The thing is, you made a stand. Don't regret making a stand. Ever. It's part of who YOU are. It's best to take the rose colored glasses off as soon as possible, but don't ever regret the choices you made. You made those choices with the information you had at the time and they were good, sound choices based on what you knew. It's important to realize that, GM.
Now that you see more clearly, take the appropriate action and don't look back. For those out there going through similar, take heed. Make your choices and stand by them. But for God's sake, don't be fooled by the past person they were. I wasn't happy with the choices or being lied to. But over the last few days I've once again revisited my choices. And I'm happy to say I don't regret a single one. My situation was different of course, but I took those glasses off and saw earlier in the process. I knew I was doing things the way I could live with them later. Finances and such aside, I have no regrets about them. The finances? I'm lucky that I have a job to help me through them. I get that. For others, you have to assume that they won't "wake up" and "come back" and act accordingly. You can change course as needed, but you won't regret taking those precautions GM mentions.
Peace, AJ
