Sounds to me like you need to break free from your mother and
learn to be more independent. I know that sounds incredibly
smug, but if this guy was your 3rd time around and only lasted
three months, you appear to be looking for someone just so
you're not alone. First you have to learn to be yourself, without
the approval of your mother or a husband to validate you.
I know, smug advice coming from the guy who married a crazy woman
and stayed with her 13 years!
Not to make light of your dilemma, but I can't get over the number
of posts I've seen this week from people trying to decide whether to
date or hop in bed with their ex! Is it springtime, or is this
"DO IT WITH YOUR EX" week? Whew, I didn't want to go there before the
split, sure don't want to now!
