Must be something wrong with me - most my contemporaries (friends known from school and dancing, siblings, cousins) have been married and divorced , some remarried , some are even serial offenders (married and devorced and married again several times - not to the same man or woman though). I've been with the same girl since 1979 and married her in 1981. My elder child turned 25 last week. What am I doing wrong ? I've never strayed or even been seriously tempted (though I do enjoy window shopping). Edited by somerled, Aug 15 2008, 12:55 AM.

Congratulations to all of you. Somerled, Swidden and Minuet. Quite an accomplishment indeed. Somerled, quit window shopping. Your wife might throw you out of said window. |

Congrats on the happiness. I have 20 with my belle, 16 married. Single would be horrible. Congrats on your success. |

She doesn't seem to mind - so long I do NOT touch their "assets". Was pretty hard not to touch the assets the other day when we went to a restraunt here in Singapore and the platter was served on a totally naked chinese lady - she was the serving platter !! very pretty and shapely too .... umm , the food was to kill for . The tour included lunch at the IndoChine Singapore Nude Restraunt. I would post a photo but I think I'd be banned for doing so. Edited by somerled, Aug 15 2008, 10:13 PM.

Unfortunately the fully self contained holiday appartment we stayed in for our honeymoon (on the Gold Coast) was redeveloped about 10 years after stayed. There's a tall motel / shopping complex on the site now. We spent 3 weeks at the Gold Coast and never once went to the beach for a swim or sunbake. We spent our wedding night in our flat (which was on the hill at Nesca Pde in Newcastle and while the flat is still there , it was like living in broom closet it was S-M-A-L-L ! ! ! ! (one bedroom , I've stayed in motel rooms bigger !!). And the driveway was S-T-E-A-P , we were in the flat near the top - great view of the city lights at nighttime from our living room window was about the only thing it going for it , other than the reasonable rental ($70 per week including water and electricity and fully furnished if I remember correctly). We only rented for 9 months (6 months as married couple) then I bought the house we still live in. Edited by somerled, Aug 16 2008, 12:32 AM.

Man, I feel sorry for all of you! --Just kidding. Congratulations all. Actually I feel sorry for myself. I'm going to drink a whole bottle of wine now. Be back later in an intoxicated state.

Congratulations Somerled. There is much to be said about a man who can stay faithful to his wife for that long or always. |
