      (((That just means that she has kept herself pure and chaste waiting patiently to be with me, folks.)))

       Wait, not pure, not chaste?  Wow, a feisty one with a shady past and lots of tread worn down on her tires!  I think I like that even better, folks!

  • My previous relationships were long ago, and they were disasters. I picked bad guys. Ten years from now I will have been with a good guy for 45 years. If we both live that long.

      Meh, I look back without a whole lot of regrets. There were times in my past when those "relationships" served their exact purposes: I wasn't after anything serious, meaningful or long term, I was always up front about it, so I sought out women who thought the same way.  There wasn't much to learn that I could or can apply ten years or more after the fact. Had I been hurt a lot, had my heart broken a lot, been betrayed, etc, I can see how lessons may have derived from all of that if I had been seeking  simething something profound, like marriage, but in my particular case, I was out to have fun and that's what I did.  The higher the bar of expectations, the more probability there is for learning and/or catching deep feelings.

    If you have no financial or family obligations then I see no point in staying in a relationship that makes you miserable . A relationship should enhance your life.

    In ten years, I'll be 82.  I'll be lucky if I can remember what a relationship is at that point!  However, I do have some VERY happy memories of the ones I've already had. :)

    Don't see what past relationships  would have to do with it.  I expect I will still be with my husband.
