I was just flipping around through S.C.. Looking
at some new and old blogs, catching up because
work has been tough lately.
I came across more than one about people being
in "LONG" relationships,  that one or the other did
something really bad to break it up.
I can easily say, been there & done that but it's not
the point.
If you look back, there are always signs. You maybe just
didn't see them  or refused to look at what was staring you
in the face.
I maybe a little off base, but after 5 to 7 years and your
not happy with the person, shame on you for staying.
Life is too short to be unhappy and being happy starts
with taking care of yourself first.

    It is probably because I went through a pretty similar situation recently and because I blogged about it, I can't help but think you were speaking to me in this post.  You're right in many regards, especially about your vision being 20/20 in hindsight.  Really little point in looking back now, though.  Only to learn from them, I guess.

    Your one of three I found. I also was cheated on
    by my "wife" at the time. It was with my best
    friend though; talk about a double wanny. I
    saw the signs but didn't believe them, she really
    is all over him boy she sure is friendly, etc.
    In my case I didn't believe what I was actually seeing
    but everyone else did.
    Love can make the smartest of us, deaf, dumb, blind
    and stupid....

    Hey Steve -
     
    Sometimes, the familiar misery wins out over fear of the unknown.  I am glad I finally conquered my own fear.  You are right about love sometimes dulling the senses, but like Grape, I find little value in dwelling on it, though I have done my best to go back and examine it and discover my own level of responsibility, even if it would have been easier to continue playing victim and martyr.  That is one mistake I am determined not to repeat ... playing martyr, not falling in love.  Starting over, being in love again, but with eyes open, is wonderful and scary, in about equal measures.  Sometimes the best things in life require a little risk.

    I second that emotion.

    If the truth is you two will have a better life after break up, so why not break up. I met many married men complained they have unhappy marriages at online site Agematch.com, they seek some discreet relationships, they seek sex, and many women seek sugar daddies, so this is the problem.
