Well after seeing all the stories of true love I thought I would share mine. I was married for 15 years and then the bottle took my wife away from me. She told me that drinking was to much fun and she would not stop to save her marriage. I filed for divorce in October and she found herself in re-hab the following May. Since then I I have bought 2 Ford Tractors. A 57 600 and a 52 8N. Both not running when I got them. 600 is running pretty well but I have not started on the 8N yet. If any of are wondering! There is life after divorce. I dont date and dont really even want too. I think all I guy really needs is a couple of old tractors and a good dog.
 
Well I have been divorced too, Am now re maried to a GOOD woman we get along fine. And let Me tell you A GOOD woman is a ell lot better than a Good dog!! lol.
 
Knew a girl at work that was a partier too. She didn"t believe what a fool she made of herself until somebody showed her pictures of herself flopped out on the VFW dance floor with her skirt up around her head. Somehow it sunk in and she cleaned up her act. Worked wonders for her two school-age boys.
 
Knew a guy who did not drink that married a young girl and they had 2 little kids (4 & 6 yrs.). She went home to visit her family and her sister took her bar hopping. She came back, packed her clothes and told her husband that he could get a divorce and keep the kids.

She told him she just discovered how much fun she was missing by not going to bars. She left, he got the divorce and nobody ever heard from her again.
 
Add to the chorus, 4 years the first time 1 son. 32 years the second time. 2 daughters and 6 grandbabies under 5 HAVIN A BALL WITH GODS HELP FINALLY GOT TI RIGHT!!!!!!
 
I just got to thinking. Today I gave my 44th valentine to Marilyn, counting the four years we dated. Don't know why she held on to me this long. LOL Jim
 
It'll be 20 years this coming Labor Day for my wife and I. Some of my classmates can't believe it was and still is the first time for both my wife and I.

I just told her the other day, "Thanks for putting up with me". It caught her off guard.
 
I have been down that road. Messy divorce, lost my rear along with everything I had ever worked for. Lived alone except for my dogs for a few years and had a great time. Bought lots of tractors and toys had a ball. Started getting serious with my girlfriend and it all started to fall in place. Got married two years ago in june. We are inseparable, never run out of stuff to talk about. She is what I didnt realize was missing. I think I did need the time alone to deal with what I had been through. We have had a few bumps so far but being around a beautiful specimen of the fairer gender has been great. I have been in your shoes, its definately fun havin no one to answer to but the dogs.If your happy thats great, but if theres one thats meant for you I hope you find her.
 
Just gave the old woman in the kitchen the 53rd Valentine, guess I'll keep her now, too many dings dents and miles on her, no tradein value now.
 
My first was 21 years. She discovered the casinos. Said she'd rather gamble so I ended up with custody and child support. That was 21 yrs ago this month. Don't know where she is an don't care.
 
But I have never had my dog complain. About anything. 1 bag of food a month. Nothing more and nothing less.
 
Though I"ve been married now for 7 years the second time I still enjoyed the 9 years between marriages when every purchase only had to be authorized by me
 
Was married for 19 years, been divorced for 27 years, everbody told me I should get another woman. Never went looking for one and never will, I won't hardly let a female on the place, let along have one living here.
 
If you want to see who loves you the most (wife or dog) shut them both in the trunk of your car for an hour. See which one still loves you when you open the lid.
 
I would have been married for 41 years now, but the good Lord took her from me. She died at a church picnic 13 years ago. Nothing wrong with retirement, grandkids, a good woman, and many good old running tractors.
 
Nuts,
I've got both!
Which one do you think I outa keep?

Nothing better than a good woman and nothing worse than a bad one. I married one of the best that ever set foot on this earth. Puts up with me and my tractors. I spend more time in my shop than I ever do in the house she never says a word about it she knows in my shop or on the water is where I'm the happiest. Should have seen the look on her face when I dragged four more tractors home the day after Christmas last year. Walked in the house a few minutes ago and told her I sold the the second one and the next two are all profit Got high fives in the kitchen shes knows that what I enjoy doing. But when she wants to go do something I really don't want to do I go do it I might not like but I go. Been married 25 years come April. Hope I have a lot more years with her
 
I had a boos once that got divorced for the 3rd time, he was in his early 50's. He made a joke about my lack of hair. I replied that at least I have my 1st wife and all my stuff! He didn't talk to me for awhile. He is now on the Buzz Lightyear retirement plan - "To infinity and Beyound!!!"
 
I was married 17 years divorced 8 years now. She left the two kids behind with me. Son was 16 and my daughter 14 at the time. I have a two month old grandughter now and enjoying her very much. I bought my 12 th red tractor 3 months ago an gona keep buying.
 
divorced bloke told me-
"The best thing about being divorced is that nobody tells you what to do"
"The worst thing about being divorced is that nobody tells you what to do"

He is still wifeless

Three years I divorced the wife of 22 years which finally ended a nightmare. She was having affairs and was very difficult to get along with. We had 3 minor children and all of them are doing well. I"m happier than I"ve ever been. Just not enough time to do much with the 6 old tractors now, and money"s still tight, but I"ve been blessed abundantly.

Congrats to all those on this board who have been married a long time. You set a fine example. My parents were married 60 years before mother passed.
 
I feel bad for you in a way. Your wife chose a liquid that you can dump out on the ground, or in her case, down her hatch.
I know of a few guys that their wives left them because they had the bottle problem.
Would you take her back if she sobered up?
 
Will be married 50 yrs. in Aug. 2013, she has no problem with my 30+ tractors and I have no trouble with her going to ladies' functions.
 
Had a guy help me tile once--He asked me why are divorces so Expensive? I said I don't know-Why? He said because they are worth it.
 
Got lucky, got it right the first time. 48 years and counting, and yes, she still snoops around my shop trying to find her Valentines presents ahead of time. OH WELL!
 
I guess I got it right the first time. She wasn't perfect, but then, neither am I. We always enjoyed being together whether it was play or work. We were married almost 44 years when I lost her in 2010. It sure gets lonesome around here sometimes, but I doubt if I will ever look for another.

I wonder what/who drove her to the bottle?...
 
Now, if your second wife could just get lucky and dump her no account husband in favor of a great one, life would come full circle.
 
Made my fatal mistake in '95. Got relief from "IT" in '01. It cost me everything to get rid of "IT" but it was worth every penny. Only attachment left is my two daughters. As soon as they graduate I am moving and never coming back.My priorities is getting my girls thru school and me moved. If I ever make that mistake...Which I never will...Will be a long way down the road. And for those of you who say she was good for me due too my girls. My thought is this...ANY other mother would have been a better mother!
 
So you're too lazy to walk out and get your welfare check....No way I'll do it for ya. No wonder your first wife left you. Hope you don't get lost in your weed patch on the way back to the shack.
