Then let me repeat it one more time for the folks in back: Just because he's the best of the lot you've dated doesn't mean he's the best you'll ever date!
I stayed with my Ex Husband for far longer than I'd like to admit, in part because I wasn't sure I was ready to choose me (and potentially being alone) and partly because he was the best of what I'd dated up until that point. The devil you know, and all that.
And yes, I had a really rough spell following the divorce, but looking back from where I am now, I am so glad I went through that.
I hope you find your peace too, Nita.❤
