continuation: I was married twice, the first time to a man who had plenty of money, top job etc. but he was a bully and had NO heart! My second husband had a lot less money, a good heart but sadly no backbone! Now I am with a man who has a true heart of gold! My present partner left school at 16 and after several respectable but low paid jobs, he formed his own company which he ran successfully for 13 years. Unfortunately with the break-up of his marriage came the loss of his company. So, when I met him he was working as a taxi driver with very little money coming in. I was used to city types, he was a countryman. He had a burgeoning interest in art and so on the first day we met I introduced him to a wonderful sculpture garden where there are over 360 sculptures from international artists. This seems to have sparked a flame within him. We had such a lovely day together. I felt so at ease with him, even though looks wise he was a far rougher type than I was used to. Since that day about 20 months ago we have built up the most wonderful relationship, based on a deep sense of love and respect for each other. We�ve shared our home for 14 months and to this day have never been cross with each other, despite occasional differing opinions. We are both very easy-going and respectful of each other's past experiences and we both really appreciate what we have found in each other. Today my RATTER is a recognised and respected metal artist, as well as a professional carer and I am so very proud of him. But do I see a class divide in our relationship? No, I am like my parents ... I do not look at what a person has other than what is in his / her heart and mind. A fairytale story? Perhaps, in a grown up sort of way.
