[Superman]

For nearly 23 years I was married to a woman virtually my opposite. I am optimistic to the point of being Pollyanna. I think the world is my oyster. Most everything is good.....or at least amusing. I see possibilities. I gloss over other peoples' poor decisions. The world is a very exciting place.

She was just the opposite. Everything was always going wrong and I was the main problem. Eventually, it became emotionally difficult for me to be at home, in the house. It was just a bad environment. Bad vibes. I spent lots of time outside and in the garage. Eventually....she left me. I am really grateful for that.

Today, there is nobody in my home to tell me what's wrong. What's bad. Peace. Ahhhhh! My current GF loves to do stuff. She works harder around the house than I do. Never, ever whines. She solves problems. Very capable. This is a HUGE change from the last one who was helpless in every area except shopping. The new GF brews beer and we both love IPA's. Excellent cook. She is ALWAYS eager to do the Wild Thing and especially loves delivering BJ's. Ahemmmm.....we're talking complete BJ's here, to the finish. Life is good.

It's been five year now since my marriage imploded. I am still healing. Verbal abuse is abuse. It hurts, and it inflicts damage. I am lucky to have come out with most of my self-esteem intact. But again, some damage was done.

Can you guess what suggestion I would offer you?
