She tried to have a conversation with me, asking if I even thought about having dinner with her when she asked me the night before. And said she wanted to invite me on a trip to Europe...blah blah,
she was thinking that that would pull you back in--a last-ditch effort to have control of you by inviting you to Europe...
i know you have heard this many times, and it does not minimize the pain you feel over the dissolution of your very young marriage, but you are young... you will take all that you have learned from this first marriage and make yourself a better-prepared partner... you will not be guided by your Mr. Nice Guy tendencies that turn you into a mate-pleaser... you are kind... you are intelligent... you are not afraid of commitment... you will meet a woman who will recognize her good fortune to know you... to be loved by you... and she will love you... and you will love her... you will have children and a lovely family of your own with a selfless partner who does not manipulate, control and make everything about her...
you have EVERYTHING to look forward to, Chris... honestly--you do...
