Reply #23: I tell ya what- your "Prime" is where and when you find it.

I would have gladly skipped all my past relationships
in return for my current one (Over 8 years now)...
because they all ENDED, and that's always less fun
than being ALONE in the first place, y'know?

The only reason I don't regret my past relationships, or the
long spaces between them, is because it all played a
part in making me the man I WAS on the day I met my Sweetie-
the man she fell in love with.

If I had had a different life, I would have been
a different person. MAYBE a person she wouldn't have
liked quite as much, or even liked at all.

Hell, If I had had a HAPPIER past, I probably
wouldn't even have been in this STATE, let alone
in that room on the one evening she wandered through it
and caught my eye.

For that alone, I wouldn't change a minute of it.
