MikeY P the truth is sometimes people change and don't want the same kind of person they were attracted to when they were in their teens.

Well the good news is if she wants things to work you have about a 95% chance they will work with a good MC.

I get that. Just rambling I suppose. I was pretty much the same guy until my first kid came along when I was 27. Amazing how having a kid can change you.

Unfortunately, we are probably in the 5% group. She has no desire to see a counselor either with me or alone.

So Mikey P the reality is that if you love yourself and are happy in life the right people are going to want to be with you. Just like it says in my tag line.

I always felt deep down she didn't like the younger me so much because of her shy personality, maybe I was wrong.
you were wrong. Woman want to tame the beast. Jordan Peterson has some wise words in his videos. Check him out on YouTube if you haven't already.

One of my mantras "Do not be boring". Go do exciting things. Woman want some excitement in their lives, even if the do not admit it.

Just as an example, do you ride a motorcycle? If not, go take some lessons. Then rent one. Don't tell her about any of this. If you like it, then buy one.


She thinks she knows you. Surprise her.

There is a younger guy LFA that is also a good watch.


I don't know how far you have made it through my quotes threads, but this is good one:

Coach (RIP) was one of the great DBers.

So Mikey P we are going on your word that she wants to work on the marriage. Sounds like her ACTIONS say otherwise.
