I had to look long and hard to find Mrs Right. I was in my late 30s before we met. I practiced the catch and release method of dating for over two decades. On occasion I would catch what I thought was a keeper, but she ended up throwing me back into the ocean of other fish.

I remained friends with almost all of my former girlfriends. More than a few would call me when they had a car or house maintenance question. I had broken up with one chick but just one year later wanted me to accompany her to a car repair shop to be sure she was treated right. More than a few repair shops will recommend the muffler bearings and blinker fluid be replaced to a woman.

I don't have any malice or ill will towards any of my former girlfriends. More than a few figured I was a broke person back then and would never get ahead in life. It is satisfying to know that the only debt of any sort I have is for the company aircraft. We could see it for a profit or at least break even if we had to, but our company is doing great so it ain't for sale.

And being married for 28 years to Mrs Perfect is wonderful. Best of all, I don't have to do the dating scene. Never again. :D

Also agree with what Glen said & a comment in general. I've been through a ton of relationships - some fairly long term - and didn't marry the first time until I was 32 and again took a break of a dozen years after we went out separate ways. As I aged and went through relationships, I really internally realized people are discreet intities and are free to go on whichever path life leads them. That certainly included myself of course. This made it possible to let women go without regret or feel a need for retribution. They were just on another path. Lots of the time you realize later on (sometimes sooner than later) it absolutely was for the best. Just like business, education, and other endeavors, it's a chance to do better. Let her proceed along the path she chose and wish her the best.

I used to know a young woman named Karma. She was very sweet.

Karma's are not as plentiful as Dogma's....

dyount, no worries. They only way you can fix this thread is with, uh, pictures!

I keed.

Moving forward is life's best path, never steer, as they say in the Navy, by the wake.

Honestly, that level of cool is hard to attain. Well done. I have yet to snatch that pebble.

Are you a Shaolin monk:D

I believe therapists call those things 'unresolved feelings'.

Pics or it didn't happen

The years have not been kind to my ex, looks much older and heavier than her age. The, grandkids clearly don't like her nearly as much as they do myself and my current wife.


The ex was horrible for years, would take the kids out of town when I am supposed to be coming to spend time with them, would not answer the phone. Told the kids and their future spouses all sorts of horrible lies about me, tried to use the kids to hurt me. I always figured when they grew up, they would see how things are, and things would be fine. It has played out pretty much like that. One of my grand daughters actually cried when she found out it was going to be the ex babysitting, rather than me or my wife. Initially I found this sort of funny, but the more I thought about it, the more it struck me that it is not normal for a kid to cry when grandma is coming over. I am actually at the point where I pity the ex.

This is now a crazy x wife thread?
Which one do you want to hear about? Lol
As far as dating , alway remember .... crazy in bed, crazy in the head!
Although going down this path can be fun, looking back you realize you dodged a bullet.

Don't agree at all. If it's Joe Bob speaking then it's 'crazy redhead in bed, crazy in the head'.

Just give us the name of the magazine then to give us an idea.;):D
