Wow, obviously the radio 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: station will not be correct. Then, uh, Steve. After twenty 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: five years, I finally met the man of my dream 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: and he's going to ask me to marry him. He's 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: been honest with me since we started dating and told 11 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 1: me that he has been married before and has a 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: three year old daughter with his ex wife. He is 13 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,400 Speaker 1: thirty two, by the way. As soon as he told 14 00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: me this, at first, I was shocked cried a bit. 15 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: Then I turned around and told him that I would 16 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: stand by his side no matter what and we can 17 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: deal with this together. He also got very hurt through 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,760 Speaker 1: all of this, and that's when I've decided I'm not 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: here to make his life any harder. I want to 20 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: make it better. Our problem is that whenever I think 21 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: about my wedding day, I keep thinking he's been through 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 1: this before, and I want it to be as special 23 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: to him as it will be to me. He tells 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: me every day how much he loves me, he wants 25 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: to provide for me, he wants to protect me, and 26 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: he has assured me uh that there is absolutely no 27 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: comparison between me and his ex. His family never liked her, 28 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 1: they never approved of her, and they absolutely love me. 29 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: And my paranoia. I asked him that if there is 30 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: anything in his house left of hers, even if it's 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: just a candle, that she thought, he must please get 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: rid of it. He went and did it the same day. 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: Our love is so strong for each other and I 34 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: don't want to ruin it with my paranoia. I just 35 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: need to know that I am number one in his life, 36 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,279 Speaker 1: even though he has told me this a billion times. 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: Kind regards, Mad lind Ps, loved your book.
