Lets say I've bitten my tongue as much as possible, as I could really unleash on this topic.

It would lead to unnecessary moderator time wasted, me likely banned, and nothing in real world will change anyway.

So yes feel free to PM me, no probs, but it's best I leave it to those with more impartial views than my experience to continue the discussion.

Your perspective on relationships changes as you experience more relationships. My first wife, I found I despised her gossipy and cheating qualities. My second relationship, I couldn't handle her aggressive behaviour when she decided to drink, which turned into starting at 10am some days. That's not living!

My next major relationship looked alright, but I think her partaking of too many puffs of MaryJane in the past made her paranoid, and I got scared to look above the bottom shelf in the local Coles in case I spotted a female in the same aisle.

Since I met my current wife, the number of cars and bikes has exploded stupidly. She will let me have anything I want, which makes me stop and think, "Do I really need it?" I've saved money by not saying no.

All she wants is for me to love her back. I'll cook dinner for the family, do favours for her friends, I'll rub her back, neck, shoulders. Just because she's a wonderful woman. If she asks about doing something, I'll find a way to do it for her. She makes me good, and I make her good.

And she's also repaired the relationships between myself and my kids from former relationships.

Sorry, she's made from unobtainium!

She didn't want me to sell my Harley I'd had for 10 years, but I did, she doesn't like bikes.

I bought a Japanese bike instead, because she said I should.

I spent thousands building up pushbikes that I've ridden over 10k on, but she's fine with that.

Edit: My wife asked for me to put skylights in the kitchen, so I did. It took me a couple of months, but she's happy.
Sometimes she has a breakfast meal with a girlfriend.
