Then you wouldn't have your kids or grandkids.... you may be alone.  How sad.

I'm not going to get into your personal choices, though at least you were fortunate enough to "stop someone's world from revolving", for at least a short time.

(Friday 3/8/24) @Tempest332 , not sure I "understand" your comment but do appreciate you taking time out of your day to respond. Some women and men "choose" to STAY IN bad marriages. I didnot and PROUD of this. Words can NEVER describe the h.ll I lived in and so GLAD I GREW UP and didnot REPEAT that h.ll.  😎

... Just saying, maybe I was smart enough to avoid that hell, in my early 20's apparently I was Tyrone Shulace.  LOL  I'd have much to tell my younger self, not going to matter at this point.  I should wait till I'm 70, I'd be a rare commodity by then if I'm still around.

(3/9/24) Well @Tempest332 , AGE in my "humble" opinion will SAVE us from SOME "lessons" but NOT all. Lol, I still dated the WRONG guys AFTER my "divorce" and that LESSON finally got finished in my OLD AGE. As the saying goes, nothing like an old fool...  😎

Sometimes a toxic relationship is better than no relationship at all. 

I thought the saying was "there is no fool like an old fool". 🤔
