Years ago my parents told me that I was being "too picky" and unrealistic when a successful older man in our area was "dead set" on marrying me...My feelings told me NOT to marry him even though he could be a really nice guy most of the time...I just wasn't "in love" with him...In the end I "gave in" and married him anyway and it was the worst mistake I've ever made in my life...The marriage didn't even last a year....He was just interested in "winning" and after he "won me" the "game" was over....He wasn't interested in everyday family life....He went on to new pursuits...My feelings tried to warn me not to marry him but no one took my feelings seriously and I didn't either at the end and went ahead and married him anyway...Today I listen to my feelings and honor them...
