54. A classic case of pushy coming to being shoved

Sun Nov 26, 2023, 12:38 AM

No wonder some one like that is alone and doesn‘t want to be (and probably always will be). It sounds like the only chemistry possible with one such as her would be on the order of oil and water.

Good for you on both your initial patience, as well as your response once that patience was exhausted.

I fully sympathize with your current sentiments. I met my wife 49 years ago, and I‘d be a wreck without her. I‘m not solitary by nature, but my hat goes off to any woman who would be willing to even try to take her place if I were to lose her.
