Sorry for the hijack Lane but Josephs comments just keep hitting me in the face. Joseph, dude, why the obsession with the physical? You really are obsessed with it! Any woman you would consider dating has to be hot, thin, fit. Your wife being with a guy that is much shorter than you is her biggest fail? Really? I think you are so missing things. She didn't leave you because of your looks! People are more than their looks - much more. As we age our looks are going to fade. My grandfather was 6' 2' for much of his life. He died at 96 at 5' 10". That's just life. That hot 44 year old who weighs 128 pounds could hit menopause at 48 and be at 165 by age 50. What then? Dump her?

I really think your growth area is to explore what this is about with the superficial and exterior. If the new guy was a deadbeat dad or criminal or unemployed, for sure that's a comparison but he's shorter than you and not a mans man? You are so missing it. And a nurse? What, guys are not nurses? Or if they are they are not real men? OMG.

Again, sorry Lane I just didn't know how to address this elsewhere and have it make sence. Life is so much more than about looks - even though I totally want a hot looking sexy girl to hang out with but that is only a fraction of the picture.
