of course I'm going to run into red flags, but mostly I'd be concerned about how the other person is dealing with it or managing it. we all have emotional wounds from stuff and it's a case of what they're doing about it. it doesn't need to be resolved but they should be trying to figure it out. I'm sure that my emotional insecurities are red flags for other women, but I'm back trying to work at it. I'd like to see the same.

Thanks man! appreciate the words of encouragement and compassion. I think I'm pretty over it now. This board has a great way of knocking sense into these things. I just need to be more diligent about focusing on myself and the kids. And as I said, gym is back, diet is almost back - good baby steps.
