Women are complicated because they have: A) a layer of logic, B) laid across that a mood, and C) on top of that an ever-fluctuating stream of emotion. If men are like checkers, then women are like chess -- except the pieces are all kittens hopped up on catnip with broken glass taped to their paws.
I'm puzzled listening to my female friends tell me they don't understand men. This is like a rocket scientist telling you she can't figure out how a flush toilet works. Men are fairly simple; so how can we be so confusing to such comparatively complex creatures? How can women not already know these things?

Generally speaking, of course there are exceptions, I know. Kudos to you, I’m sure you overcame a lot of challenges and you deserve a lot of respect for never giving up and apparently succeeding. But you have to accept that you are an exception. So, generally speaking, never bet on a three legged horse. A missing father is a huge warning sign.
I’m joking, of course-those handcuffs had better remain for use only at work-I did not consider “50 Shades” at all romantic, etc...
THAT
Made me laugh.
The key is that I had a superb mother.

I read 3 of the 7 pages. Most of the article is not to the point, thus I stopped reading it.
Great post
To the point, how’s your husband?
You certainly must have. I as brought up to be self-reliant because I was a ranch kid-but also in case I decided to marry a military man and stay out in the country-as it turned out, I did...
I got ya on that...
1. Assuming emasculation works on all of us.
What empty box?
Two husbands and going on a third? Doesn’t sound like anyone should take advice from you. No offense. You can live your life like you want, but ...
Isn’t that the video where he says guys have boxes and the boxes don’t touch?
I'm so glad you said that.
I know a woman widowed young, with three little kids. There are several pictures of their dad around the house, in honored places (the mantel, the kitchen wall).
Their mom --- without being obsessive about it --- just casually mentions from time to time some positive thing about her deceased husband, and how she wishes he could have seen such-and-such a landmark in the child's life, or how the kids used to crack him up when he was with them, or how the child has inherited the father's long legs, his diligence or even his liking for onion rings or, humorously, his clutter and grime: anything connecting to the father.
She says -- and I believe it --- that this has been like the Word of Life for her kids. He didn't leave them: he still loves them. They know they had (and in heaven, have, in addition to the Father), a father.
Blew it with this one, and no, it did not last.
Chances are good that sex in their marriages ended with the kids being born, so the guys were just being polite hanging in there that long.
My 1st marriage lasted 20 years-my husband’s mid life crisis resisted all attempts at reconciliation and counseling-he had been entrapped by a much younger woman-one of the type we have been disparaging here-so was I supposed to shoot him to keep him from leaving? I don’t believe in making another’s decisions for them. He was dead just a few years later-killed by his new girlfriend’s husband.
My dearest MrT5 died an untimely death after 16 years of marriage-it was not supposed to happen. Am I supposed to mourn him for the rest of my life? Or perhaps I should have flung myself on his funeral pyre, suttee fashion like some women in India do, rather than meet another man to share a life together with-I don’t see it that way-I guess you can just call me black widow...
Girl, you have every right to be happy.
But better get number 3 home more often. Just sayin’...
Thank You! My cowboy and I first dated in college-his marriage came to a bad end, too-the shared experience of that is a big part of the appreciation we have for one another. We’ll have even more time together here after the 1st of the year when he travels a bit less with his work.
“And none of the knobs are labeled..”
Exactly. And just as you figure out what a particular knob does, its function somehow changes to something completely unrelated to its prior function.
