I am the happiest I could ever be or have ever been in my current married situation. I am one of the fortunate ones who have actually found the one perfect mate for me. I have found the one woman God placed here on earth for me and I could not be happier. She also believes she has found the one perfect man for her. We thank our Lord almost every day for his goodness and generosity in finally allowing us to come across one another. When we first met however, I was the other man.
When I first met my current wife I was deeply married. I had been married for 17 years. I had two children, a new home, a solid 9 to 5 and a great dog. I had arrived I thought. My wife and I had many problems; she wanted and was taking her independence. She did what she wanted, when she wanted to do and with whomever she wanted to do it with. I complained, she said too badly and I withdrew.

She left, I got on the computer, spilled my guts about what was gong on, heard all sorts of nasty reprimands, until one lonely voice came from underneath all the balloons popping up on my screen.
I know what you are going through. Was all it said. Then another one; I have the same problem. Just before she signed off we exchanged names and the rest is history. It seems at the same time I was sending my plea out into the nether world of the fledgling computer land, her man was telling her Hey, come here, you gotta talk to this guy. Well, she did, I listened, she listened, and here we are.
