Tittle pretty much sums it up... I got home from work and she was in the phone talking with one of her friends. My fiancee was involved in several toxic relationships through her teens and 20s, last one lasted 3 years from which she had one child. When we started dating her child was 2 years old.
They were talking in the phone and she seemed a bit nostalgic about the thrill in her previous relationships. Then she said to her friend that being a single mom is the main reason she believes lead her to dating someone this different from her previous relationships. Before, she said, she was all about emotions, adrenaline, etc. whereas now she looked for something more calm, a better environment for her child. She also mentioned this was the most "pleasant" relationship she's ever had.
