Before he went away, what was going on in your life?

[SimpleLove12]

Well at the time we were still jst good friends...He was going through his trial and had somebody and I was engaged..During that time we hardly ever talked...He was different Adams his mind was real messed up over the case...It was a dark time

We were still feeling each other out...in that phase...LOL We knew we liked each other, but with him living in LA and me in SD neither of us could see how it would work. He came down and spent Thanksgiving with me and the fam, and I went to LA with him the next day. He was sick as a dog, and I caught it from him since we couldnt keep our hands (or lips) off of each other.

I still remember the day he got arrested...certainly not a blur. I was home sick from work, and he called to check on me. We talked a while about our plans to move to Vegas, and I asked about his warrant. Told him he should turn himself in and he refused. He had a rough day that day, and later said he just KNEW he was going to get arrested. He felt it coming... I text him that night he was at work, texted him when he got off, he responded. I sent one last reply and fell asleep....he never replied. He'd been arrested. 2:45am...on his way home from work

This is a blessing in disguise. We talked about Vegas, marrying, and starting a family. No way I could deal with all that alone. He now has that monkey off his back and we can both move forward. He can pursue his music career and not have to worry that as soon as he makes it big, they'll pick him up.

We were living together raising our then 1 year old son who is now 4. & life was full of l.o.v.e.

We were together a year and 3 months. We had been living together 6 months. I had seen the signs I knew I should have waited. I was ready to leave him, truth be told this was probably the best thing for him. The best thing for us, because I was thisclose to leaving the weekend before this all happened.

He knows it now but then he was oblivious. Alcohol for some people is just bad news... and it was for him, it's taken away everything he loves for the next year and 8 months.

We just had our second son, who was three months to the day on the day he was sentenced and sent away. We had our first visitation on his 30th birthday two days later, I bought our boys and then seen him one more time another week later...that was the last time we seen each other before I moved and he was sent to another facility.

The weeks prior we were preparing to buy a house and had begun "house hunting." On a Monday night we had an argument and I hung up the phone on him. Hours later he was gone. The next four days I spent worrying myself crazy, until he did everything he could until he got in contact with me. I had recently changed my cell number and he couldn't remember it.
