Well, EX was my first steady BF and we dated for 8 years and everyone of our friends were getting married and it was either break up or get married. Parents love him, came from good family, nice guy, didn't drink or smoke, Catholic, wanted a family, and I fell in love with him. I don't want anyone's ok to date OM. Actually, I am D and can date anyone I want. But I still love my ex-h and realize that the "perfect" marriage does not exist. There is give and take, good and bad and alot of compromise. I am working on giving up OM, I have been attending an affairs group. I guess in a marriage there is always one person who gives more and that person was me and will continue to be me. Its the right thing to do, do go back to ex, he is the father of my daughter. Started reading Db book again so I guess my baby steps are smaller than other people's.
