Hey Prudence,Re It Was Him, Not Me: As someone who met my husband at 37, there’s one thing I really wish I had done beforehand. It’s not the path for everyone, but I think it is worth reflecting on as the LW moves forward. She also has a wonderful community of other “single moms by choice” that she met online and through networking. If you can’t respect her, break up with her. Tomorrow, the next night, and several nights next week I’m getting together to celebrate the holidays with different groups of friends.
