All relationships are complicated, but some are more complicated than others. Or, as Steely Dan put it:
'Worldly-wise, I realise
That everybody's crazy'.

Lol...which is why I keep things nice and simple: happily married to the same woman for 25 years, with no kids, debts or any major issues/worries, thus enjoy a relaxed and stress-free life
Hopefully that situation will be the same in another 25 years!

If I had the foresight when I was younger I would have met someone, settled down and done it properly. As it is I flung it around a fair bit and didn't meet someone I really thought was 'it' until 4 years ago.
I guess some relationships are worth the complications, but I still think it's odd

Cheers, Rich.
Are long as you're happy now, that's all that matters. Genuine happiness and fulfilment these days, for many folks, is a rare commodity. As they say, it's not how you start, but how you finish...!

Seeing 'sent from........' postscripts after posts sent via mobile devices. It gets on my tits!!
Why not switch them off, surely it can be done?
And if you reply using one, I'll come round and kic...............
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I'm sorted.
I'm off on a cruise in November. Way I look at it is I get away from the shite weather for 3 weeks & for the same price as a decent all inclusive holiday get to see a bit of the world. Looking forward to the Panama Canal.Cruises are for vulgar nouveau riche-types, who think they're indulging in something 'up market'!
