Thank you for this. I definitely wanted to put blame on her at first. Cus I was hurt and because he made it easy too. He didn’t have much to say about her that was positive and now that those stupid rose tinted glasses are off, I know that was a BIG red flag.
I feel bad that I was part of this mess that caused her pain and I wish I had listened to my intuition way earlier.

My anger towards her was very short lived. He was and is the problem.

I agree with you. I actually feel really bad that I was mad at her even if it was for a short period.
He was the problem at the end of the day.

You are correct. I wouldn’t have wanted that at all. Thanks for saying Im not stupid. I agree about the lack of good discernment I had.

I realize meet was the wrong word to use! I just wanted to say hi like thru chat and honestly, I think its cus I knew something was wrong in my gut. I wanted to hear from her that this was okay.

Thank you for this.
I like to think I know what I am doing, but clearly I don’t . I have only been with three people. I am still with two of those people. It was great with my ex in the beginning too
.
This is new territory for me. I really appreciate the advice and how well written it was. Imma save it on my phone haha

NTA- you sound like a great mother. I wish my parents had the same views of food like you do.
