Mead, when I read your posts, my thought was, “wow, my uncle is posting to TFP now.” Except you’re much younger. My uncle has always had this protective deal going on, and is in his third marriage.
This time, it may last because he has the ultimate, a woman who’s been in danger from an ex spouse. All the others were just financial rescues, I need a baby daddy rescues. He gets to be the big, strong republican with a town car and a plan.
As long as that isn’t the thrill for you, the protecting, it may be okay. If it is, you’ll find there are many, many women out there who have a sob story worse than the previous.
