Perfect description IAKG!

I love the saying....."Tis better to have loved and lost, then to never have loved at all"!

I "fell" in love at a very early age. Most people would have said it was puppy love, but I say it was my first true love. I was only 14 but I was rather mature for my age. He, on the other hand, never really matured. But I stayed with "my love" for 9 years!

My next relationship.......I think back now and I see I "fell in love" with the idea of being in love. It's like a drug and I had an addiction at the time. I was 24 and I think I would have fallen for a boulder if it had of even looked at me sideways. My choice was a very sweet man. To this day I have hardly anything bad to say about him. The one thing that made me realize I wasn't the woman for him, though, was........he really had little interest in sex. I thought it was because of me for the longest time, and so I tried to "stick it out" for eight long years! Come to find out.....it wasn't me.....it was all inside him. And that was his ONLY downfall!

Now, I was once bitten.....twice shy.....or twice bitten in my case! I follow the rules of baseball in the "three strikes, you're out" theory. I was oh so cautious as I ventured out into the world again. And, damn if I wasn't bitten again. We are in our 15th year now and way back when we hit our 9-10 year mark I told him, "Better be careful what you say and do from here on in. Think of it like this.......with my record, everyday from here on in could be your last day with me!" LMAO! I don't think hubby thought it was all that funny though!
