DEAR JANE: I dumped my husband to marry again - but I still love the man I left and it's torture!
Daily Mail UK ^ | 2/5/23 | Dear Jane

Posted on 06/05/2023 1:28:54 PM PDT by DallasBiff

Dear Jane,

I left my husband four years ago when I met the new love of my life who I am now married to, but every day I realize what a terrible mistake I made, and I would do anything to turn back the clock.

I am not exactly unhappily married, but I know this isn't what marriage should be, and I am burning with regret over leaving my former husband, who was - I now know - the true great love of my life. He is with someone else now, and my current husband would be devastated if he knew how I felt, so I am carrying this alone.

Dear Regretful,

First of all, let me start by saying that I am sorry, truly, for the pain you are in. As a dyed-in-the-wool romantic, who grew up watching Hollywood movies and reading endless romance novels, the phrase that jumps out at me in your letter is this: 'I know this isn't what marriage should be.'

I have been thinking about our expectations around romance, and how horribly unprepared we are for the institution of marriage.

It might be part of the monkey-branch tendency. They think they can branch away and come back if their branchings didn’t work out like they wanted.

It might also be their internal devaluing of the men in their lives makes them think that the men will welcome them back to improve their lives.

The pain of what? Having a half-brain?

I hope her ex is happy as a lark now.
