“When I met my now ex-husband in my early 20s, I wanted him to be my best friend,” writes Diana Park. “I wanted a partner to do everything with me, to be everything for me — a confidant, a sounding board for business ideas, and an antiquing buddy. I thought (naively) that that’s what a true soulmate and boyfriend should be. And because I was in my early 20s and hadn’t lived enough to realize that was an awful lot to expect from one person, I quickly became disappointed.” And she learned something very, very important from the experience. — Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
