Page Turner Posted March 23, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2019 ...me missus tells me I've ruined her for other men. Then she laughs....pretty loud laugh, too. We both know she's thinking about the toilet seat incident. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted March 23, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 23, 2019 WoW's family has shown a propensity for sudden, fatal heart attacks! It has forced me to at least think about it. Not sure I would seek to marry again. I have a feeling I am on a "back burner" for 1 or 2 women if I was ever single.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randomguy Posted March 23, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 23, 2019 If I was in an old-folks home, I would bang as many of those old horny chicks as I could. I would pretend I was Parr8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want the hassle of trying to figure out the next guy's motives... it gets more complicated approaching into 60's to 80's. Every couple is different. Some people wouldn't even understand ours at the most basic level: For instance, I was always happy for him when he was cycling solo for months across the continent or overseas. It gave him joy meanwhile I learned to bike solo on and enjoy long trips locally. We always share each other's experiences of the day every day no matter where in he world each of us were...apart. And being together is always quietly joyful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee I am no one's back burner list. I like it that way. Life is simpler. Of course, this requires planning for the next 30 yrs. ? I was a little shocked to discover a guy I had dated over 30 yrs. ago before dearie, had died a decade ago. He and I weren't truly for each other.

I don't want the hassle of trying to figure out the next guy's motives... i My neighbor that isn’t Amish lost his wife to cancer. He was lonely and got suckered into remarrying someone that was after his money. She was a real witch, she was only married for a very short time but somehow managed to get half his money. He decided not to marry again. I don’t know what I would do. Probably the smart thing would be to wait until I’m real sure. I like being married but a lot of that is probably because I have the right partner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smart thing is to marry someone 30 yr younger with a nursing degree and and have a great prenup with power of attorney granted to someone you trust beyond the young strumpet. That being said, I think Parr8 is already married so maybe we have to encourage RG to go to nursing school. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was before we met. It would be nice to have someone to call if you crash your bike and break it or yourself. I guess it would work out. When I broke my hip my wife was there but a cop called an ambulance for me. When I hit the deers and broke my shoulder and collarbone I called for my wife to come get me but a guy in a pickup stopped and offered to take me to the ER. My last crash I rode my bike home with broken ribs and separated shoulder and then drove myself to the ER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
