hat's one thing I really liked about GP - how he stressed that what you were willing and able to put up with from your 2bx to keep your family together is proof of how strong you are and what a positive capable person you are. So many women in your position would not have been able to keep their sanity and self confidence like you have.
Thank you. I liked GP too. I hope I haven't made it seem like he was some kind of easily-dismissed Lothario. He not only admired my cow, he actually eroticized her. He was always saying stuff like "Yeah Baby, if I had met you when I was 32 and you were 22 we would have had 4 or 5 pretty little babies and when I came home from work I would have said 'Baby, call your Mother to come watch these babies and put that food you cooked away. Put on that nice red dress because I'm taking you out tonight.'" My persistent sexual fantasy while I was dating him was a vision of a young barefoot me wearing a simple house dress that was tight across my breasts hanging up laundry on a line in an urban backyard surrounded by a chain link fence and I'm being stared at.
