Is Christianity In Trouble?

Oh, after everything women have put me thru in my life, I doubt anything you could say would hurt my feelins. As a man on his third marriage, I'm happy to own up to the mistakes I've made in past marriages/relationships. Especially my BIGGEST mistakes, the ones where I chose the wrong women! In retrospect, those divorces were the best things that ever happened to me, but it was just a damn shame that those lessons were such painful ones to learn. My current wife is a wonderful woman, best I've ever had, and I count myself lucky to have her. But there are times, and I'm sure everyone has these, when I wonder if I wouldnt just be better off alone. Admittedly, those are the times when we're having one of our now rare heated arguments. But yes, my life is indeed better with her in it. I will say that during my years in the Army, I lived with as many as four different men at a time in one room in the barracks, so I know what thats like. And I seldom had any trouble with them. Everyone had a healthy respect for other people's boundaries.

After everything my ex put me through in my life (16 yrs i gave him!) nothing could hurt me. I toughened up to something I would have never dreamed I could ever become due to his "abuse" That one divorce and only divorce I ever had was the best choice I ever made in life next to having my 2 children. My current fiance is the best person I could ever ask for, ask latenight and rhertz they know him personally, great guy! I have never lived with women and would chooose never to do so if given the opportunity I like men too much hahahaha

In reality as I said it goes both ways, I'm sure there are worse stories out there than mine or yours we are just sharing our horrid experiences where some may not.

LOL yup, Scarlett's fiance is alright in my book. However, when it comes to Al's past wives.. I can tell you all straight up.. IT WAS LIKE WATCHING A TRAIN WRECK IN SLOW MOTION !!!

I've been married so long, I forget what it was like to be single

Al and Scarlett...isn't it great that the best is always saved for last!!!!!! I am very thankful for the husband God has blessed me with this time and glad the first one is somebody else's problem. The jokes on her now!

I am unfortunate enough to be alone at the moment and have been for about a year now. I haven't had the best of luck with women over the past year. I've been stood up on dates at least 3 times over the past year and it's really beginning to bug me. Most of the women I meet talk about how they want guys that won't play games and they turn out to be the players themselves.

Oh well, I'm only 24 and I've got time to look around.

Well I will say from experience and also from knowing about 10 other couples, look for an older woman. I am not saying 40 since you are only 24 but try 30 or so. Not all 30 yr old women are mature but most seem to know what they want by that age. The younger women these days like to tease, play games etc. and are still unsure what they want.

I am the older woman by the way in this relationship, he was 23 when I met him and I was 30

You might consider yourself fortunate Anime. Any girl who is going to be rude enough to stand someone up is not the girl you want to date or spend any time with. You are only 24 and most girls 24 are only interested in the chase at this point. There are some out there who are not but those are few and hard to find. They are the rare jewel. That is the girl you want to look for. Take your time, lots of it and you'll find her. I wish you the best, you seem to have a good heart and for us girls those are hard to find in men as well.

This is all so true. When you do find the right one you will definitely know it and it will be when you are least expecting it. No one is perfect we are all human but there are still some great people out there looking for the samething you are. Be patient it will happen quicker than you will know.

Good luck

That is really wonderful not many can say that these days. I know I personally tried to make mine last praying daily for him to change. But as we know everyone has a will to do what they want and he chose the opposite of what I wanted.

My life is wonderful and wouldn't change it if you paid me to.
