... Been single and alone for 12 years now. I have 4 awesome kids and 8 grandkids that are all my biggest blessings. My cars mostly got put on hold so my kids could go to college. Maybe someday I'll meet the right woman.
Still no regrets here.
When my first wife left, I was numb for about a year. Then I would not even look at women for another year, figuring they were all like the first wife. Started going out with a friend as his "wingman", and quickly decided there was no one worth spending time with. I thought I was safe. Swore off women. Cowboy action shooting or going to the drag races and car shows with friends on weekends. Taking my three kids to South Dakota every summer to visit my Dad. Then my 2nd wife decided she liked me. About a year later she asked me to go to a Christmas party. After that we could not stand to be apart from each other. Still married after 26 years. Not worth getting married unless they are very special. Definitely not worth even dating unless they are very special. Don't waste your emotional capital.
