Super interesting story Gaby. Sucks that you were misinformed, but your instincts took you down the right path I think. If you even had a whiff of someone being underage you run like hell IMO.
I agree with what Wisconsin Chief said there, that every decision I've made, good and bad, has led me to where I am, and where I am isn't bad at all.
But if I could go back and make a different decision to save myself a lot of grief and anxiety, I wouldn't have gotten married just because I thought it's what I was supposed to do. I had dated a lot of ladies and was not finding anyone compatible. Until I came across my ex wife. Educated, great job, we got along great, good family situation. So I figured marriage was what I should have done. It ended in cold and bitter divorce after only a few years. The whole process was so invasive and had me losing hair, sleep, and a LOT of money. It was the worst couple years of my life.
But like I said, it got me to where I am now.
