Just today I was thinking, and this is so stupid since it's been 30+ years, about the cute doctor I dated when I just had met my husband. I think if I had stayed with him my kids would have been encouraged to get to college, my family would have had some respect for me, and I would be well off now. Or, would I? That's the million-dollar question when we speculate what could have been.
Then, I chose my husband over the doctor who was broke, didn't even have a car, made very little money, and was short! It was good sex and I was 31 and never had that before. Oh, well :-)
