I assume that by now you have noticed the great disparity in the looks between LA and AL women. Alabama has some of the most beautiful (and smart) women in the country.

remained close with his family.



I’m still really close to my former sister in law.

She knows all he has done, has told me that while she loves her brother...she can’t believe he did that to me and I didn’t deserve any of that. And she agrees what he has done is not cool at all. She texts me often checking up on me. And has told me that no matter what...I’m always an aunt to her two kids and she hopes I continue to be in their life in some aspect.

Thank you for saying that. I truly hope so. I’m a much better person now and honestly in a much better and secure place than I was 6 years ago, it just doesn’t look like on the first few dates. My car is a 2010, I live in an apartment, I don’t have the fanciest and nicest clothes, etc.

But I’m 100% sober, very solid employment and in a good place career wise for a move up, and just moved to new city with unlimited possibilities.


You are someone that has hit rock bottom and pulled himself out of it. Likely an experience that has forever humbled you and made you truly appreciate what is really important in life. Also has likely made you a much stronger person overall.

A good and decent woman that has also been through her share of hell in life will appreciate that.

Keep your head up

Dave, are you still working remotely for the company in LA?


Yes, but they know it now. Let’s not talk too much about that here.

Thank you. My head is up, I’m optimistic but I also don’t want to get dragged down by all of someone else’s bad decisions or hellish life situations. Lord knows I’ve had enough of my own. Realizing your own baggage and accepting someone else’s baggage is a delicate balance.

You keep your head up too. Life hasn’t been kind to you the last few years and I know you have to have some truly difficult days to suffer though, now and in the future. Keep on, keeping on. It can’t rain forever.

I feel lucky because I've never had to use an app nor my girlfriend.
The thought of using one scares me so don't think I ever could but my neighbors met on one and are happy.. there's that.

So true. I try to remind myself all this is just shaping me into a better and stronger person. I'm not perfect by any means...but I know I deserved much better treatment than what I got from my ex.


I've learned I'm stronger than I ever could have realized. Trying not to let it turn me into a bitter, man-hating divorcee. We've all seen those women and I so don't want to be that.

That’s just stuff and someone who judges you by stuff is likely not worth being in a relationship with anyway.

Hubby was literally driving a truck that he couldn’t put in reverse that he was paying 20% interest on from one of those shady “we finance anyone” lots.

The ability to pull yourself up from rock bottom is something to be proud of.

Good luck. Lol, in my experience it's not worth it. Social media has pretty much ruined true relationships.
I've just learned to focus on myself, when that one comes along it will happen spontaneously.
No rush, I was married for 12 years, so not looking for a man to waste my time.

I don’t think this would be much of a deal breaker for most men. I think “baggage” is usually defined as kids and baby-daddy drama.


Yeah, nurse, this plus the fact that you even use the word “boundaries” when talking about helping your family says to me that they won’t be an issue as far as baggage. It’s good to help your family and as long as it doesn’t consume your life it won’t be an issue in any new relationship.

I think you should worry a lot more about the baggage of potential new men. Kid and baby mama drama can consume your life and turn you into a bitter person you don’t recognize. Tread carefully and research red flags. As a person who is giving and a natural caregiver, you are at risk of being taken advantage of. Some divorced men are an endless pit of drama and need.
