I dated my ex wife for 4 years before proposing and getting hitched. Thought to myself, I did things right and certainly she was the one. Boy was I wrong. Had a couple boys with her and then she left me when the oldest was 4, the day after Xmas.
We reconciled several months after, went to marriage counseling, and later that next year….day after Xmas…she left me again.
I should had seen it coming. I was blind by love. She took absolutely EVERYTHING. All debt was kicked into my name, cleared the entire home first week of January while I was at work.
Now though, I may not be in the best of mental shape, I did however meet the most awesome woman ever. I ask a lot out of life and at least my new woman met all my years of hope and wishing. She is amazing. I’m sure you’ll find a better woman too.
Just place yourself out there, fish around, you’ll get a bite and likely reel in a trophy! The old one will be a dusty memory.
