Wow. I have a boyfriend. It really is a funny old world, isn't it? What's even stranger to me is that I'm very happy with this situation. A few months ago I expected to remain single with the odd uncomplicated fling every now and then. I didn't think I'd get involved with anybody for a long time. It's a nice feeling, having someone. It's going to be different this time though. I'm making a conscious effort to maintain my own life and keep seeing my friends. I need that. I cannot smother or be smothered, not this time. I will not sacrifice so much again. I did it by choice last time - devoted all my time to just one person - and regretted it badly. Now I know better and I won't be doing that again!
