I went to an all girls high school and had a crush on a teacher who looked like Ned Flanders. He was just…all there was available, to think about.

As long as I stay sane and refuse to entertain thoughts of contacting my disastrous ex husband, who tries to initiate with me every other month since being released from jail, then I'm going to be fine. It's easy to quickly dismiss someone bad for you if you don't have a history, or a child together. But our history was incredibly unhealthy, and he was never a part of raising that child. Sometimes I almost put on rose colored glasses when I am worn out from work + kids + personal issues, and I imagine what would have happened if I had chosen a better guy initially. But I'll never jeopardize my kids or all the progress I've made, so I'm going to have to wait it out until I can put more time/energy into pursuing a compatible (and sexy!) person.
