Waco and David's Polygamy?

Me neither. These days I’m no longer interested in a relationship. Last time that was even a possibility was in 2010.

The end of my marriage meant deep anguish, humiliation and a sense of personal failure for me. Have never had the interest in risking that again***. The most I was willing to consider was having a special friend, with each living in our own homes. No longer interested even in that.****

*** in Oz, around 40% of marriages end in divorce. I don’t know how many remain married and miserable, but I suspect a lot. The odds for second marriages are worse.

**** Out to a birthday lunch last Wednesday, younger sis turned 70. My cousin was there. He tried to line me up with this nice Filipina, in her mid 60’s. Have never been attracted to the idea of being involved with a woman from another culture. For pragmatic reasons.

My ex wife and I had a lot of things in common. By no means least was common backgrounds; working class catholic, parochial schools, only having finished high school. Both went to university part time while we were married. I couldn’t get thatto work. Hate to think how I’d go with a woman from a very different culture.
