Last year I played in a nine hole golf league. Most of the members were women old enough to be my mother. I found them to be very charming and enjoyed playing golf with them on a regular basis. I let my ladies know what's been going on when the season started but have yet to play with them. In fact I've been avoiding the course (we belong there) after playing a round and having thoughts of them playing golf together while we were married.
One of the women called me tonight and was very friendly and fun. She gave me lots of examples on how to move forward, saying to just toss out any love I have cuz a guy who does what spouse did isn't worth knowing. Her final advice.. "Kathleen, find a guy with kids, three.. four, maybe even five. He'll understand what it means to care for them. Make sure he has a big house. Remember, you know what to look for now."
It's odd.. when push comes to shove.. I can jump over it all to go where I need to.
