LOL... I know the pain of denial too. ;>)
I married a great lady that is also beautiful and fun. She’s kept her promises to me, so keeping mine to her was easy.
I love women and I enjoy being around them, but for friendship, not for sex. Heck, my wife was my best friend long before we fell in love... 38 years ago.
If I had wanted, I could have cheated on my wife every day of the week, but I couldn’t do that to her, an frankly, I couldn’t do that to myself.
All, or most men understand what it’s like to be a man, and they understand the strong drives that many of us have. For some of us, a promise, an oath, a vow, a contract, a commitment, our word is our bond... and for us old schoolers, even a handshake really means something to us.
My grandfather-my childhood and lifetime hero, (rest his soul), once told me that there is one thing that nobody can take from you, your integrity. That you have to give away and once gone, you can never get it back.
My grandfather taught respect for the ladies..... he loved them too, but he was an honorable man. Even to this day, I open doors for ladies and I make them all smile, to do anything less would be an insult to my grandfathers memory.
LOL... Having a public chat about some of this stuff has got to drive some gals nuts... to know that we’re out here... but we’re already taken. LOL
Hat tip to the ladies....
I married someone like you 25+ years ago, and only hope that my daughters will find someone has honorable as their father. Hard to do now days, though. Not as many young men around who have been taught these enduring values. (or women either for that matter.)
