I made a poor decision to marry this guy. I made an even worse decision to stay with him all those years. Had I gotten out early in the marriage (as I had contemplated at one time) I would most certainly be in a much better financial position and likely would have retired by now. I too grew up in an intact family that valued commitment and honor. To divorce my ex was a decision I did not make hastily. I just made the decision way too late.
We are all responsible for the decisions we make in life. No one else is to blame for our respective lot in life. Living the rest of your life with gut-wrenching regret and bitterness simply isn't healthy. You have to accept the outcome of your decisions and move on as best you can. Blaming others for your decisions of the past is futile.
