I was at the market the other day, donning my n95 mask and gloves along with my own bags to get some food to cook. Low and behold and ex-gif from a few years past comes by. She took a doubt take, but I recall the face even with the mask quite well. She turned back and said excuse me, I said yes, her name. I thought it was you. How are you, what's going on? All is good and I saw she also had her child with her. Couldn't be more than a year or so. I said I see you have a little one. Congrats, I hope you and your fam are doing okay during this crisis. She said, no, she's a single mom. My fam is helping me raise this little guy. I said, I see. Well, I wished her well and only the best for her and her little guy, and then went on my way. Man, it amazes me how some women make just really poor choices. She's 36 now I believe, we dated when she was 30/31. Still looks the same, but just, I don't know why she'd select this path in life.
Her (original) pros:
==============
Educated as a math and science teacher, with tenure.
Owned her own condo.
Good with money (yes, amazing, I know).
Incredibly attractive and I thought had family values.
Has younger married sister who had a child just when we started dating way back when.
Solid family with mom and dad still married.
Her cons:
=======
She selected single motherhood over family.
She's was a Hillary supporter, so probably very liberal.
Now is bringing up a child in a broken home.
Parent's raised two daughters, now raising a third grandson from their oldest daughter.
Just amazes me some of the decisions women make these days.
