Love after divorce

[angiewith2]

I thought I'd share my story for encouragment. 

I dated a guy in highschool.  I really liked him but it was never serious. He was too immature at the time.  We went our seperate ways, him into the army and me to college.  While in college i met guy there and we eventually became engaged.  Not long after getting engaged My dad told me the guy from highschool contacted him and told him that the army really made him think about what was important in life and he really wanted to be with me.  

 I had really wanted to be with him in highschool  but was already engaged to what I thought at the time wasa good guy.  I thought "too bad he had his chance" and  I went through with my marriage and we were happy for a while.  Eventually the guy i married  started cheating on me, lying to me about many things. I tried for years to make it work but he kept lying and being unfaithful.  I eventually left him.

Not long after seperating from my now ex-husband, the guy from highschool contacted me by email and told me how really felt about me.  I told him I was really burned and it was going to take some time for me to be able to trust another guy again. He stuck with me and supported me through an ugly custody battle that took nearly 3 years. He waited patiently until my ex signed the divorce papers (took 2 years for that).   He helped me financially get back on my feet.   We eventually got married.  Now I feel like i'm with the person i was supposed to be with in the first place. Everything feels right.  He had never been married before and never had children of his own.

Often I ask him, why me? I had so much baggage to deal with.  I was a mess.  Not really what i thought would be good girlfriend/wife criteria.  He could have been with someone else who didn't have a divorce, and children on their wife resume.  He tells me he loves me and hoped that he had earned my trust. 

We've been married so far for a year and a half.  But have been together for almost 5 years.
