🌼🍉 Brownies, books and planning a wedding - your favourite fiancés’ 2nd blog 🍉🌼

Hi everyone!

🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉

Welcome to our new blog!! :h:

In case you're new here, I (Nathan) started a thread two and a half years ago to ask for advice when I found out my crush was gay. I was 18, in my first year of uni, super shy, and not out to anyone. Thanks to the lovely people of tsr who convinced me to wave at him on Facebook, we ended up talking and got together! Whoop whoop! :biggrin:

We've had our struggles, my family was very homophobic at first, we both have mental health issues, we even broke up for a couple months, but lately things have been going super duper well -- we moved in together in January and got engaged a few weeks ago!

My fiancé, Alex, also made a tsr account (@nicalibres) and we started a blog together just over a year ago, to stay in touch with everyone who's helped us and supported us, it's a lovely lil community :h:

🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉🌼🍉

Time to introduce ourselves!

Hi, I'm Nathan, 21 years old. I'm from Cumbria but moved to the south of England to study English at uni. I've just graduated (with a first!! :biggrin:

) and my plans are to work for a year and then do a masters. I'm really not sure what I want to do with my life, hopefully I'll figure it out somewhere along the way :tongue:

My family are pretty religious, but they eventually came around to me being gay and they're lovely and supportive now. I've got a twin sister who is dating my best friend from school, and then there's my mum, my dad, and our dog. In my spare time I like to play guitar, read, listen to music, pretty basic stuff really, and lately I've been really into wedding planning! I have anxiety so sometimes I can be a bit annoying, but most of the time I manage it pretty well :smile:

Alright, my turn? Hey, my name is Alex, I also go by @nicalibres on here. I'm 22 and originally from London. My past is a little bit tragic - grew up poor, dad left when I was 12, toxic first boyfriend, two years of drinking and sleeping around, yadda yadda. I've managed to sort myself out now... for the most part, that is. Like Nathan, I also study English at uni, that's how we met! Aforementioned tragic past has made me mentally ill, so I've had to take a year out. I'm on meds and in therapy now - ready to start third year again in October. My dream job is being a teacher. I also enjoy art, I draw and paint quite a lot. N and I have totally different personalities - he's quiet, I'm outgoing; he's organised, I'm messy; he's cute and innocent, people often call me dirty-minded... But I'm really quite sweet. I've got a baby brother, Luca, he's almost 1 now and totes adorbs. Like Nathan!

he sounds lovely. I had a dream about my ex and feel like I've been punched in the arm so it's a brilliant start to the day

Oof! I had a few dreams like that after my breakup - they're rough

He sounds so lovely! And omg how can anyone be that tall!! He's literally a whole entire foot taller than me :eek:

Having a taller bf is really nice, I would 10/10 recommend, it's perfect for hugs :biggrin:

Aww that's a nice date plan, Cambridge is such a cute city as well, and who knows what might happen during the movie... :tongue:

Ikr! He's nearly an entire head taller than me. I hope he likes being the big spoon :colondollar:

It should be a nice date. Who knows indeed, ngl, I'm hoping we get a little sidetracked during the movie and do something else together :tongue:

Alex told me that a lot of guys say 'watch a movie' when really they mean 'hook up' :tongue:

I wasn't aware of that when we had our first date so things were kept PG but hopefully this guy is less clueless than I am!

I'm actually excited, I treat all my appointments as work experiences now, I fainted in a theme park on a rollercoaster ( not my best day ) and peppered the poor ambulance paramedics with questions to the point where they had to shut me up with oxygen! I still reckon I didn't need it :biggrin:

I'm ok thanks. My arm is a bit better, it doesn't hurt when I move it now. I'm looking at an apprenticeship and cars so it's busy but I'm trying to focus on relaxing this weekend as I've been getting tension headaches and an achy back and stuff

Anyway, enough embarrassing Nathan (for now...) - how is everyone doing today? I'm at the library reading Plato so please do distract me!

Oooh Plato. I have to read about him for a level philosophy and he’s annoying I can’t even consider him at degree level. Sorry I’m lost though what degree are you doing?

I'm not a fan either, he's a bit self-absorbed lol. My degree is still English, I'm doing a module on utopias and dystopias and The Republic is on the key reading list... Love that for me!

Oh well the degree sounds fun but not necessarily Plato. The republic is terrible I hate the snippet we have to read of it so I don’t envy you reading the whole thing
