2- you are not ready to suffer

3- you are not ready to submit to the leadership of a man unconditionally.

Married 63 years next month. As for those four conditions; with only slight modification they could be qualifications for just living, married or single, male or female - although no. 4 could be somewhat debatable.

@Really 64 years 😅? What's your secret. Some people nowadays can't stay married for a year.

@Thandeka I'm stubborn and she's loyal.

Haha, That's flippant but not so far off. We've had our problems; just the usual, sex & money. Even had a 10 month separation. That was due to circumstances, but it wasn't real clear if we'd make it permanent or not. I think sticking together was a result of basic personality, upbringing (social conditioning) and an attempt at realistically picturing how life would be better if we split; whether single or with some unknown other.

@Really How was the 10 month separation on both ends 😅?

@Thandeka Truthfully I enjoyed having no one else to please or 'fit in with'. I don't think she liked it so much but she was in a new job that she loved.
