I am 42 years old and have never been married. Been engaged 3 times over a 20 year period. THREE TIMES. All of them, as soon as I gave them the ring, moved on to another guy. All three of them approached me to date, and all three talked about marriage without any prodding from me. Go figure.
After all that, two years ago I found a woman who was eight years older, conservative, officer in the local GOP. She pursued me too. I could not have loved a woman more. Got a promotion to a supervisor and decided she was now high society. Went running back to her ex who she’d divorced years earlier and who she’d turned down flat on getting back together just before we dated.
Told me to get out of her life, never speak to her again, and she regretted dating me. They fell thru and a month later she was back and all but demanded we get together, then went right back to her ex after I basically told her to go to hell.
I can’t tell you how many of my buddies have been thru crap like that. So many people get jerked around they just get their fill. I don’t care if I ever date again.
I don’t have a reply to your post....crap!...you dodged a bullet is all i can say.
