Her mom and my mom were bi-polar and schizophrenic and emotionally detached from the world. Neither were worth a damn at nurturing and both not only very much regretted having children but would say so fairly often when we were kids.
When things are good between us it's awesome. I took her out for dinner at her favorite place in Wichita Falls, TX (about an hour's drive) yesterday for Mother's Day and bought her a second tattoo (hey, we both got 'em) and we really had a blast.
I love her and I know she loves me. When it's good between us we hold hands, grab each other's butts and are constantly touching.
Let me give you an example of what this woman can be like. I'm restoring a 1964 Ford Fairlane that we actually dated, fornicated and honeymooned in.
I sent the front bumper off to be rechromed about two weeks ago. Guy said it would take six weeks. It came back last Monday instead.
I sent the wife a text message saying I needed to get $400 out of the bank to pay for it.......kinda sorta between paydays, ya know? Her text response to me was "And? Sounds like you better go get your bumper."
If she had been as emotionally open when we got married as she has become over the past two decades we'd be so fantastically happy.
We're trying........
