You're not old, you're older.... were the same age abouts...

Good job on bailing quick.

The difference is you're happily married. I'm struggling to find someone.

Well, I meant what I said on the bailing quick... that's bigger than you are allowing yourself credit for.... knowing when a situation isn't good and taking action, as opposed to just being passive and staying cause you're lonely or whatever.

Good stuff.

Thanks Chow. I was proud of myself for that. In the past, scarcity mentality (there isn't anyone else out there for me) would have kept me there and miserable, like a lot of men. So I will give myself credit for that. Better to be alone than with the wrong woman. Funny that I can say that now.

I've dodged many bullets before they were even fired, I never even let it get close to marriage before I bobbed and weaved.

I actually was married to someone like that. Almost remarried but the new one started drinking heavily and cheating, no thanks, I'm better off solo.
