Singleness

I was married for 36 of my 72 years. Sixteen the first time and twenty the second. They should have a merit badge or something. Hahahaha...

Being single has it’s pros as well.

You don’t have to share donuts.

For real! There are certain ladies at work who... well, they aren't ladies. There are certain women at work who make me downright cheerful about being single. Sure I haven't found a good wife yet, but thank the Lord I'm not married to one like THAT! Sometimes I clock out in a good mood, just because I'm so glad I am single.

Where is the multi-quote button? I could have saved a post and replied to this one while I was replying to Maxwel's post.

Being single has a lot of upsides. One of them is I am not responsible for somebody else worrying about me. For example I am exercising on a bicycle, with the goal of building up to biking to work every day. Work is 15 miles away. If I had a wife she would be going nuts about this. As I am single, I don't have to worry about all the worrying she would do.

There are so many married people who wish to be single again. Some even pretend to be single. Singleness is awesome.

You at least deserve a Purple Heart. My history in marriage is a little shaky too.

First - 6 years, 6 months (divorce)
Second - 11 years, 2 months (death of spouse)
Third - 3 years, 6 months (currently happily married)

That adds up to being married 21 of my 63 years. That is 1/3 of my life. You and I are certainly not novices on marriage.

There will not be a fourth wife.

Yes tourist, one thing I did well was played the role of husband and father. Even my two step-kids still look at me as dad. They were 12 and 10 when I came into their lives. I must have done something right.

I'm sure that you did a lot of things right, same as myself.

NOOOO you gotta have liie 40 kids so they can have like 5 a piece then you'll have like 200 grandkids and you'll repopulate the world with God fearing babies?
