(6,837 posts)I have a relative. She's about 50, could pass for 32. She's a sweetheart.
Her husband seems to think he can do better and is leaving her. I know, I know... I cannot really know the whole story. But from where I sit, the man is an idiot.

(4,185 posts)Had a long term boyfriend.
She thought he was it and he, her.
But, he decided to test the waters one last time and broke up with her in a wishy washy way.
We met two weeks later.
He's still single 10 years later.
