[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First break-up after divorce. Had dated for three years. I left.

I love him but there were too many red flags for me: his politics are questionable - believes some conspiracy theories, he is bad with money and hasn’t saved for retirement (he’s mid 50s), he doesn’t take responsibility for his actions.

Despite the above I do love and miss him. The pain is no joke. Just needed to throw that out into the universe.[/quote]

Why were you with a broke and irresponsible conspiracy theorist for three years if that's not your cup of tea? If you really loved him, you would've accepted him with his shortcomings. You just loved being with someone, which you can find again.[/quote]

Many of these issues didn’t become apparent until this year when we started to get really serious. [/quote]

Look, I don’t know how old you are but you do not waste two years of your life waiting to get serious only to find out there are major league issues that are dealbreakers. What were you doing for two years? When you date at this stage of life you drill down and do not allocate time/emotion to people who are bad investments.[/quote]

This^. What's the point of age and relationship experience if you can't analyze people and situations better than before?[/quote]
