We've Broken Up, I'm Finally Out...

Hi everyone,

I posted a few weeks back that I was getting ready to break up with SO. I've finally done it. He moved out last night, and I'm more than excited to get my house back in order and live a child-free life again. It was difficult, very difficult, because I do love and care about him and I know he loves me. But it's for the best. We're just not right for each other, and I'm looking forward to seeing what the future brings.

I wanted to thank everyone who has given me fantastic guidance and advice. This past 3 years was crazy for me and steptalk really helped me get through it.

Thank you all.

I wish the best for everyone here!

Thank GOD you did it!! I'm old enough to be your mother, and it was difficult to read your posts. Your ex lacks maturity and motivation, and his poor choices are going to affect his quality of life for a long, long time. He was a millstone around your neck.

A wise old Jewish man once told me, "It's just as easy to marry rich as it is to marry poor, and if you don't date poor men you eliminate half the problem." Translated into modern terms, if you're selective about the men you date and avoid people of low character altogether, your chances for a happy life will be much greater. Also, it's important to look at a man's family of origin as that will tell you what his version of normal is. Your ex came from a dysfunctional, low rent family, and it showed in the low standards he held himself to.

Half the people in this world are male, so enjoy yourself and take your time choosing a life partner. Be choosy, and be happy!
