But the last two, almost two and a half, years have beaten into my head the truth that that woman is no more, if she ever existed at all. Perhaps she was a fabrication all along.
I could have written that post! I wonder though, I mean I think my X had horrible parents; self-centered, alcoholic mom, etc. But I think some of who you are as a person is who you associate with and what kind of actions you do. When X was married to me, I wonder if I helped him become kind of a better person, better character, he was a Sunday School teacher, etc. The last couple years he hangs out with immoral types of people and his actions are well, you know. I think hanging out with OW and his self-centered friends have been a bad influence on him. But that's what he chooses to do/be, so I just pray for him.
Anyway in my convoluted way, I was trying to say that maybe she was a better woman when she was married to you because of you.
