10 Responses to The Dating Experiment: Week 1

    During the show last night this segment brought back some sad memories for me. I could really sympathize with what you must have gone through, and of course it never really ever leaves you completely. Here is a little of what happened to me.

    I was married, had two beautiful baby boys and my wife decided she didn’t want to be married any longer. It tore me up, later I found out what really tore me up was not being able to be there with my two boys each and every day of their young lives. I vowed never to trust another person, not only did it hurt me it hurt my two children.

    Several years later I met a beautiful woman and we clicked so well we could virtually read each others minds. It was such an easy relationship. Not only did I love her, she was (and is) my best friend. Shortly after we were married she asked me if we could have a baby, which we did, two of them. Two beautiful daughters. My heart has been fully healed and after 18 years (last month) of marriage I trust people again. She is absolutely wonderful and I definitely got the better end of the deal! lol

    My boys are doing well and they have lived with us on and off many of the years during their childhood. I just wish they could have had as a stable a childhood as my daughters have.

    Don’t give up, just learn from your mistakes.

    That’s beautiful! And here’s an uncanny coincidence: My dad had two boys from his first marriage and then remarried (to my mom, they’re still together) and had two girls!

    lol, well I feel safe in telling you this because I’ve already told my boys. Girls are much better! You get hugs and kisses for nothing, even if you are in a bad mood. I have to bribe my boys to come over with free OUT TO EAT food! :oD

    Okay so there’s two success stories you know of. BTW, when I was separated from my ex-wife she thought it would be a good idea for us to go to therapy. Which I agreed to. After the therapist wouldn’t say it was all MY FAULT, she stopped going. I continued. It was very informative. I found out that my ex wasn’t the only crazy woman, they are ALL crazy. No offense. Men just look at things differently, and there’s usually a mirror involved. lol

    Using what I learned I was able to stay away from the “type” of woman that were bad for me and I found one that was perfect in the process. Frankly my current wife was so pretty that the pre-therapy me wouldn’t have even gone up and spoke with her. Okay I’m probably approaching the TMI mark…

    Thanks Trapp. Sorry for the downer stuff. I know this dating thing is supposed to be funny. Normally I stay out of people’s business, or try to, I just remember how I felt and there was really no one around me that I trusted with information that even remotely pertained to my situation. I try to be a positive person and it really pi$$ed me off when I was down and depressed all those many years ago. But hey I’m just this guy on the Internet that drives a Jeep, whadda do I know. lol
