I read stuff like this, and I look heavenward and thank God I will never have to go through the dating scene again.
I feel for guys these days. I know quite a few single men who would love to find a girlfriend. Or just go out on a date. I know very few single women who don't have already have a boyfriend. Bad odds, gentlemen.
Somewhat related, The VP and I were talking the other night about whether or not we would remarry if something happened to other. I don't think I could. I just can't imagine finding anyone else who puts up with my sh*t like The VP does. Plus, that would imply that I'd have to let someone besides The VP and my OB/Gyn see me nekkid. Not happening.
The VP didn't have an opinion. He's much more the "I'll cross that bridge, should it arise" kind of guy. I did tell him I think it would be helpful for him, especially if the boys were young, to find another wife. I added that if she was too good-looking, didn't worship my sons, or tried to wallpaper over my portrait which would be painted on the livingroom wall in memoriam...I'd haunt him from heaven, and when he died, the only way he'd get in is with a fake beard and Groucho Marx glasses.
I then told him he'd just be better off to jump on the funeral pyre with me.
He said, "Um, no. But I'll be sure to bring my marshmellow sticks and the boys and I will have s'mores in your honor."
Sigh. I'm just going to have to outlive him.
