10. Hopefully it reminds you of what was good about the other relationship.

BUT if things get weird....

I had left my first husband for that last time after he went back to drinking (which is what gave him the idea to try and kill me).

ANYWAY....

At some point I felt good about me and the guys were swarming around me, but they were not the real good thing that I needed.

Won't bore you with details, but suffice it to say that if men seem to be crawling out of the wood work looking for a woman, they probably have more in common with roaches than most women can tolerate.

SO I went to therapy and made up this 2 1/2 typewritten page list of what I really wanted/needed in a relationship.

AND my husband of 23 years was EVERYTHING on that list and more.

He's still annoying some days. It's like being married to Roger Rabbit at times.

BUT the core stuff is wonderful.
