Thanks you guys. I really appreciate your supportive words and stories. You’re right. I made the decisions I did given the current circumstances and my thoughts and feelings at the time. I too have been taught the lesson of learning to trust my gut. I will listen to my gut more. That’s the lesson. And to be careful when I’m in a vulnerable state. Another lesson. I have to look at this as a lesson.... and yes at least I didn’t marry him. He would have ruined my life! I know I’m a different person now than I was two years ago. Thank god I didn’t meet yet another jerk the next go around. Thank you all again so much! You’ve really helped.
