why relacionships dont'work.
I really need to proofread my remarks better. Bad spelling is a result of speed typing and really gets on my nerves.
I say we all go down to Sneako's for some BBQ and for some constructive lessons on relationships.
You'll have to catch me at the Sugar Bowl!

0Pam and I have a totally solid marriage...but it IS my 7th and her 5th. As for my first 6 "no-go" attempts, seems from my perspective that there were many different reasons for the failures.
One reason above all, though: I wouldn't "settle" and kept dumping the ladies until I found the right one. Took me until age 53 to Get 'R' Done, but finally succeeded in 1996.
(Note: We've been hooked at the hip these past 13 years, working on 14 now, and no other spouse lasted longer than 8 years. We'll have that doubled pretty soon, going for triple.) In my past relationships there have been a number of factors that have gone wrong, but I think the big one with the one I actually married was going ahead with the relationship even though I knew it was a bad idea. We all have that little voice in our heads, we need to listen to it.
As for me...getting ready for marriage #2, his #3, and this definitely feels like the last one...learning to honestly communicate with each other is another big one, and being willing to shoulder an equal load to that of your partner.
