So, before I met my husband, Jim, I was engaged twice to two other guys. As weird as it is to sit here today finding gratitude in ex-boyfriends, every experience I have had has led me to where I am, and I’m just damn happy.
But it’s not just my ex-boyfriends and the things I learned in those failed relationships that I’m grateful for. I’m grateful for my daughter’s ex-boyfriends. Some of you know the bullet we dodged with her boyfriend of nearly two years ago, but the point is that she, like every other woman before her, has had to learn what to value in a relationship and how to avoid the ones that aren’t good for you. I’m glad she is where she is, and I’m glad she didn’t get too hurt in learning the lessons she learned.
We should all be thankful for the exes in our lives. The rough seas make you appreciate the calm waters.
