, but still I missed everyone so much!!! I admit I did come around and lurk sometimes - I loved reading the posts, especially the ones about bras, CB, new jobs, hostage cats, etc. LOL Oh yeah - and the one with all the cool pics!!

So, basically now I'm looking for an apartment and getting ready to move, but in between I'd like to update the recipe index, birthdays, and basically keep in touch more.

Anyway, I just wanted to give a little update, because I've gotten lots of emails asking what's up and where I'm at, and that basically sums it up.

I am so sorry to hear that, I hope everything turns out for the better for you.

Just hang in there, things will probably get crazier for you, but they will get better!

Can you believe it? I'm sitting here, crying. What a wuus I am. I hate it when I do that.

Sweetheart, I love your new old pic. It's like having you back home again. I've missed you very much. Every time I'd see the little puppy come running up to the monitor and bark at me, with an envelope in his mouth, I'd say to myself, "Self! It's an e-mail from Mags!" And I'd rapidly zoom into my e-mail program, only to be disappointed each and every time.

I knew you were going through a bad time, and I wanted to help you, but I didn't want to push myself on you or be a pest; I figured you'd talk to me when you were ready.

I won't ask what happened; all I'm gonna say is that I admire you very much for listening to your heart and acting accordingly. You've grown.

SOOOO glad to have you back. Please stay.

Your friend,
BBBB

Hey Mags,

Good to have you back, sorry to hear about the wedding, but I'm sure you know if you ever decide you want to talk about it you've got whole lots of support here.

Besides now you can get on with important things like discussing the merits of thongs

Mags!! I was just wondering what had happened to you. I'm so sorry to hear about you and Chris. That must be so difficult. I'm so glad to see you back on the boards, though... maybe now we can cheer you up! Please drop me an e-mail if you need anything, and take care of yourself!

Hi Mags,

I'm really sorry to hear about what has happened..

I too just ended a relationship that was incredibly important to me, and I feel like I lost someone that I really loved. I know its probably even worse being engaged and ending a relationship.

If you ever need to talk feel free to email me.. I can sympathize and probably feel the same way.

Hey there!
I don't know you too well and I don't think you know me too well either, but you have answered some of my past posts and been very helpful to me.
I think when I started coming to the site, at the end of April, was when you started coming here less. However, while you've been absent you've still been able to help me out tremendously and I just thought you should know that!
I've read and tried quite a few of your recipes, enjoyed your posts in the living room and vegas board (birthdays, fall sprawl, etc)
As well, when I've searched for something of interest to me, more often than not, it would be a post by you that would be incredibly helpful to me.
So, Mags, thanks for what you've done for me without even knowing. I REALLY look forward to getting to know you.
I am sorry to hear about your relationship, but as I'm sure you know, even though its difficult to accept, everything happens for a good reason - there are just bigger and better things out there for you.
Take care Mags and visit soon!

Mags,
Sorry to hear that you've been going through a rough time. I know it's very hard. I imagine it must be kinda like a divorce, and I DO know what that's like.

I don't know why the wedding was called off, but if either party is unhappy, or unsure, or whatever it is; then it's for the best to step out, step back, and think about it. It's better to do it now, than go through with something that one of you might not be fully committed to; because you sure have to have a very strong committment to make it work and you both have to WANT it.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with having second thoughts before the marriage, but it would be bad to go through with it knowing one of you were having doubts.

Afterall, you're going to be with each other for the rest of your lives and you don't want to start out without a strong attachment of desire and love. There's going to be rough spots in any marriage, and you sure don't want to start out on shaky ground.

If he called it off, then it's still the best thing for you. You really don't want to be with someone who has doubts about it. If you called it off, same thing goes. It wouldn't be fair to either one of you.

It's for the best for both parties, even if only one of you really wanted to cancel the wedding. So, whatever the circumstances, just remember, Mags, that it's for the best and if the two of you are mean't to be together it'll happen anyway, but if not; then you really don't want to be trapped either with someone who doesn't want you OR someone you don't want. It just wouldn't work out no matter how hard you tried. I've been there!!

I know it hurts and you miss the guy and the relationship, but with time; that will all heal and you'll be happy again and secure with what's happened.
Hang in there,
Terri

Life throws us some curly ones doesn't it?

All the best,

OMG - you guys are so cool! Thanks for all the replies, you don't know how much it means to me. Things have been kinda hairy at home. I'm still trying to find a place to live, but everything is either nothing available yet, too much, doesn't allow pets (my dog is going with me no matter what!!!), etc.

Actually, it was my decision to end it. Although I love Chris, I don't feel in love with him and I don't feel we should be married. I think I felt like I should be with him, since he's the best guy I've ever been with and treated me great. We were civil - he even agreed he didn't want me to get married feeling that way - but the past week, he's been acting funky. I just want to get out so bad. He's barely speaking to me now and it feels so awkward in my "home".

Anyway, he's been really creepy with the computer too. So, I haven't been getting online at home. I've been checking my email from work. When I was still getting online at home, I went into my email and some were marked read! I think he's snooping through my stuff - not that he's going to find anything, but I still don't appreciate it. I'm super sneaking at work right now to log on here and praying the "cyber police" around here don't bust me, but I was just dying to say thanks for all your kind words and let you know what's going on. Especially since I said I'd be back then disappeared again. I did get a laptop last night - now I just got to get internet on it. I may be going to stay with my dad soon if I don't find my own place. Which I don't mind anyway, because he's got a nice, big inground pool!

Oh yeah - and to top all this off, last night I got into an accident! Nothing major - it was raining and I went to stop at a stop sign. There was a car in front of me and I tapped the rear of her car. No damage, just my plate got a little bent. Well, the cops said no one was at fault, no tickets were issued, and no damage to the cars. As a matter of fact, the cops were actually really cool! This was a first for me. I was terrified of course, because this is the first accident I've ever had. The one cop just kept telling me that's why they call them accidents, relax, calm down, etc. He even pointed to his car and said he'd done the same thing in his car, so don't worry about it. But, of course I had to tap someone's car that complained her back was injured and got taken off in an ambulance. Great. Now, I got to find out what's going to happen with this. This is like the cherry on top.

Or maybe the fact that I just found out my raise didn't get approved, and I probably won't get it till Dec/Jan now could be my cherry.

OK - enough whining and crying from me. But gosh, that felt good to get out!!! Thanks again everyone. I will try to check back in ASAP. Maybe I'll be a rebel and sneak back in from work again! lol

I really do miss you all and wish I was around more. *sigh*

That stinks Mags! I do know how hard apartment hunting in south jersey is, not sure if things are much better around your way. Good luck- you'll find a place soon. Good to know that you are holding things together okay- but I hope you do get outta there, it has to be really awkward.
(P.S.- if he is starting to act REALLY weird, pack your bags and get outta there ASAP!It's better to be cautious in these kinda situations)

Hey Mags... sorry things are rough right now. You were really wise and brave to call it quits before the wedding though. Rather than just go along with things and regret it and have to deal with divorce or other things later.

I hope you find an apartment soon and that things look up for you!

Mags,

I agree, very brave of you to call it off. I felt I didn't want to marry my first husband but I didn't have the courage to not go through with the wedding. The marriage didn't even last 3 years. I knew it wasn't right from the begining. You have to go with your gut feeling.

Good luck finding an apt. The right one will come along. At least you can stay with your Dad until you find the right place. So sorry to hear about your accident. I am glad that it wasn't worse.

Hang in there.

Hi Mags,

Sorry to hear that you're going through a rough time right now. I really admire your courage in following your heart and doing what you felt was right for you...that takes a lot of guts. I'm sure you'll be happier in the long run.

And about your accident, I'm so glad it wasn't more serious and that you're ok I totally understand what you mean about freaking out...I'm completely intimidated by the police, I haven't had my licence very long but was pulled over a few months ago for having expired plates (oops) and was so shaken I ended up crying like a little girl while he issued the ticket

So I'm really glad the police were nice to you.

Hang in there sweetie, I hope that we'll be seeing more of you around the boards soon.

Maggie May,

I am glad to have found you on here. I haven't been on here in so long, but wanted to see how you were making out. I am so glad that you and CG were able to end things civil. It will be funky because it's strange to live with someone in a different relationship.

Take care hon, and if you need a place to stay until you get on your feet, feel free to slide on up to Canada, I would be happy to house you!!! LOL
