Thanks for the reply MikeyMyke! I like candid, honest people. I don't judge back as someone from the outside might see things more clearly like yourself. I agree on the part of not looking overseas anymore. It truly is hard, the distance is the hardest part. Money can be earned again, your time and heartache you don't get to give/take back. I know she was a good woman but her reasons for taking so long escaped me. When I told her it was over, she barely went out with a whimper. Made it easier for me and the last few months the love felt like a rose dying. One pedal at a time falling off. I'm as white as they come but foreign women always been my preference lol. I actually met a woman here in Canada from Costa Rica. She's a permanent resident, so as you say, don't have to worry about that being their sole reason to be with me! Everything is going great!
I wonder on the part of them even recognizing it as a valid marriage too. I've never applied for anything since we got married and I had my house before we were together. Pretty sure I'm okay. I should consult a lawyer to be safe. Then I'll post here just in case someone else might be in the same situation! Thanks my friend

Edmonton FTW!!
