Used to be married. Think it a fine thing if both honor their covenant.
Takes two to get married, only one to get divorced.
Am too old to put up w the boolsheet.
Got a GF and kids at home. Just as soon be alone.
Buy me a cool cat or dog and a truck. Good enough

Quite often a common impression of men, perhaps even more so of manly men, would be that they could not or would not share their feelings so openly. It is very nice to see that this is not true all the time. I am not married yet. I do hope that when I find my other half, that I will be blessed to find a man who will love and respect me as much as some of you do your wives some realize that most cases women marry beneath their station, men if lucky marry above their station. my wife and i have had some pretty serious things the last couple of months, health wise, that i hope resolve themselves. she made the comment today if something happens to her, i should find another one. I am sure she knows as i have told her enough times that is impossible, could never duplicate what she has been for me. If something does happen, most likely i will just become a hermit. Prayers for you both that things resolve themselves. God bless you both.

I was happily married until she passed away 4 years ago. Nearly 23 years together and suddenly, we weren't. Took me about 3 years to think about dating again, now I'm seeing someone and it seems to be working out.

50 years married and 53 years together come January 29.

24 years. Or as I like to say when ask, "24 years, but, With the wind chill, It feels like 40."
I say that in front of my wife. I say all kind of crap at work, because it's funny. Really funny to see those who don't know me look like I just slapped their mother.
It works, because it's total BS. Those who know us laugh. Because they know what a good woman I've got. Her sense of humor is one of her attributes. She lets me run my mouth, then she finds a way to flip it right back. Not nasty, fun.
Honestly, if I didn't have her, I don't think I would want another woman. I see what needy, catty, domineering, demanding bitches most of my friends serve, ain't happening with this cat.
I just hope she continues to stay happy with me, she deserves better.
For those who are less fortunate, I wish you success.

Yup.
We've been together 20 years as of last month. Married 18 and change.
Only things that rank higher with me are our kids.

February 1979, was when this journey started. Through a lot of challenges and some very physically, emotionally and financially draining years, we are still in love. 40 years, hmm, seems like yesterday, and always been at the same time. I'm blessed beyond measure with the woman God brought into my life.
My prayers for those here that are struggling with life's challenges, and may the good Lord bless you.

47 years, she has endured a somewhat different life and my long absences and raised 4 great kids. I am proud to have earned her loyalty and affection. She is blessed with a weirder sense of humor than mine and is smart and tough. I am pretty lucky.

54 years old and never married. There were two prospects years ago but fortunately the relationships never advanced to a marriage; either one would have been a disaster.
I’ve been with the same gal for over 10 years now. We each have our own place and live about 4 miles apart. It works well for us. Neither of us has been married or had children.

Thought long and hard about this thread, and the question posed all day. Some folks have different ways of dealing with things. Ergo some of my answers. But the bottom line is no. I’m not happy. Mater of fact I am completely phuqing miserable. And there’s really not a damn thing I can do about the situation except deal with the anger, bitterness, vitrol, and negativity as it comes and try to do as much damage control as I can.
I do still pray for you both. I do too.

My wife's way better than I deserve. She's beautiful a great mother and works her butt off for our family. As a matter of fact, she's painting in our living room as I type this!!

I deserved way better than what I got. But thats over and done. Glad some folks got good ones. Glad some folks got rid of bad ones.
I come from a family of smart, funny and good-looking women, decent ones too. So like a dumbass I thought all women were like that.
Nope.
Trusted some that were not worth trusting. Live and learn.
Would hate to be a young guy trying to find a decent gal in todays messed up climate

Yeah,...I got a good wife. I just have to drive her to the ocean a couple of times a year and she's happy enough.
Besides,....she can't go anywhere. The dog is in my name. She might get over me. But she wouldn't get over the dog.
