Yep, I have the secret(s)

I can put them out here in public because the impact of this information could destroy the social fabric. Besides I don't need a bunch of men telling me I am full of it.

Regarding finding another one...Well if you are looking you will. I have not found one to replace "her", but I will. Its just a matter of time. Its very unfair, but this is a true statement, its gets easy for men as we get older. Its just the opposite for women.

To quote thurber, You are in the catbird seat.

If you had known her longer you would inevitably have noticed irritating things about her. You might have even discovered things you absolutely hated about her. Your imagination is doing a wonderful job building the memory of her- based on the small amount of time you spent with her - into the perfect woman for you. But, imo, there are no perfect people for you. There are good matches, to be sure, but the most important thing is that you marry someone committed to working with you on staying a couple, and that YOU be willing to do this as well. Too many people mistake the infatuation phase of love- thinking they have found a "soul mate"- for the deep mature love that comes from years of compromise, and mutual respect. Instead of looking for someone you feel a spark for, look for a woman who is a friend first, and a lover second.
