For those of you who didn’t check in on the thread about your wife or maybe your occupation........ What is your story ?? Are you divorced ? Never married ?? This is not meant to be judgemental...... I’d just like to hear from and include some information on the guys here that didn’t check in on those threads.......
So you're asking specifically about marital history?
Anything I guess..... anything you want to share..... I thought it was very cool to learn a little bit about the people who frequent here on the thread about wives and occupations.... Just thought it would be nice to include single guys too. Peace.
Not looking to pass judgment on anyone. I was married at the young age of 20 and was married a long time. I’m on my second go around now.... for 12 years now .... My wife and I have 5 kids between the 2 of us...... one together......
Married 13 years. Two school age kids. Started later than most but it was the right timing for me.
Way to easy to steal identity with all the questions...especially when answered true, like a real man should, especially on a public forum where anyone in the world could see.

It’s no secret I love to make bacon, and teach others to do the same. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone actually does make a batch of their own. I’m hopeful as many as possible do.

Redoing my one hunting tower that coons got into and made a mess. Plus another tower I need to do a complete redo plus adding windows to keep the nasty coons out.
Have I mention that I hate coons. I'm going to trap the dickens out of them this winter to reduce population.
Do you have some Duke dogproof traps ?? They are easy to use and they catch raccoons !!!!

Rick,
That truly sucks. I can't imagine having to deal with that.
Best wishes, my friend!
Kyle
Married 42 years, known her for 47. One child. The rest is NOYB.
Iktomi, my worst dream all in one. My God you are a bigger man than I will ever be. I would not even be able to say it let alone live it. I do believe there is a purpose for your pain. It’s to show the rest of us how silly our earthly struggles are when we have everything right in front of us but are to blind to accept it and to just simply live and love. People say it ,but they don’t do it everyday and that must seem so selfish to someone that would give anything to have that opportunity back. God bless.
I'm 35 and married my HS sweetheart 14 years ago. We have two sons who are 18 & 15. Yes, we had our kids young but it worked out well. We will be moving to a warmer climate as soon as the youngest boy goes off to college.
It was a long time ago.
It was a pretty dark time for me for a couple of years, but time and the right people came along and things got better. I can honestly say that life is good.
Rick...... I think knowing more about the people we talk to behind our keyboards here..... Can truly help us to be more civil with each other here. Thank you.
Iktomi. Wholly smokes, that's terrible. Good on you for finding a way forward!
"I can honestly say that life is good."
Wow. Your attitude made my day.
