Holly, I admire you for sharing your story so candidly and also for overcoming what you had to go through.
As a man who did indeed marry too early the first time, I divorced from my first wife and we both signed on a mutually acceptable agreement that included alimony and child support. Thankfully I was able to remarry to a fantastic woman and we have had an equal sharing marriage for 38 years. I consider myself to be very lucky to have found someone to closely connect with the second time around. I wish that could happen for everyone who chooses to marry.
