Gasm: The best revenge is being yourself...and being true to yourself! Sometimes, no, most times, you don't have to go looking for revenge, if that's what you want to call it...it comes to you, if you are true to yourself.
KD you are a smart and grounded individual, I've learnt alot from you already and you never cease to amaze me. Everyone def listen to this man!!! I could have used your words of wisdom in the past.

Ana8: You have a lot to offer...you ladies have to believe in yourselves too...that way you won't pick losers. Once you think you're less than what you are, you settle for less. That being said, no guy is perfect...you will have to settle for a guy with flaws...we all have 'em, just ask Mrs. D, my girl Jenny, elmo, Mrs. P, or any one of the hundreds of ladies here! Just pick the non-relationship killing ones when you're deciding what you will tolerate.
So so true, ana8, please please never settle, there are men out there who will treat you the way you DESERVE to be treated. Heck I was with my ex for 12 years and took all kinds of crappy treatment (he was my HS sweetheart, we started dating when we were 14). If only I knew then what I know now.
Sure my hubby drives me crazy sometimes, he's SO messy, he can be unorganized and I swear he walks in the house and things just start falling out of their places onto the floor.
😀 But he loves me for all of my faults too. He treats me like I am the most important thing to ever have been placed on this planet.
I guess I'm just saying that it takes time, whether you're a guy or girl, to find that one. But when you do, you just mesh. And you can be yourself and you're not judged and you can wake up and look like hell with your hair sticking up and he/she will still think you're the most beautiful thing ever.
I think you have to date the bad before you can appreciate the good.
Oh and with the Ex, I had everything, we built a house worth over a quarter of a mill, had the perfect matching BMW's, on paper, yeah life was perfect, no money worries, just a couple preparing to start a family.
Well I left EVERYTHING. The cars, the house, everything IN the house. I grabbed a bag, packed it with some must-haves, and took off to my sister's place. And never looked back. Wasn't going to settle for the abuse any longer.
With my hubby now, we struggle. I was out of work, (laid-off twice - stupid high-tech) his salary was considered under the poverty line, and we rented this really nasty place in a REALLY bad neighbourhood. But we had each other. It didn't matter we didn't have enough food to eat even 2 meals a day. Things got better. Slowly. Now we have a nice-sized townhouse, a nice car, and we're planning a family together.
I guess I just added that in to show about the money thing...the right girl won't care about it...she'll love you for you, no matter how many dudes come along in their fancy cars flashing their money.
