Is having a woman in your life overrated?

[funlover12]

they really want people to marry.

I heard a while ago theres a good reason for it, something like wanting to be able to trace family trees n stuff so we dont end up inbreeding or should I say that the possibility is reduced. sounds a lot like communism that one. good in theory.

Maybe you didn't allow each other enough space ? I think its important that both people can enjoy doing things independently of the other and not have to account for themselves all of the time.

she was clearly an empty gold digger, surprised it took him so long to notice, actually he probably noticed but just settled into treating the relationship like an escort and moved on when got bored.

Nothing at all got to do with it.
The people we were at 18 when we met were totally different to the people we were at 47.
We both had our own interests , hobbies and friends.
We just wanted different things from life once our kids were reared.

Do you think I was not aware she was a gold digger and maybe looking for a passport.
I could well afford the shopping trips, holidays , nights out etc but I got a lot out of it as well.
Regular fantastic sex , someone to wake up beside in the morning and a bit of company.
Plus it made me feel good to have a beautiful younger woman on my arm.
I used the relationship to help me adjust to single life.
Sleeping on my own is the only regret from my divorce.
It's not the sex just the feeling of having somebody in the bed.
I may be a lot of things but naive and foolish are not 2 of them.

Can't help but feel a little envious. Confirms my opinion that marraige is only for the rich.

I was lucky
During the boom I had 35 people working for me.
Bought property and has cash in the bank.
My separation came at the right time for me financially.
In 07 property prices were still high and we had to sell everything ( except the family home)
And split it 50/50.
I kept the business , but that dropped to me and 3 employees.
So I ended up with an apartment and cash I the bank and a small business , which I had to work hard to keep afloat.
Things on the up again with 10 employees , but I'll never go back to the size it once was.
Too many overheads and too much hassle.
Marriage is what you make it and I had a great one for 20 or so years.
Never once cheated in all my married years and never felt the need to.
We all change over time.
