You know, Beckie, I am not one to bother you too much. I generally refrain from posting to you (compared to others), but I must say that this simply shows your breathtaking lack of maturity (spiritual and otherwise).
I would think, given your background, that you would have learned a little something about a Christ-centered marriage by now.
So, when you're forty (and you WILL be...one of the little ironies of all this) and your husband dumps you for a sophomore snow bunny, get back to me. I'm sure you'll blame it all on the "chip on your shoulder".
The fact is, most - if not all - of the women you seem to be alluding to have very happy marriages with very satisfied and happy husbands.
If you're going to make statements like this and do Monica Lewinsky-style flirting with men in their forties and fifties, I know I'm not the only one here who would very much appreciate you requesting a new screen name. Please. That's all I ask of you.
This could get me banned, I suppose, but that's all right. If I got something through your head, it's worth it.
Quite an alarming thought process coming from a pastor's daughter.........quite alarming.
A good many men that marry younger women leave a wife and children in ruin. It has more to do with selfishness than anything else.
I wouldn't know, I've been married to the same man since I was 21 years old, but my experience tells me that women with your pestering nature are often the first ones left on the chopping block. At the rate you're going, you may never get far enough to find out
ATTN ALL MEN!!!
This thread has now become unsafe for those of us of the gentler sex. HIDE before they get UGLY!!!
Middle age women were once 20 years younger. Looks like you have something to look forward to.
wow, you sure cast judgements over a whole lot, don't you?
You weren't going on experience were you? Like, how old was your mom when she got married? Just wondering.
Often? Not hardly. I've been married 22 years and we don't have a single friend, including those that we've had since high school, that has married somebody in their 20's, or even has dated someone that young. We don't even have any friends that are divorced much less dumping their wives for sorority girls. When we do see a couple in a restauraunt or somewhere, and the man looks old enough to be her father, my husbands first thought is that it's a "paid escort".
So tell me, does your father pant after 20 something girls? I thought not. Is your mother a middle aged woman with a chip on her shoulder that your father would be much happier without? Would he dump her for a college girl? You know he wouldn't. You should try thinking before you spew trash such as this.
You say you don't date much, you should also try it, how will you know when you've found the "right one" if you have nothing to compare it to? You're living a Harlequin novel that Mr. Right is going to come riding along on his white horse and sweep you off your feet.
It might also help you to get over that older man fantasy you're having. I understand Larry's already married. Though "I am sure" his wife is probably a middle aged woman with an unbearable chip on her shoulder. Who knows, maybe you've got a shot after all...
