[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 338098, member: 1436"] I met my husband after my divorce from a really horribly abusive marriage. I had returned to my hometown and had already had a child, and while I wasn't looking for a mate, he showed up. I had no intentions of entering a long term relationship---he was looking for a mate, but had not found the one he wanted to be with. We ended up together. The first time I saw him, I knew. I can't explain it, but I knew I would be with him for the rest of my life. It has not been easy. There have been moments I wanted to run...he is a good man, underneath all the issues, and every time I look at him my stomach flips...so I choose to love him, I choose to be with him. Over and over I have made that choice, so yes, it is a choice. I could choose to leave. Luckily, I am not stuck in the marriage. If I chose to leave, I could without any major problems. It has not been easy to stay...even if on the outside we are a strikingly handsome couple...we look like we belong together...but real life is much tougher...and it is a choice to stay and work to be together. I do not regret one single moment of our life togther. [/QUOTE]
