Been with my wife 26 years. One kid. We are High school sweethearts. Just had "date night" again last night where we had dinner/wine and watched the magical movie La La Land after. Just about a perfect night.
I chose that despite having three good friends texting me all day to go out for drinks. Two of them are divorced and newly single. The third has been a bonafied "will never marry" womanizer his whole life who I sometimes would envy a once in a while in our 20/30's when he'd get an 8 or 9, but now it is really getting old and sort of pathetic in our mid 40's.
One thing that sticks out to me from something the womanizer friend of mine told me like 7 years ago. I tried to boost him up one night after breaking up with one of his 2 month fling (a pretty hot waitress) by saying he gets hot girls all the time so cheer up. He told me something along the lines of "yeah hot girl here, next month I'll have another but you get to crawl into a warm bed tonight with someone who loves you and you the same. I'll never have that".
- phkahler 10y agoI was hanging around work a bit late one time. My phone beeped and I said "Oh crap, she's gonna be pissed that I'm still here". One of the other guys - a really great guy and engineer - looked at me and said "At least you have someone that gives a shit that you're late." He was single and nobody was going to complain that he was late that day. That helped put things in perspective for me.
