About 6 months ago I started dating a non-witness. Our relationship has grown quite quickly and a few weeks ago I proposed to her. We are now in the midst of wedding and house-buying plans. I was reading through some of my initial posts from two years ago (man has it already been that long?) and was thinking wow, how much have I "progressed" out of the JWs. I can say I'm probably the happiest right now that I've ever been in my life, and I can't be more thankful for this forum which has provided me so much support throughout my journey.
I'm getting married!

Congrats!
DJK, I think it really depends on the individuals whether it's successful or not. Time does show up all the warts, though.

Mrs. Fiorini
Congratulations! I remember when Mr. Fiorini proposed, one of the best days of my life. I hope you two have all the happiness and joy that we have.
One of the positive things I took from my WT experience was from a circuit overseer who used to say in his talks that a good marriage is the union of two good forgivers. I have found this to be true, especially when it comes to the little irritations that can come up when two people share a home.
This is unsolicited advice, so take it for what it's worth. But I do try to find the good from my WT past, especially since there was so much bad.
Best wishes to you both!
