No, you dont need to justify it, you made some very clear and long overdue observations! Of course everyone posts with their own experience, but I for one, try very hard to read each persons individual sitch and try and put myself in their shoes, see what they are stuck with and try and offer a solution, that may work for them, rather than just state with some authority what I think their ex is thinking/feeling! And lets face it, none of us know that, not even the WAS probably know how they think/feel !
Your comments were very welcome and a good reminder we are here to help one another, not hinder!
And as for the above.. is that an ad you are thinking of placing? Good for you, you have grown so much through your pain of this S from your W, who I know you would rather win back, had you the choice, but you are also a great catch for some lucky lady!
