I am separated since 2004 from my first marriage- in the process of finally getting the divorce. I have been with a woman for the past five years and most of it was bad. I want to remarry and have new children at 41 to her 22. I have a suitable candidate who I am sure will "go with the plan". Yet I have this five year relationship with this woman to whom I have no real connection to. I want to wipe the slate clean and start over all over again.
If you're a manic depressive you have no business getting tangled up with a woman, much less siring children.
I think the more important question, instead of entering a relationship like a contract that is suitable to you, should be... do you love her, are you willing to compromise as differences in opinions arise, will you treat her as an equal in every way?
Do you feel an emotional connection to anyone? I don't mean people you would rather exist than not because they serve a need or desire, but an actual emotional connection... to anyone.
There's a lot of questions here..... You have a 'suitable candidate' whom you're 'sure will go w/the plan'? Just not positive, huh? This sounds more like she passed the test, rather than a case of being in love. What does your suitable candidate say about your plan? Why are you in a relationship w/a woman you have no 'real connection' to? You're 19 yrs older than your 'suitable candidate' .... guys really need to think about that. Not saying all, but many women find themselves a bf around in their age bracket as their husband ages........ Well, good luck!
LOL From what I understood, he has a suitable candidate for a marriage who is 22 years old and another women with whom he has a 5 year relationship he wishes to end up.
so you really haven't been single for any amount of time in order to work out your problems that caused the first marriage to fail. And now you want to try it again with a mere child who PROBABLY has no idea what she's getting into cause she thinks love will find a way or some such bs. And then the added problem of your current live in woman who is probably putting up with the same habits that caused your first marriage to fail. It might be a good idea for you to take a moratorium from any relationships and work on yourself. and maybe your kids. and on top of all this, you post a quote by bill maher.
Yeah... if you are in a miserable 5 year relationship and you dump her for a 22 yr old, she might slash your tires... on your house. I keed I keed.
I originally meant she was 42, not 22. I was pretty drunk when I wrote that and have since decided drinking and posting don't mix. Lesson learned by me.
That kind of reminds me of this. Dear lord, please make the words that I utter today sweet and tender because tomorrow I just might have to eat them.
Ok ... she's 42. Did your 'suitable candidate' tell you she's willing to have babies at this age? You do realize after the woman's age of around 35, there's the risk of having a DS child? Does she have kids who are grown and she's willing to do it all over again? If so, brave woman .... little ones are a lot of work... for mom and dad......
