We have the thread "In three years time" by Nicearms.
So I am wondering where people were three years ago? And hopefully bring some smiles from happy memories. |

This time 3 years ago I'd just graduated uni and just got married, I was still renting a crappy 1 bed flat, and I was looking for my first "proper" job in the field I trained for.
Now I'm working in a completely different field living in a house I really like. How quickly things change!  |

Just started at a new department in work. I was mid way through a poly relationship which was going well at that point.
The new department is great, but the couple have gone.  |

"I can bet there weren’t many people who when asked back then what will you be doing in 3 year time got the answer correct as locked down by a global pandemic "
Too true, what would have been the odds at William Hill for that? |

"My dad was dying and I joined FAB. Anyone would think I'd been looking for a distraction or sommat..."
Sorry to hear that x, I think people are drawn here for all reasons. Mine is definitely the distraction, but no where near your loss. Take care flower x |

I was in a relationship with a guy who was really bad for me and living in a house I hated. But my mum was alive. I spent a lot of august seeing my mum as it meant an escape for me, but I don’t regret that relationship because it made me closer to my mum than ever and she passed away suddenly in the September. |

3 years ago I had a 7 month old little boy, we lived at my mums house and I was on maternity leave struggling with the loneliness of being a single mum.
Now my son is almost 4, I'm back at work part time, we have a lovely little house and last year we welcomed our much loved rescue dog! |

Oh let's see. In an unhappy sexless marriage living in a town away from all my family and friends. Mum was terminally ill with cancer and I was waiting on preventative surgery for the same genetic problem. I was overweight, unfit and in a very poor place mentally.
Makes you stop and think how far you've come and the hurdles you've gotten over. Not there yet but I'm a hell of a lot happier than I was then.
My point being, you never know the changes time will bring to your life as long as you keep on fighting and dont give up  |

3 years ago I had started a new jewellery design biz, which felt great to get back to using my creativity again. Then my dad, whom I hadn't seen for 9 years, fatally shot himself in July. So I had to plan arrangements to settle his affairs. It would be the first time traveling back to the US since we moved here in 2006. A sad time, obviously, but I did reconnect with a dear friend and started spending more time with friends from then on. Our time here is so precious and short, we and have to make the most of it! Otherwise, what's the point?
Sending loving vibes to you all. Xx |

Wouldn't be fair for me not to share my three year ago story... Was married, although more like sister and brother. Had the house, the car, the family.. That all changed, jumped from one relationship to an other trying to fill the gap. Never healed just focused on others. Now I am taking time out, using Fab as a distraction, but so scared to get close to anyone. Will take time I guess, but I know where I don't want to be. |

My dad was terminally ill and had a downturn, so lots if time spent visiting hospital.
My relationship was in trouble too, he was away a lot and, as I subsequently found out, was addicted to cheating, even in an open relationship. |

"Staff job and miserable.
Now work for myself and love it
Sounds like you are living the dream, glad to hear it. "
I think living the dream is pushing it but my level of happiness is night and day |

I was in an abusive relationship and thought I deserved it. Hadn't had sex in 2 years and thought I'd never do so again because the last time had been entirely not my choice.
Working 18 hour days with the abusive man and seriously considering throwing myself off the harbour wall when the tide was out approximately once an hour.

Thankyou, I have largely come to terms with the loss of my Dad and the end of the relationship, whilst very messy, was minor compared to that xx |

"3 years ago ... I was 7 and a half stone heavier. Mrs B.  "
Being comfortable in your own skin is an amazing feeling. Although I am sure you were amazing in Mrs B's eyes regardless. Take care. |
