So after my latest split from my GF,...two years cohabitation this time,...I've decided at 40yrs old and with no real desire to do that again,..and homeless since the split,..I'm gonna do what most car guys would love to do especially the ones with irritating females I'm gonna build an apartment onto my shop,..a 30x40 pure man space,..huge shower,...nice deck to to drink beer and cook meat on,...and obviously have all my "more important than me and our relationship" stuff just steps away!!,....that's rite all the beer drinking and wrenching that a guy can stand. Won't cost much since I can do most things or have friends in every blue collar field there is,...will have a nice space fenced in for my best friend to run around in too. Maybe I can get some work done without all the time being absorbed by getting bitched at for whatever the reason haha
I did the say 37yrs. ago & been happy since. The ONLY "Honey Do Lists" I do now are the ones I make for myself. Got extremely tired of playing the games. No matter what you said was wrong or twisted into things you really didn't say or had in mind to do. Tom T.
So they are all the same,... selective hearing,.. selective memory,....etc etc,..but yea I'm just over it the fun part isn't worth the pain in the ass part
I've been an "unrestricted free agent" for more years than I can remember. Life has been quite good. Really quiet too.
To each their own, I can relate to the game playing, but after more tries than I care to mention, I found the right one. 34 years and going strong, I wouldn't trade her for the world! Bob H.
Do it! If there's one thing I regret in life is that I didn't get to live out my dreams and do what I really wanted to do, I had to do the "right thing" because of female persuasion and pressure. I really can't say marriage has had any redeeming qualities for me at least, and I would have probably been better off as a "free agent". As an old mechanic once told me; "Anyone who claims he rules his own household over his wife is either a Lion tamer or a lyin' bastard, and I don't see any whips or chairs."
Not in my younger years of partying too much. Took me until about Ethan's age to begin planning for my future. I forgot the ubiquitous "honey do" list my married friends keep mentioning. I don't have a house full of crap and knick knacks purchased on whims either.
I stayed single until I was 42. No regrets. Now I am in Bob's camp. Yes, marriage is a compromise (or a series of compromises), but can be well worth it with the right person. I admit, I am jealous of Hugger, but then again, I wouldn't trade places.
Bob the women in your age bracket are a different breed,..like my mom for example,....the women born after 1980 are completely bonkers
Exactly they know they hold two things you want,..one of which you desperately NEED and that's your sanity!! The other you can do without haha,..do they know how to get what they want especially now that they have been"empowered" you can't win ,..they get to be as crazy as they want with no fear of repercussions,...I've done it long enough,...I'll pass
Everyone lives their own dream in their own way... More POWER to ya!!! Have you watched the "Hot Crazy Matrix" on YouTube??? You should... it's GREAT laugh... and TRUE! Been hitched 37 years now... still figuring it out -MIG
