Leaping Into Problems
Blog Prompt: Today is Leap Day. Have you ever “leaped” into something without thinking? What was it and how did it turn out?
I guess it would have to be my first marriage. All I wanted to do was get married, not thinking how young I was, I had no clue what to expect and in the long run I paid for it dearly. Mind you my wonderful son came from this marriage, but I don’t think his father or I were ready to get married. And after 22 years of marriage, we decided to stop living a lie and divorced.
But I have always felt that when something bad happens something good will happen in return. After my divorce, I met a wonderful man and life could not be happier for me. Now I know what marriage is suppose to be like and I really think that being older, much wiser is what helps me be a much better wife.

I’m glad to hear that you found true love at last. Your layout is beautiful! I’m an all or nothing kind of gal and I either never act on my instincts or I just go for it. Fortunately, my leaps of faith have turned out for the best for the most part.
I definitely did a leap without thinking when I was younger. I was in “love” with my “soulmate,” and we were going to be together forever and he needed some help getting a car (we were young and he had no credit not bad credit just none established). He had a job making $600 a week so he could easily afford it. So we went out car shopping and found him a brand new Jeep. I signed as the primary on the loan. Almost immediately after getting the car home (mind you this was a long distance relationship at the time), he said stupid stuff to his boss and got fired, and we broke up. In the 2 yrs he owned the car he made less than half the payments (and I made a few of those), and it eventually got repo’ed. I had to beg my grandma for some money to get out from under the repo. It was a very bad experience. Well I am glad you found happiness the second go around. Coming thru on the dst blog train.
Great blog prompt.
Glad you found the right person
I am not a leaping type person – not spontaneous enough. I tend to worry and over-analyze everything!
I have had my fair of leaps and luckily they have all turned out to be good leaps! The LO is wonderful!
I’m so glad you made a decision to find happiness, even if it was 22 years later. Too many couples stay together because it is too much trouble after all these years or they just stay in a miserable marriage. I’m glad you found your soul mate!
I love those photos, Tammy! How romantic
Love your layout. I don’t leap before I look. I’m glad you found happiness the second time around.
Must have been the movement of our generation
I did the same thing. Married someone I shouldn’t have for the same reasons you gave. Like you, I do love the children who are a product of that mismatched marriage.
