After perusing through some of the posts here, there seems to be a wealth of quality advice. Happens, I'm in need of some.
Riddle me this.... Dated a very smart young lady many years ago, both her parents college grads, and she was excepted to GT to be come an engineer. I'm more of the Cinderella guy, parents divorced, only the second out of 5 to graduate high school, NO WAY to afford college
. Certainly there was no way for me to compete with the college guys there, and when my Ex suggested we date other people, that sealed the deal. There is history for another post concerning my Ex, but while she's blunt, she really didn't mean for it to sound or be that bad.
Relegated to myself that a new direction was in order. Four months later I'm married to one of my best friends in HS (my Ex went to a hoyti-toyti school
). I love my wife, she's great, we have two wonderful kids, a dog, a house... perfect right?
It's been a few years since then (like 18
) and over the years I've periodically wondered how things were for my Ex. Well I found her recently and OMG, her life is in the crapper. Not married, guys have sh&% on her, punching a clock at work making not much over minimum wage! Now I've found myself in a conundrum. All sorts of feelings I haven't felt since before I got married have just rushed in.
I'm not rash, or irresponsible, hence this post. Looking for some ideas here on what to do. I mean, can I really still be in love with my Ex after all these years? Hmmm..... Sorry for the long post on my first day out
