GreatLakes -
You feel so bad about the one that came soooo close to being The One.
I feel your pain.
He'll come around...but when? Only God knows. Only the fibre that has already been established in you...that you have yet to figure out...knows! You make your choices and he makes his.
And, we all know, if it's meant to be IT WILL.

Audrey,
I think, I may be wrong, but I think Greatlakes guy married some ditz, so Greatlakes needs to enjoy the new guy.
The guy I dated before dick that showed up on my doorstep Monday because he is now married and miserable keeps calling me, he has called me everynight but one. I don't always answer. Not sure what he wants from me, says he needs a friend right now. Marriage is awful. So yes they do come back, but its way too late for him. Plus he is married. No thank you, I will pass. Now he has to lie in the bed he made.

Robin, I have no freakin' idea what's going on anymore and who's who.
And oh! btw, I had to respond to GL and now you tell me the guy is MARRIED. Cripes!
Can the situation become any more similar to mine (minus the kid(s), of course)????

Hello girls,
I had to fast forward and see how my life would be after I got to day 30 in the "no contact". Puzzlements. Do I really want to go thro this again? LOL.
I may only be at day 4 ( Thanks's Audrey)
But even at this stage, my life is much sweeter. I'm finally getting caught up on all my duties (I live on a farm) Winter is coming.
I'm becoming a man hater. Red flags are everywhere. Wow.
I'm sure this will pass. Lmao
At the current time I am hanging out with my kids and their friends, I'm 50, the kids are 30.
Having a wonderful time.
I've been hanging out at local pubs. No threats there, I'm just a neigbor. Good to get out and about.
Wishing you all the best and we have each other. What more could we really ask for. LOL

GreatLakes,
you are not alone regarding "how could I be so wrong" and your kids.
I have made a few mistakes regarding exposure to my kids of the men I am dating.
Sometimes its too hard to not let them have exposure. You did what you thought was right...and to lament about it now, proves you are a great and conscientious mom. Don't feel badly. Children are resilient.
I dated one man (jerk-off) exclusively for a year... he and his kids came over all the time..... it was hard not to expose the kids since they live with me, and at the time my ex was not having the kids on w/ends.
They mention jerk-off every now and again...but its with fun memories and no sorrow.... maybe its because they have such a strong father in their life...... they have seen 3 men in my life.... buffoon is the latest one. They don't even know we have broken up....partly because I wanted some time and space away from seeing him before I broke the news.... partly because its a never ending cycle and the path is not clear right now with buffoon.
Yes our children miss them....even loved them. But we will learn from this, and be extra careful next time :)

SaucyMomma,
I am an older gal. Our children do learn from us. They are learning that friends come into our lives and go out. That is a good thing.
I have no regrets. LOL. They are learning life lessons that we were never taught.
I'm not sure how old your kids are but, they will learn from you. Everyone comes into our lives for a reason, maybe only a season.
Think about High School. boy was that hard. LOL

U have me confused with someone else. My thread is on understanding men called ebeneezer and vampy. He just made contact last week. I am havin fun with my new guy...but audery is right ..the jury is still out on the duability of the fabric he and made. I think its important for my kids to have stability in adult couple relatunships.
