A recent question on here just inspired me to ask this. My husband and I were friends before we dated. We knew each other and each other's friends. It was 'safe' love from the start. It wasn't a whirlwind romance. He treated me well. But I always knew he wasn't as confident as me, or as ambitious. At the time I thought I didn't care and I loved him and I still do. But now I wonder what it would have been like to find someone who is ambitious like me and who does take risks and not get down on himself. A real 'man's man' (hubby is not your typical burly handyman) who knows how to fix things and is strong physically and emotionally. To take the risk and maybe get hurt again by this type of guy. I had been dating a strong, hardworking trade type of guy and had my heart pierced when I learnt he was cheating on his gf/wife (had a child) and using me for s*x on the side. I dated another between him and hubby but I still think I was drawn to hubby because he wanted me so much and appeared safe. I could have looked for another stronger type. Even now when I see a guy in steel capped work boots and work clothes I feel attracted (would never ever act on it though). But instead I stayed with the guy who loved me and I loved - and I still do. We have kids and he's great with them. But I want a stronger husband who makes decisions - he has trouble with decisions and gets down on himself for it.Now I am stuck with all his problems - is this just a case of 'grass greener'? Or did I settle for less?
