Drew, by my estimate, my wife is about six months away from where your wife is if she doesn't wake up.

Tamashii...those teeth are so white you could see them from the space shuttle. Geez...why?...

Also, Tamashii, I think my wife has hooked up with her recently-divorced dentist. Yup. So she's having an EA with my former best friend, and now a probable PA with her dentist.

Jack, I know of Steakley but have not read the book. It is now on my list. As an aside, I'm a big Joe Haldeman fan, have an autographed copy of The Forever War. Other than that, don't read too much SciFi. By the way, love the pain quote...that's a keeper.

Funny thing about pain...I'm a serious amateur photographer...landscape type. One of my email buddies is a retired Nat. Geo. photog who critiques my work for fun. He has no idea what's going on in my personal life. He sent me an email today saying that my latest stuff is "very dark in feel, moody, lots of emotion. Love it. Some of your best stuff ever. Keep it up."

Anyway, as an initial self protection move, I drastically lowered the limit on the credit card. Fortunately, it looks like she's calmed down on the spending quite a bit. Probably because I didn't say anything about it. I'm sure if I had, she would have charged me into oblivion for spite...

Question: When long term marriages go south, is it because one spouse wonders what life would have been like with someone else? Do they have to see this life and reject it to come back?
