Yeah, I get it, the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I love my freedom but sure wish I had a real home to come home to sometimes.
Aww, sorry about that. I have/had 3 uncles, akin to Lake Woebegone's Lutheran farmers, who were/are lifelong bachelors. Sad to say, they remained so because my grandmother made it very difficult on them when they had girlfriend. Granny died and the 2 remaining ones have girlfriends...but they also still have the huge cattle farm and all its attendant work.
At least they have other nieces and nephews, all together, 10 of us who treat them like the awesome dads we wish we (7 of us) wished we had.
And just because they are single, the whole gay thing never ever came up. I hate it when that assumption is made, about anyone.
I love my freedom but sure wish I had a real home to come home to sometimes.

There are lots of nice, conservative women out there who would appreciate a smart, conservative man....
