I agree with you completely, BF. Your logic is impeccable. I have applied the same kind of logic to my situation and come up with similar conclusions.
a) My X is an intelligent man who knows me better than anyone since he was married to me for almost 2 decades.
b) My X believes that "no man can handle me" therefore I am bad wife material.
c) If I assign certain experienced and intelligent men on this BB the role you assigned GEL in your little proof, I would add the additional evidence that the reason "no man can handle me" is that I will always be trying to get a man to "top my top" and therefore make the fact that "no man can handle me" a foregone conclusion.
d) The fact that I was indeed a bad wife (of the deplete all manly energy variety) was made obvious by the fact that I left my X such a waste case at the end of our relationship that he had to check himself into a mental health facility.
Therefore, like you, in order to do no further harm to members of the opposite sex, in the future I must wander the sexual landscape only making superficial connections of the monkey-to-monkey variety. However, I'm thinking that instead of the 2 months for every year of marriage recovery rule, I'll go with the one new notch on my lipstick case for each year of SSM recovery rule.
P.S. D*mn you for dragging me out of lurker mode and thereby making me break even the minor commitment to myself to stay away from this addictive BB until I get my act together.
