Many moons ago the ex did not approve of something I'd done. Don't really remember what it was but it's irrelevant, anyhow as a result of said unnamed infraction she gave me the old cold shoulder. She moved to the couch for sleeping and literally didn't speak a single word to me for close to 3 weeks. Due to my rotating shift work this wasn't that difficult to accomplish but nonetheless for 3 weeks not a word in my presence.
Finally nearing the 3 week anniversary she approached me one day and asked if I'd noticed she hadn't been speaking to which I responded, yes I have noticed. Her next question was "Well, how does that make you feel"? Listen closely kids and learn from my mistake; my response to her question was to say "Well it's been kind of nice actually"!
Of course as soon as I said it I knew that I had screwed up. My beautiful piece and quiet ruptured that very moment and she never gave me the silent treatment again.
So if you ever find yourself being given the silent treatment and actually prefer it to the alternative remember this story and answer the question correctly.

"AND"......if you find yourself in a relationship like this...…………………"GTF out"...…...as fast as you can.

Don't be so quick to judge; when we first moved into our current home I was speaking to the neighbor across the way one day. I was working on some fence and he came over to offer a couple of suggestions which worked quite well. (At 92 years old I'm sure he knows a LOT more about fence, life, etc than I do so when he says something I listen) Anyhow we're talking about the area, his life etc and that his wife of 72 years had died a couple of years earlier. He told me "Oh I have a little girl that comes over once or twice a week because a man has his needs!" I about lost it when he said that; 92 years old and still chasing tail.

That was my failure, I stuck it out for another 10 years or so as I was trying to do the right thing for our two kids. I honestly don't know if it worked or not.
Kids are a serious hurdle. I had 3 with the 1st "X" and none were planned. She weaponized them to her advantage. I seriously do not know if anything different could have been done but I tried my level best to be there for them. Her not so much. And they knew it unfortunately. This is one thing I wish I had a do over on.
Probably not, it was extremely stressful for her. Every bit of it ended in her missing her mom who passed. It had been a grief stricken process. We're still try to recoup the money lost but maybe a trip t.p Vegas in is order after the virus gets gone.
Both my kids hate my ex, their mom but love their stepmom. I guess it would be better for the kids if she didn't bail on us after 13 years then file for divorce from parts unknown. Just a P. O. Box #. My mistake for picking that one! I was fresh out of the military and wanting some regular loving. 3rd girl I dated & ended up marrying this against my better judgement. My mom dispised that girl from the get-go but was civil since grandkids could come around for her since my sister got murdered when I was 14 and she was 19.
The goat smelling part is a military reference. I actually don't smell that bad. Yet.
No, my current old lady and I are getting along swimmingly. I actually acquiesce to her demands of sex every night. I was just wondering if things went south of the border, what a reasonable, sane, prudent person could do in these trying times of Covid19?

Sailboat. Ocean. Never heard from again.
Same thing happened to all my known guns!
What a cruel coincidence that my ex wasn't somehow on that same sailboat. I doubt #2 would go sailing either...
Crazy thing, both my "X"s have left this mortal plain. Sure does make thing a bit more casual. At least for me.

I'm not sure why she has put up with me for this long but we dont hate each other most days
We went to the range and I cooked her favorite dinner.
It was a good day.

This has been the best thread ever! Goat smelling a$$, the pandemic, a shovel, Jerry Clower, xx years, marriage tips -- a true INGO classic.
Mine is 15 years also on the 16th.
Was going to Martina McBride up at the Bluegate in Shipshewana. Not now.

Been with the ol' ball & chain 18yrs. Still get along great, we argue but never had any major fights. Not sure why but she puts up with my interests in guns and race cars too. To be honest, I got a good thing going here and really don't have any complaints
