“It isn’t my place to pry, so forgive me if I’m out of line. I once gave a man my whole world, and he left with it. I did it all over again with the next man. If it weren’t for my husband, I wouldn’t have survived it—life for a young woman such as yourself isn’t the same as it was for me back then. What I’m saying is that there are good ones out there. But just because one person isn’t as bad as the other doesn’t make them any good.”
