Confession time - when we met - we were both in other relationships that were rocky and or breaking up.

For me, my 6 year relationship had been rocky and I had moved out of town 100 miles away, and we had not been intimate in about 2 years, no affection, no hand holding, nothing. We had broken up several times, had dated others, etc... However, we still had not had the "we are officially breaking up talk" so I take responsibility for not oficially ending it before getting involved with WW.

WW was in a rocky relationship, they had broken up several times, she had moved out, moved back in, they had dated others, but again, they did not have the "break up talk" as far as I know until after I was on the scene.

To clarify, nobody was married, nobody had any kids, etc... We were all pretty young, but I was wrong in handling it the way I did. So maybe this is just this affair ending? I read that somewhere.

All of my W previous relationships were nefarious, all of them and all involved cheating or inappropriate relationships (authority figures, etc...) So clearly this is a pattern for W. She has never been on her own.

For me, I have only seriously dated 3 people and W was #3. We met when I was 30 and she seemed to want what I did, a relationship, and a chance to start a family in another state. I have had several periods where I did not have a GF and lived on my own or with roomates.

I just wanted to get that off my chest and to ponder how that affects my curent mess.
