Thanks for the props Martha. You're awesome yourself.
I have an interesting little story about a divorced couple that got back together.
Remember how I said I was dating this girl this summer and then suddenly no more contact? Well, a couple months ago she started texting me, never called, and her first one apologized for dropping off the map and said she thought she had made a bad mistake. Well she finally called this weekend. Apparently she remarried her XH. I guess a couple dates with me drove her back into his arms.
Anyway, she finally called because she was getting divorced. So it took her all of four months to realize it was a mistake and 6 months to marry and divorce. She said he convinced her that things had changed with him and for awhile he had changed (I didn't get into details about the problems). She said she guessed it was loneliness and a desire to put her family back together for the kids' sake that contributed to her decision to reconcile with her XH. They both agreed, according to her, that no one was better off, not even the kids because they were embroiled once again in an unpleasant home environment. I just said I can understand her rationale. Obviously, she doesn't sound like great dating material. I wasn't emotionally invested in a relationship with her so it was more interesting than anything. I guess it wasn't a cure for anything. Neither were DBing or anything, so it might not be that way for people on here, just food for thought.
His words.."you were so carefree when you lived in X, and now you are not." Her reply was "I'm still carefree, but it's hard to be that with you." He was attracted to her happiness, probably because he had little of his own, but found it couldn't be maintained together.
