Do I really have say "There are more than enough great women 5 to 10 years younger who want to date me - I don't really want to be involved with someone who's wrinkled and two steps away from menopause?"

$#%& that, I love women in their 40s. Typically they are confident, sexy, and more carnal and less inhibited. They also don't play games. I'm only 31 but give me a woman 10+ years any day.

No really, please, any day.

^^I disagree with your disagreement, PP. I'm a DH trying to convince my DW not to buy the xbox one, crazy enough. in a world where we barely have enough to cover expenses and debt, want to travel and cant, and have held other long-term, better goals than a damn game system, what would I rather spend $500 on?

i'm the sole provider in our home and handle the finances. having DW want it so badly when we can't really afford to get it just builds resentment in me.

He should take a depression test, maybe rule it out as a cause. I did this with my DW sometimes and it was definitely a result of depression. No matter what, seems like he needs to talk to someone so he can learn to express himself.

I feel quite the same as the PP; DW and I have grown close to a couple and I find myself connecting more quickly and deeply with his DW than I do my own! She's not even my physical type at all, but she strikes me as more adventurous, spontaneous and a more sexual than my own DW. I'm great friends with her DH though, and the absolute mess it would create... not going there, just agreeing with other posters. It's odd when it happens but just something ya gotta deal with.

I kinda want to hang around them more often primarily so this woman rubs off on my DW, gets her out of her shell some!

He procrastinates getting ready to go in the morning such that everyone is late, gets really defensive if I gently remind him of what time it is and what time he said he would be ready to get out the door. For a while, I tried organizing the mornings totally independently of his schedule, but that's not always possible.

Right now, for example, it is 8:16 and DD is playing with toys on the floor while we wait for him to get dressed and get out the door. I told him I needed to be out the door no later than 8 in order to drop DD off at school and get to work on time. At this rate, I am going to be late. I am an hourly employee so I get docked if I come in late and have to make up the time at lunch.

I knocked on the bathroom door to ask if he would be ready soon and he snapped at me.

My wife does EXACTLY this same thing. It's incredibly frustrating.

I kiss her goodbye every day i leave the house for work. done it every day of our marriage.

I'd be lonely as hell b/c she's by best friend. I'd try to fill in the time with other things and other ppl, but I know it wouldn't be the same.

In the long haul, I don't see myself remarrying. I did it, it's great, she's great, don't think I'll find another comparable again, and frankly, I don't want to go through the effort of trying. Spending time together, being intimate, etc., is way different than building a life together. I only really want to do that with my wife, so if she left, I wouldn't try it again with another. I'd try to just build a life on my own.

Too bad she is too young for me

A 36 year old could comfortably be with someone 25 (36/2 +7) up to 58 ((36-7)*2).

This. I'm 31 so I could conceivably date a woman as young as 22 and as old as 48. But I definitely prefer the 37-45 year old woman...

jeez, ppl are fairly aggressive and uptight about tobacco. I used to be the same way, until I tried cigars/pipes.

most of the pp seem to be against tobacco but don't realize that not all tobacco is made alike. cigarettes are very different from pipe tobacco, as are cigars. ask anyone who smokes the latter two.

most of cigarettes have additives that are toxic, carcinogenic, etc. tobacco no matter the type, isn't GOOD for you, but in moderation it won't kill you, nor is it very addictive.

Cigarettes, on the other hand, I will always avoid due to the heavy additives and addictive nature. I'm gonna go smoke my pipe now

My DH smokes cigars/pipes and I loathe the smell with the heat of a thousand suns plus I'm allergic. He has to shower and brush his teeth before he can come anywhere near me again.

Hell yes I find it sexy. I think a woman can do it without looking... well, man-ish. More the cigar than pipe. The cigar looks sexy for semi-obvious reasons...

so you don't like the pipe smell? maybe he needs a better smelling tobacco? not all smell the same, though I can understand the cigar smell; i like to smoke them a little but hate the way i smell afterwards.

Plus he has a history of lying w/this guy.

And that's because you are being a shrew about it. This isn't about him lying. This is about how fucking out of line you are and have been. You ARE trying to control his movements and his associations, and it is despicable.

LOL this has got to be the DH.

Even if it is, doesn't mean he's not fucking right. Some wives need to back the hell off. When you try to control a man, he just gets wilder. Show him you trust him, expect alot of him and he'll rise to the occasion. Treat him like a boy you'll get him acting like one.
