What’s a time you ignored your gut — and paid for it?

I was angry. I was broken… I married my 3rd wife because she was significantly hotter than my 2nd wife, whom I gave up everything to be with just to find out it was all lies. Wife #3 also had kids, which wife #2 gave up in her divorce -and had regretted it every day afterwards.
I knew it would piss wife #2 off that not only did I upgrade on looks, but also with an instant family, which she no longer had.
To be blunt, I royally fucked up. I knew she was bad news long before we married. She was an alcoholic with severe anger issues. Her kids were also highly damaged. I pushed on because I was too focused on punishing wife #2 than caring for my own mental health. It cost me more than I was prepared to lose in that moment and in the near future.
It does help that neither of them have improved their positions since our respective divorces. One has even been to jail at least once -so that makes me happy.
