I guess I have a different view on this..
I REFUSE to let my experience with an alcoholic ruin my chances of finding a wonderful man to enhance (not make) my life.
I might never find him, and that's ok, but I won't let my experience with an alcoholic decide that for me.
Granted, I was never married to him and that might make a difference, but it makes me sad to read that some would give up on finding/loving a wonderful someone...
