Same.

I met my husband on a blind date. Most young people don’t know what a blind date is, they think it is a programme on the telly, so I have to explain to them what it is. Within 8 months we were married, we are still married now with two beautiful children Daniel and Meghan.

A few years ago, I met a really lovely lady, she was single, never married, a professional with a very good job and owned her own house. I would guess she was in her 40’s. She was VERY shy; she is a woman of very few words.

A few years ago, I met a really lovely man, he was single, never married, a professional with a very good job and owned his own house. I would guess he was in his 40’s. He was VERY shy; he is a man of very few words.

In this life both would never meet, but I knew both of them, very well.

I had a brilliant idea one day, then I dismissed it, but the thought wouldn’t go away. So, one day I plucked up the courage to ask him, “If he would like to go out with her?”

In his sweet shy way, he said, “No.” I didn’t expect him to say that, what I wanted to do first, before asking him, was to ask her, if she was interested, but I thought, what would happen if he said no? Surely that would crush her, so I removed that thought from my mind!

This way, only one person knew, and that was myself and him.

When I see him and say, “Hi,” I wonder if he regrets not meeting her? Does he kick himself, for his shyness? Sometimes we try to ‘fix’ other people.

On reflection, divorce is high! Maybe it would not have work? Maybe they are too set in their ways?

Maybe I saved them from getting a divorce? x
