The WW usually takes the first person who shows some emotional support for them/is going through a similar situation. It is quite rare two people just find each other like that and are a perfect match.
EXACTLY!!!!! Hit the sweet spot right there.
This precisely describes the little EA my W had in the beginning. The dude was going through his own separation and they found common cause. W realized however he's a total dirtbag. hahahahaha! I can laugh about it now, but I was definitely angry about it then - still am now, but it's going away slowly.
Don't mean to toot my own horn, but the little I know about this dumba$$ - he didn't hold a candle to me. I take great satisfaction in that regard.
