[quote=Anonymous]This was my Life, except my ex dumped me.

We lived in the same town but then he moved away first and we continued to date long distance- only seeing each other on the weekend. A year later  I moved to his town and we moved in together, Then I saw the signs that he had been with a lot of other girls and we were not  exclusive and he’d had this other life all along. and he pretty much confessed that he wasn’t ready to settle down.

I moved on and met the most perfect man on paper, but still pined for my ex. And by that time he was coming back apologizing and begging (I’m convinced just for me to be one on the side ).

I didn’t love Mr Perfect but wanted to settle down. He was insecure because if a bully ex girlfriend and being “a nerd”.  It took s while, but I am totally in love with him. It’s 18 years later and we have 3 beautiful kids and everything I could’ve hoped for. Ism totally in love with everything about him, and we are planning our retirement Years (DH is in finance so we are doing very well). But this just happened 10 it so years ago. I was swept off my feet 1 year in, when I realized how great he treated and respected  and loved me. I first fell in love with that. (My experience makes me understand how arranged marriages can work out,if both parties have and work toward the same goal)

But I had to convince myself not to think of what-ifs even in the Meantime. It didn’t help that ex did do very well for himself right afterward (he did get an MS as an engineer). He eventually married and had kids a little too late  for my biological clock. He contacted me on fb 10 years in to sincerely apologize. And it took everything out of me to just respond cordially with 1-2 lines then block him.[/quote]
