I can imagine the age difference caused confusion, especiaslly as you were so young. First time around, I married the first guy I had dated more than a handful of times. Aged 17, it was a huge mistake, but it took me 10 years to work out! My second husband was the love of my life, and I was able to recognise that because of my first marriage! I am so enjoying your story, and look forward to reading on.

I glad you are continuing to enjoy my story. At eighteen, I was very immature but he seemed to think I was mature for my age. I had some growing up to do.

Good thing your decision in deciding on a career was not right away. It sounds like you had some involvement but really didn't know where your life was heading yet for sure.

How had no idea where my life was heading. I just went with the flow. I'm enjoying your comments.

Another nice letter to your late husband. I would be angry too if my mother had sent a letter to my boyfriend telling him to stay away. Having said that I wanted a couple of my daughter's previous boyfriends to stay away as they were of a negative influence-so on that I can understand. But this man sounds nice.

My children couldn't believe she did that to me. They would have thrown a fit, If I read their private mail too. But I know how you feel about seeing your kids make the wrong decisions. Thanks for the review and comments.

It was terrible for your mother to have interfered in your love life. However it might have been just what your relationship needed. It sounds like you had fun after that and you sent me back in time with the mention of the music. Well done Beth. Nancy:)

Thank you Nancy. I appreciate your review and comments. My kids can't believe my mother did that to me.

Hi Beth. I think your relationship with your husband has the kind of charm that is long gone from our world today. Heck men and women are babies out there having sex and getting into stuff that isn't healthy and all at such a young age. I love your story. Good luck. xoxo Kiwi

Thank you so much for your review and nice comments. I wish you could have seen fit to give me five stars since you didn't mention any ways I could have improved it. I never give anyone less than five unless the story is poorly written or full of errors. This makes me lose the six stars the next reader gave me. If you feel you can't I understand.

An accident I assure you

Thanks, Good to know.

Comment from Spitfire
Today, we might have been considered stalkers. LOL. That would have been me too. I would get to school early and walk the halls looking for my latest crush (who showed no interest in me and his friends teased him whenever I walked by.)
What a great story about your mom's interference. That would make for a short stage play. You do well to tell us your emotions and how they changed.
More humor with the ankle bracelet.
I didn't know if I was in love or not-- I can connect with that too. I felt more like a deep friendship.

I do really appreciate this and I can't believe you gave me three of your six star reviews. Thank you ever so much.

This was such a good read. I am glad I have now caught up. I guess I missed your return to FS initially. I am glad to have another prose person to review. Not enough of us. You know I always liked your writing.

I'm glad you enjoyed this story. I think the other chapters are still active and should be paying. The prologue isn't as long and is a bit sad. My husband passed away two years ago. We had been married a long time. I'm remember when I first met him starting with the first chapter.

Hi Beth. I enjoyed reading this chapter of your biography. Well written and described. I only found one error here: "You weren't a big talker, and I was on the quite(quiet) side as well, so"
I see you live in TN. I lived in that state for nearly 10 years. A beautiful place. Marilyn

Thank you Marilyn, I'm so glad you enjoyed my story. I just fixed the error. Someone else pointed it out as well. I'm from Mississippi and lived in New Orleans 17 years but Tennessee is my favorite place. I've been here thirty years (Chattanooga area)

For me-- Johnson City.

Still love this story.
Without my knowledge, she sent you a letter in which she told you she thought I was confused and needed some time to sort out my feelings She asked you to stay away for a while. (Imagine how well that would go over in today's world. LOL)
You weren't a big talker, and I was on the quite side as well, (quiet side)

Thank you so much for another review. My kids were horrified that my mother did that. It didn't go over too well for me when I found out she was behind it. Thanks for finding the misspelling.
Comment from Mistydawn
It seems that your romance is going very well, despite your mother's intrusion. I'm sure she meant well, only looking out for your best interests. You two are getting to know each other, seem to enjoy spending time together, really connecting. By the sounds of it, he already has feelings for you. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. Your chapter is well-written, very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
