So Emotional, I looked for your story and see that your BD was the same time as mine (mine was a month earlier, March 2015) and we have similarities in our stories. My H also took 7 years to propose.
I'm sorry to hear you also have a vanisher and yet another foolish MLCer who plans to marry the OW. How long after your BD did you get divorced? How long has it been since you've had contact with him?
The desire to be loved is the last illusion. Give it up and you shall be free. ~ Margaret Atwood
