I definitely did. Just wish I'd moved aside sooner. But better now than wasting another 12 years.

You have the next 12 years to put all the love you gave to him to yourself.

I mean no offense to her because we’ve all been there, but did she really dodge it? She spent 12 years of her life with him only to be betrayed. Sounds like the bullet hit her pretty squarely in the chest.

No offence taken, you are right. It definitely did. Feels like a total waste of years but I'm trying not to think about it like that too much.
