Steve85,
Maybe I have forgotten what I learned from my first divorce. However, I remember that I am responsible for my own happiness. I remembered that outside our relationship and did stuff on my own. Yet just because we are not married, I do not see why one would walk away just because things got hard. My own marriage (which the story is on this forum somewhere) was a hot mess from day one, actually before day one. Honestly, hindsight being 20/20, I know now I should never have gone through with it. Yet I do not know that gives cause to just drop any subsequent relationship when it gets hard, just because we are not married? Am I wrong here? If, like my marriage, there were alot of signs such as her sleeping on the couch for years or belittling me constantly.... but there was none of that we got along great until the bomb dropped.
