He’s also been told by my male friends and coworkers not to let me out of his sight-the contractor I work for told him jokingly that if that happened, he’d have me for a sister wife to his present one-but Nemesis told them he has absolutely no intention of letting me go because it took him over 40 years to see me again-I feel the same about him-we are as compatible and comfortable with one another as we were before...
We both had 1st marriages of over 20 years that ended in divorce-I married MrT5 and we were happy for over 15 years, while Nemesis had 2 more marriages-both lasted less than 2 years-and I have military benefits I can’t afford to lose-a marriage with a license would cut into that even with separate living spaces-so our Texas common law and our respect for one another will have to do-we might later on have a marriage/commitment ceremony performed by one of the rogue priests who believes marriage is done by clergy, not license-lots of old hippies and rednecks like us out here do that...
I feel ya. Just keep him happy you know where.
