I was reading this, and it got me interested:
Dear Carolyn: I dated my ex-boyfriend “Eric” from the age of 23 to 28. I broke up with him when I asked about marriage and he said he wasn’t ready for it. He took a temporary assignment abroad for six months and came back married. I was devastated but did my best to forget him.
Eric showed up at my apartment recently and asked to talk to me. He said he made a big mistake, the marriage was a disaster and they separated after less than five months. He said he got caught up in a whirlwind romance and lost his head. He knew it was a mistake immediately and wished he had married me. As soon as his divorce is final, he wants to marry me.
Is it crazy that I’m considering saying yes? He is the love of my life, and I haven’t met anyone else that I fit with like him. He even bought me a beautiful, vintage ruby ring — just what I would have picked. I feel like I have nothing to lose by giving it a shot. However, people are telling me that he needs to take a breather between marriages, and I’d be crazy to go through with it. Is it so crazy to take a leap of faith with the man I still love?
