He ws my high school sweetheart, an American mix of Scots and american Indian, so he pegs my rahr meter even now that his hairline is at the top of his head. I can't really say anything about that, as mine has gone white - being that I'm so wise and all. (yeah right) I think my weight gain - and it was more than 30 or 40 pounds affected me more than him. I see everything through "fat" glasses, and it colors how I view myself. Financial issues, responsibilites, and just the daily grind can certainly take a toll on any marriage. We haven't given up yet, marriage is work. The bottom line - he is my soul mate; and even though he can get on my last nerve I love him with all that I am. We just keep working on it one day at a time.

If my 2nd wife and I had stayed married we'd be in our 30th year and I would have been happy with that, but apparently she wasn't and moved on 20 years ago. My present wife and I have been married for 15 years and I hope it stays that way. But you never really know for sure. That's what I've found out in relationships. Now I'm too old for any more surprises so I hope I don't get any more--at least the ones involving ending a marriage.<br /><br /><br />Lee <br />An A to Z Co-Host <br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
