Just to get you started….Married my high school sweetheart after 5 years, married for almost 14 years. As most can I look back and see the mistakes we both made over the years. In the end it was the cheating that broke the camels back. We split one time when I began talking with a friend. I called it “emotionally cheating” (talking, flirting, just heart to heart emotions – nothing physical here at all- not that that makes it any better I admit) – saw that I wasn’t being treated like I really should be and I began to assert myself. Split for a few months, got counseling – both of us and got back together – appeared to be going good. Year or so later, find out he’s cheating now – not just emotionally but physically. He broke it off, we went to counseling. Seemed to be on the right track. Nope – found out again and again – when divorce finally went through found out it had been off and on for 2 1/2 years! Couldn’t believe it.
I had a lot of image problems before and after that and spent about a year in counseling. That helped so much and gave me some of my life and my confidence back.
Summer of 2006 met and fell in love with GG (GreatGuy) – I truly believe I have found my soul mate. He and I are so much alike yet different but carry that true soul connection. Love one another unconditionally and each have learned a lot from our first marriages. Not perfect of course but oh so wonderful.
