Reply #11: Well I didn't used to until my third marriage

[pipi_k]

after years of bad choices.

Potential mate had to be a non-drinker (pretty much), non-drug user (totally), be financially stable (not RICH...just stable, FGS that's all I ask), feel kindly toward his mom, love animals, and be a homebody like myself. I'm sure there were other stipulations as well, but I don't remember right now.

What really sold me on the current (16 years) Mr Pip was that his ex in-laws all adored him. They still do. We see them a lot at family functions. He has a civil relationship with his ex wife and her husband (who was his best friend). And his three adult daughters think he's the best Dad in the world.


Took long enough, but the wait was worth it.
