Merry Christmas to you and your son. May God give you peace and happiness in your future.
I wonder if we'll be better at noticing and attending to those red flags (e.g., getting out after the 2nd, 3rd date) this time around. I imagine that it'll be hard to overlook the positives to do so.
Well it must be nice to have had a second or third date. Some of us poor souls haven't found the first date.
I do agree with you though, when I think back on several relationships including my marriage, I should have listened to my intuitions. I remember after dating XW for a couple of months I had a hunch she might have cheated on me. To this day I don't know if she did then, but she made up for it later if she didn't. When I was younger I didn't pay any attention to things like compulisve buying habits or tossing money in a gambling machine. Now I will live without a R and SL, unless I find a "normal?" lady.
