RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
I've been married for 25 years, all that time we split the chores 50/50. 2 can get the job done sooner. But after my wifes surgery she seems to need to go out more with our neighbor(female) and sometimes I feel left out. So now I can just about go anywhere on the bike. 3 of us almost made it to Canada, a trip we planned for a year but it fell apart. So we'll have to plan another. I didn't do too much riding this year after my wifes surgery cause I just felt hat as a good husband I should be home more but seems I was 90% wrong. So I'll be doing the Polar Bear rides again this year if the weather isn't too bad. And just to keep the peace, I get her flowers every now and then and make a romantic dinner for her since we never had that kind of time together bringing up 2 kids. Just don't ask about sex, after 25 years there ain't that much, lol

Women are not wired right. Brains just don't work right. I don't know how to explain it, but it makes no difference how good of one you get, they're still going to go psycho on you from time to time.
Can't live with them or without them, when they're good they're great, when they're bitchy, they can make you do, or want to do, the stupidest things in the world. I've never been on such an emotional roller coaster that a woman can take a man on. I'm not one to put up with a lot of crap, I'm basically an unemotional person, practical, solid, not given over to the winds of fancy, and women still screw with my mind somehow, like cryptonite to superman.
From the original sin on, I truly believe they are all just plain evil, somewhere deep down inside, but they don't want to be evil so they try and cover it up. It just comes out no matter how hard they try.
Enjoy your freedom till the next one comes along. There will be more, just get your mind prepared for the next one during your time off.

I love my wife man...and it took a HELLOVA long time to meet a good one..a really good one. I had to sift through a world of $hit before I found her..and now we have a beautiful little girl.
But I have to say..in our five years of marriage, it's been one thing after another. Today, my wife comes home from work...she works from home 4 days a week and goes to the office once...anyway, she comes home today and is crying. She procedes to tell me that she's got two very senior level executives telling her to do two different things. And she doesn't know which one to listen to. Actually, she thinks that she is being setup so that they have an excuse to fire her. She's been with the company for 12 years and is a project manager now. She is a great employee, and she thinks this new executive team just want to change everything, and she's one of the people that need to go. Now I don't need to go into too many details...but I've had terrible luck with jobs since I was laid off in 2002. So her salery has been very important to our livelyhood.
When I see my wife coming home crying because of what some douchbags are doing to her at work...the logical side of me says to her..everything's gonna be fine...get written accounts of what they're asking you to do and how those assignments conflict with each other...go to HR and explain the situation...and if all else fails, we can talk to a a labor law attorney if they do decide to let her go..because like I said..we think she's being setup. Then I finally tell her that the worst case scenario is she loses that job..we'll get by...Now...the illogical, emotional side of me sees my wife crying and wants nothing more than to drive right over to her office and wait outside for this "executive"...when he is leaving, I let him know that he's going to want to watch his back from now on because there could be some VERY bad luck coming his way. Of course, I know I can't do that..especially considering that I have a little girl now.
Anyway..the point of my rambling is that as much as I love my family, and as much as I always wished I had such a great wife and kid before it happened to me....Right now, I envy you dude. Life was much simpler when it was just me. And as frustrated as I used to get because I felt like I could never meet the right woman, I never felt like I would ever have to deal with this much pressure. Now I'm in a really bad spot..I feel bad for my wife...I feel bad for me..and I feel bad for my daughter. Right now I wish I could jump onto my bike and ride into the sun...solo...and not look back.

RE: Bye Bye Girlfriend
Seems like i hold the longevity record here so far...been married 26 years.....and barely remember what the single life is like. After 21 years with no bike,it was time to get back into the wind or go crazy...these things really can give ya time to be alone and sort things out. My wife was totally against another scooter, but i think she realized it was something that i just had to do. She only rides with me occasionally but never gives me any grief when i take off.I honestly think her biggest problem is she's scared of a crash...{got hit in 83} and ya can't blame her for that, i guess. Having said all that, it's hard to imagine life without her..if ya find a good one, hang on to her!

All I can say is, I'm more scared of a pretty woman than the biggest, meanest guy in the world...because the biggest guy - might - be able to kick my a$$...but he can't break my heart. And in my 34 years, I have yet to find something that hurts as bad as a busted heart.
