I'm sure your insight will provide some things to think about for our original poster. I'm sorry you had to go through all that. I'm sure it was difficult. As someone who also has been through divorce, I saw the signs, and didn't pay attention. I know how it goes. Now I'm in my second marriage, and this one is monumentally better, but I wish I hadn't done the first one. I thought it was "time" being 27 then, and didn't listen to my ex-husband when he asked a few weeks before the wedding if we were doing the right thing (should have been my screaming hint). I am a firm believer that your 20s are there to figure out who you are and what you want out of life. I was always a serial monogamist, but wish I had dated more and "tried on" more people before taking the plunge or moving in with any of them. I wish I had gotten my master's degree or toured Europe when I was singe. But we always have those "I wish" statements, don't we? Everyone has to walk their own path.
I wish you much happiness and luck in your life. I hope things have gone better for you.
