Also married 30 years - but candidly, do you not regret those sexual excesses and the diseases you may have contracted, etc.? And how does your wife feel about it? Does she not secretely wish you had saved yourself for her? (No need to reply to me; such questions are between a man and his wife, and God).
I have no regrets about any of my 23 years as a Marine. My wife has never once asked me about my time before we met, and I never asked about her past. The past doesn’t matter to us. What matters is the 30 great years, 4 kids, and 9 grandkids. Had I not enlisted in the Marine Corps we would have probably never met.
