Hi Fred, I so agree. Get your wisdom as you age. There is a saying " youth is wasted on the youth". When

you are young, you just want to have a good time, feel that you know it all. My dad saw that my first

husband was not for me. i refushed to listen, I thought I was in love. It was not love, now I know.

I have now with my second husband ( after my father meet him) a loving fun relationship. He looks after me

and my daughter and her two children. Her father does not even write or call her. It is his lost. Our sonwe have together, I explain enjoy yourself , girls and babies, not going anywhere. Plus he sees his

sisters ( my husband has two girls from his first marriage) having a hard time.t

Life is what you make it, and having the right person to make it with.

I joke with myself about looking for my third husband but I haven't found number one yet. My six year relationship could count. My ex gave me cards with wife in it not long after we got together. That relationship traumatized me in getting in another relationship. Last year around this time I went on a couple of dates with a guy who probably was homeless. Our dates were always at a park and he couldn't afford to pay for his meal at Chipotle. Then my strokes happened so my dating life (which isn't much) went on pause. I talked about this with my best friend today. She said I choose to be alone. I said no I don't mind dating but I make bad choices like the guy I met last year and then I had a stroke. She couldn't say much after that! Stroke talk always throws her off. But for us we are in our thirties never been married and talk about why aren't we married with kids like most people our age. But that's how it goes with some people. Not everyone has the same path. We just have to make the most with what we have and hope that there are no cats involved...

Punch, 

Thanks for your comment on my blog, with the picture you posted I didn't know who you were but I understand how you feel about relationships because they can be hard to manage man or woman and that's just how life goes...

I try to think ahead but I remember back too on how life was with me and it's history now but I'm a happy man that will not let the stroke change me mentally just physically as I get better and stronger in time....

Don't give up on finding the person you may be with the rest of your life just take your time after all that is all we got left is time....
