Hi Aimless,
My situation was very similar to yours, except I did not date any witness boys. I got mixed up with a worldly guy from work and I was disfellowshipped because I refused to give him up. My parents kicked me out of the house. Today I am married to the guy I got DF'd over, we have been married for 15 years and have two children. For two years, I was shunned by my entire family, they did not come to or wedding. I had no family on my side. My hubby's family disbursed around the room to make up for the lack of bodies on my side. I am VERY happy that I made the choice not to give him up. It has been a definite roller coaster, but we have a wonderful relationship now.
It has taken me a long time to be okay with my JW past, but now I am happy that I had the experience I did, even though it was not a good one. I know that sounds odd, but it's true. I've grown so much and I don't despise my past at all. I hope you can get to this point one day as well.
I'd be happy to talk with you if you'd like, sometimes it does help to just be able to bounce stuff off of each other. Feel free to send a message if you'd like.
Ashton
