Tia - I don t have a mantra but do have some advice. You said you broke up with fiance because he was flaky and didn t keep his promises. Still, you didn t break up with him until Dr. Michael showed up.
Assuming your assessment of fiance is true and not just rewriting history in order to dump him WHY did you stay for 14 years with a guy who wasn't meeting your needs?
Seems to me you need to figure out what this was about before you can have a healthy relationship with Dr Michael (especially since there s a risk you might be his rebound?).
Welcome back! It's been a long, long time and I remember you as a moderator and often wondered what happened to you.
Cadet,
Thank you for restoring postings on Tia's thread.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
Cadet, I stayed with him for 14 years since I loved him. No one is perfect, and I am very loyal. He changed a lot for me; however, he doesn't keep his word. I cannot live like that. But we remain friends. I even bought him lunch yesterday.
Hi job! Nice to be recognized! I hope you're having a grrreat weekend!
Right now I'm doing things independently. I am focusing on my health. I recently fractured my lower back and see an Acupuncturist, Physiatrist (joint/muscles), Physical Therapist. So I do daily exercises. I spend time with my parents, and I'm going back to school. I should also develop my faith, and memorize scriptures. My focus is my health, family and career. But God should be Number One. The men can chase after me...ha ha:):)
