No such luck

[DonH]

I’m so sorry to read this Ginger. I was just thinking of you, might have even been today. If not today it was after visiting here and seeing basically no activity. So few people left and even those who are post very little while others feel the need to block posters who force them to look at the truth. In your case I was concerned that you had not posted at all about this new guy you. I was pretty sure that was because you didn’t want to hear what we’d have to say if you provided the truth. If it was going well it would only make sense you’d want to tell us how wonderful things were and how happy you were. The silence was deafening. Now I see why.

I give you huge compliments for being forthcoming and honest now. I know you feel bad. You deserve so much more. Why would you even let it go this long with the blinding red flags flying everywhere. This guy is clearly not worthy of you. He was showing who he is. It was clear. You knew it. You just didn’t want to.

More for another time. For now be happy with yourself for putting a stop to it sooner than later. There are more lessons to be learned but you deserve so much more than a guy like this. He’s badly damaged and clearly an addict with multiple addictions - booze, gambling, no doubt others.

Please don’t take him back. YOU DESERVE SO MUCH MORE. This guy should have been gone weeks ago. You tried. You did not fail - he did. If it’s between a guy like this or being single - choose single. You are worth more.
