Wow. 52 years. 42 years.
I have been married 13 1/2 years of my life and it took me 3 wives to do it!
I have been told that I am a great boyfriend but a really awful spouse. I concur. Let's go out, have fun, but at the end of the night, you go home to your house and leave me alone in mine. A woman I dated some maybe 8 years ago commented that I pay way too much attention to my dog. My reply was "That dog will be with me LONG after you have come and gone."
Funny. I never saw her again....
