whatsagirl, you are HARDLY ancient at 34! I became aware of XAH's drinking when I was 49. I hung on b/c I "didn't want to start over at 50." Know what that got me? The opportunity to start over at 55 instead!

I know it doesn't seem that way now, but an opportunity to start over is ALWAYS a gift. If you feel you'll "get over him quickly", so much the better.

You might want to take a look at this thread for a little perspective on those feelings about your age and where you are in life:
