When I was a young girl, I told myself that at the age of 24, I should be married. That "goal" was instilled so deep in my mind that I stuck it out with a gambling addicted boyfriend just so it would come true. The five years we were together, he had lost almost $67,000.00...not loose change right? Everytime he would slip up, he would tell me that it wouldn't happen again...that he would change...that he'd already learned his lesson. And I believed him. Until that fateful day came when I found out that he had used up almost all of my personal life savings too.
This happened almost 8 years ago...we each have our own lives now. I have recovered emotionally and financially, but the scar of those five years will always haunt me forever.

You have done the right thing. Many times in life we make certain decisions which are not correct .But we tend to so much obseessed with our plans that we can't see such things.It is nice to know that you have came out of this type of bad relationship.remember that time is the greatest healer & your dreams will be fulfilled one day.
