Wow...... there's so much in these posts from everyone that I can identify with so much. I've been feeling like I should
have left my girlfriend/wife for the last over 40 years. I knew we weren't right for each other but opposites attract
very strongly. This has led to a roller coaster ride over my whole life. The reasons I didn't want to leave are numerous.
We both have made terrible mistakes over the years. Sometimes you just stay out of guilt. You feel you owe your
partner something. I made the tough decision once , and all I wound up doing was crawl back. The basic problems
are still there. Most people do not want to admit their faults. In the end we're all looking for that " perfect "partner.
No such animal exists.
