What warning signs do you look for - 02/23/13 03:43 PM
I married my ex within a year of meeting him. I thought he was wonderful, and we shared the same family values and hopes for the future. I was young and optimistic of course, 19 and he was 21.
All the above was still true but I uncovered his avoidance of conflict which made it impossible to talk through issues and he had quite a temper... We could have made it as a married couple with growth and work, but I grew personally and he went to smother woman instead.
So one thing I know is that I want to date longer and make sure I have abetter idea of how he acts under stress. I still find myself wondering if I will see a different side later on. I met a guy in college and we were friends first and he's awesome... Maybe I'm just old and cynical now (32) and wonder where the hidden dark sides are.
This is disjointed and my first post out of SAA... I'm typing on acell phone which makes it harder
