Re:No regrets! ayne: MTMO - I completely agree, we could be the same person. I hardly dated and got married young. Now being single in my late 20's I'm a little scared but also excited. And like you I wouldn't trade being married to my EX for anything. Even though I went through a tremendous amount of pain because of him it also helped make me into the person I am today. Because of that JackA$$, because of the trials and tribulations I went through I am a much stronger woman. I am more confident and self-assured. I know I can handle life by myself. So I certainly don't regret it, not one bit.

Re:No regrets! LostTeacher: MotivatedToMoveOn and Ayne
i can understand exactly where you two are coming from with the dating thing, although i am not quite in the same boat yet of starting out there. i can't believe how many people share my story!! i started dating my stbxh when i was only 14, and i never really dated anyone else. so the idea of starting into that dating pool at 26 is both exciting and terrifying at the same time. my biggest problem is that i never really learned how to or needed to date. i was always very comfortable with what i had (which might have been part of the problem). i hope that i will be able to have your strength to move on, and enjoy what is out there.
by the way.... does anyone have any tips on how to start finding what's out there? i teach, so it's a little hard to meet people in the workplace, and the bar scene is not exactly my style.
