I was previously married as well. At the time, I THOUGHT he was the one, although when I look back on it now, I realize I had doubts from day one. I was in love and convinced myself it was the happiest I was ever going to be. Wrong.

I'm getting remarried next summer to the RIGHT man, and we both knew we were it for each other by about the fourth month we were together. How did I know? He was everything my ex wasn't, we were great friends, and we had similar life goals. I knew, like Giga said, we had a better chance of growing together rather than apart over time.
