There's a woman I've known since 2002. She changed my life for the better.

Because she helped me so much, for a long time I didn't see the red flags. After a while I noticed that she only wanted me around when I'd found someone else. I met my wife in 2007, and my wife is 200% amazing, loving, caring, beautiful, and this goofy woman I met in 2002 was hysterically trying to get herself involved... always needing my help with little repairs around her house, always trying to be close. When I finally made up my mind to just cut this woman out of my life, everything got better. It took a while to get her out of my head. Having a lovely, supporting wife made all the difference.
