yeah, quite happily so
to my surprise. I expected him to have tired of me by now and I am delighted that this is not the case.

So do I need to buy a new hat?
I seem to remember it was me telling you to go for it.

you know what?
I used to be quite horrified by the idea of marriage and weddings and all that stuff. But I'd say yes if he asked. I really, really like this one.

Also, it's worth remembering that the first marriage doesn't count.

Don't be horrible
it's rare that I get this attached and mushy, so don't spoil it for me. I can honestly say this is the first relationship I've been in where I genuinely wanted to spend and could see myself spending the rest of my life with them. You know, kids and mortgage and all that crap.
Of course, I haven't told him this and it'll probably never happen. But here's hoping, eh?

:D
then genuinely I wish you good luck. And you probably should tell him one day, he might feel the same way

Oww, bless.
Do you think TB feels the same?

he says some very sweet things
not often, but occasionally. And he does sometimes joke that I need to get a better job so we can buy a house with a massive garage for all the classic cars we want.. ditto joking about getting a dog. I dunno. I don't want to get all serious on him and scare him off, he says he loves me and I'm happy with that for now.

The 'L' word is a big step.
Of course, if he really loved you, he'd get a really really good job, so you could either give up work altogether, or you could just keep doing a job you like.

academia and children do not mix well
sooner or later I will probably end up in the nhs anyway. the pay is still pants but at least there are more prospects.

You might have got your PhD by then!

meh, unlikely
masters, maybe. And post-doc roles and children go even less well together than the job I'm in now. Especially since I'd be 30or more by the time I finished my phd, then i'd need to have at least one job before kids or risk ruining my career before it's even begun. so that's mid-30s at least. leaving it awfully late, I can't deal with lack of sleep now, I'd be hopeless when I was old.

Cos' sure as shit I ain't doing it again.
