3. Over ME? You gotta be kidding.
I think the only reason I ever landed in a great relationship at all is because
my wife is both nearsighted and a dedicated social worker.

That having been said, she has stuck with me for 35 years now, and even though no
women has ever made a move on me (that I detected, anyway), it has been many years
since I cared one way or the other.

4. "It has been many years since I cared ...
... one way or the other."

Your entire post is one of the most romantic things I've ever read.

I think maybe she invested 35 years in a great catch - and knew one when she saw one.

8. Nance, you are too kind.
I think it's more the fact that she didn't see me too clearly at all (she always forgets where she left her glasses)
that was my biggest lucky factor. By the time she got a good look, it was too late, and force of habit had set in.
The "great catch" was all on my part, and I would be an idiot to claim it never dawned upon me.

Some ask if I play the lottery. I say there's no reason to: every morning that I wake up next to that dazzling smile
of hers, I'm reminded that I already won.

5. My dear Bucky...
I'd forgotten it, but yes, two men competed for me many years ago...

I always hope that the one who lost me found someone even better for himself. He was a sweetheart and really deserved to be happy...

6. Yes, yes, a thousand times yes...
.
I wish they could accept the fact that I love them both.
.
There's enough of me for them to share.
.
In fact, the more they love me, the more of me there will be for them to love.

7. Yes, but it wasn't nealy as awesome as TV and Movies had led me to believe it would be.
The entire thing didn't amount to much more than a
"tersely-worded discussion".

No hitting, no hair-pulling, no blouses torn off,
and NO ONE got caught up in the heat of the moment
and started kissing their adversary.

Imagine my disappointment.

9. Oh God, yes. Dozens of times. And it was so inane.
Eventually law enforcement officials were involved to separate and incarcerate the parties involved.

I had to leave town for several months.
I was offered the witness protection program, but I thought that a bit extreme and declined.

While I was away from the conflict (in Taos, NM) I once again became foolishly involved with more than one anamorata and suffered the whole scenario again.

It's my curse.
:-(

10. once, when the wife caught me with my assistant
It was quite the scene:

Wife: You son of a biscuit-eating bulldog.
Me: What the French, toast?
Wife: Did you think I wouldn't find out about your little doo-doo head cootie queen?
Assistant: Who are you calling a cootie queen, you lint-licker?
Wife: Pickle you, kumquat!
Me: You're overreacting.
Wife: No, Bill, overreacting was when I put your convertible into a wood chipper, Stinky McStinkface!
Assistant: You Hoboken.

13. Two neighborhood girls
I was 8/9, they were a year younger. They each brought me a silver dime as a token of their affection. Then they both moved out of the neighborhood :cry:

14. Yes, I sadly found out AFTER
Two girls at my cooking table in high school. I found out after they both hated each other and were both vying for my affections..... little did they know I was too scared to talk to either!

17. Yes, actually.
One nice man from Nigeria who is divorced. Unfortunately through devious means his in-laws got custody of his child(ren) and needs to hire a lawyer. Now doesn't your heart go out to him.

Another nice gentleman, hmmmmm . . . from the same area I think, wishes to start a business and of course I would be his business partner. Just have to come up with a few hundred $k.

I am blessed. :sarcasm:

19. When I was 16 years old.
My parents made me break up with my boyfriend of two years, because they felt that we were too serious, and they wanted me to "date around" to "see what else is out there". We were both devastated.

Summer of 1985 (about a week after the breakup) - he and I both went to the same summer camp. He was there, I was there. Another dude was hitting on me, but I had no interest in him, whatsoever. My former boyfriend saw this guy hitting on me, words were exchanged, punches thrown, and four other guys had to break it up. Even now, I cringe when I think back to that time.
