Doing some reflecting this evening which is always scary.
I really think Dan is better suited to being single. I know he has had these affairs, but neither has been permanent (that I know of! ) and I know he had drama with the more recent one as she got attached/needy...
I think he would be best off as a bachelor playing with his cows and his kids in his free time. And if he got lonely for a lady, he could go to the strip club or rent a bad movie or just pick somebody up for a meaningless fling. No commitment no NEEDS to take care of...
That sounds terrible. It would be okay for a guy who was single to begin with, if that's what he wanted. But for a married 35 yr old father of two, well, it's disappointing. But still true. I don't think he could be in a successful relationship with anyone, unless they just wanted him when it was convenient for him. Which wouldn't say much about the lady in question...
OK enough time thinking about that. Off to start reading "The Shack" before bed. I heard it is good, it is the first non-'fix your life and/or marriage' book I have picked up in a year...
