There's an old saying that goes, those who fail to remember the past.....have a tendancy to repeat it. It would seem, however....that I have forgotten....nothing.

Perhaps I may be single for a long time.....which is fine.....I've always loved by the creed of "it's far better to be single and lonely, than hitched and miserable." And yet after a 1 year relationship and a 2 month fraudulent marriage...she didn't follow up on her divorce...i still find myself thinking about what I could have done differently.

Then reality smacks me in the mouth and says no matter who I had done it, the end result would be the same. I met a woman on a Christian dating site....perhaps the first red flag....Christians are great at heartbreaking. We dated for a year. I spent that year investing in getting to know her children, etc etc. After she moved to Nashville, she began making male friends at a geometric rate. One of them got way too close for my comfort, and when I confronted her about it, I hit a brick wall. Ignored it. Big Mistake.

After we married, her and the kids pulled a 180 on me. I was on the outside looking in. She began spending more and more time with her male friend. The first chance she had to bail out of the marriage, she did. But when she went to file, she found out her divorce papers never got signed. So there never was a marriage.

She took the kids and moved out. Said she wanted me to go on with my life....I did....met a woman who once modeled for Budweiser, hit it off, and while we are in the beginning, starting off as friends, the would be wife completely flipped out when she found out about my new friend. I immediately defended myself, citing the would be wife's behavior with HER friend.....her excuse is that I shouldn't hang with a woman who drinks. Tsk Tsk.

So I let the would be wife go. No point is trying to keep someones heart that wasnt in it from the start. No point in pursuing the heart of a hypocrite.
So I'm doing what I have to do to get over it. Cut ties with mutual acquaintances. Stopped frequenting the places we used to go. Got the heck off facebook. Starting fresh. An uphappy ending still led to a new beginning.

Obviously you have lived and learned. Experiences like that are a fact of life and all we can do is learn how to avoid experiencing them over and over. It's cool that you have taken the right steps to starting fresh.

I agree with that Mr. ProPhotographer:-)

Stay happy and enjoy life Mr.kevinlovett1976:-)

my friends just call me Pro...cheers Marianne

You have completed the first step in disconnecting the dots of the past...

Now, you need to take all the frustration and heartache and helpless rage and bury it in the deepest, darkest corner of your heart to fester and simmer to a boil until it explodes out on some poor unsuspecting soul...like a cashier at Wal-mart...or those damned girl scouts who are constantly in your face hooking thier cookies.

Thanks Pro

there is always the girl at the drive thru at McDonalds, they´re good targets too...

Ain't life crazy !

Sounds like a run of craziness in your life, and you are taking the right steps to move on. Time will take care of the rest.

Now if you hook-up with another woman like this you should ask yourself why.

ok....


its over....


throw it away......

do not bring it to the next relationship o.k.?

Yesterday is gone, so move on and live. This thing called life goes by like the twinkle of an eye.
