Good for you Kat! I hope you find the strength to remain happy and strong!
I've had discussions with my 22 year old daughter (which is difficult to do since I am so unhappy, but I try to stay neutral so hse wo't be jaded, although she is not close to her father since he has not been around in her life much (the same man I married 26 years ago and I'm still married to) nor were they ever close so it's tough to try to make him out to be a nice guy, but I do try. She and I are super close - always have been always will be. She's a super young lady. She is everything I was not and I hope she will be stronger than I will ever be!

I don't regret being married to my exhusband, because I have two wonderful kids. If he wasn't their father, they wouldn't be who they are. He's simply the sperm donor.

I don't regret having my exSO in my life and living with him for 6 years. I loved him. Although the feeling wasn't mutual, there isn't anything wrong or regretful about loving someone. So I don't.

Well...it's more than that. It's because I thought that when you have a soulmate, everyone sees it and agrees, that it's just all easy and butterflies, magic and fairy dust, and that you know WHY you love the person and it didn't work out that way and it hurt pretty bad (conditioned ego ****). So I had all these built up expectations on what love is or suppose to be and life was slowly taking me on a different path, giving me not what I expected but what I needed. At the end of the day, we realized we're together because we want to be together and that being with the other makes us incredibly happy and it's just as simple as that.

Didn't know that then. Certainly know that now.

I have no regrets. Each relationship Ive been in was a great learning experience, although painful at the end, it made me the man I am today. I enjoyed every relationship I partook in.

Moving cross-country. Everything changed for me. I became completely isolated from my family and lost my career.

If I could go back and do it all over, I would never have agreed to move. Period. If my DH had left me over that, then that's what it would have been.

I regret this every day.

My relationships before my marriage taught me things also. For that I am grateful also.
I consider myself lucky. I'm mostly unscaved. Never got married, had kids. Never spent many years figuring it out. I figured out what I would and would put up with early and quickly.

Most importantly I found myself, became completely comfortable with myself and being single and managed to 100% establish myself in a way which makes me self sufficient and capable of not need anyone but myself. Relationships with men are just an added bonus at this point in my life. Something I can take or leave, enjoy and let go of when the time is right.

I wish I was in my 30's. You can do this! Break away! Don't wait! Do it now if you can. YOu can easily go back to school and support yourself! Good luck!

I met a BEAUTIFUL redhead online 4 years ago who was willing to pick up & leave the west coast & come to me. This was soon after my divorce. She was SO easy to get along with & made me laugh I could of avoided all this heartbreak that I've been going though. Never was very good at seeing what was right in front of me.

Wish I could find her again I've tried for a while & got nothing.

My biggest regret is being in the relationship in the first place.
