The Significant Other

[Guest john]

There is an old saying that goes something like this:'When you commit murder it is expected you will be given a life sentence of 20 years.

 

Unfortunatley one has had to suffer over double this time, but still never gives up hope that miracles may still happpen.

 

Recently whilst having a few soothing beers by myself (as I enjoy my own company) after a hard days work I had an argument with my significant other over something trivial which I can't now even remember what it was over, however I can vividly recall that my wife said to me during the argument, "if you think you are that smart why arn't you rich"

 

My instant reflexes kicked in even though I was pissed, & I replied, "When I got down on my hands & knees all those years ago to propose to you LOVE, I must have been drunk".

 

There was no response only a look of hatred. I think that the keys to the love shack have already been thrown down the shithouse.

 

Another old saying that has stood the test of time:"We can't live without them nor can we live with them"

Yup, my first & only marriage went down hill after I went to Saudi Arabia as a crew chief on Tornados. The job was great.But a 15 weeks away 3 weeks here killed the marriage.I have been with a lovely lady for the last 10 years. I have been on a 2 on 2 off FIFO shift for the last 10 months. I was scared going back into a fly away job, but we didnt have a choice.It is working.2 weeks isnt as bad as 15 weeks away. I want to be at home , but in this economic climate it isnt to be.

I found the perfect wife. Unfortunately she was married to some-one else.

I once worked with a guy that always said it was better to rent than buy. He had never been married but visited the local massage parlor once a week. I always thought he was a fool but i have to say that now maybe he isn't the fool. I love my wife and have been with her for 20 yrs (second marriage) but if you rent and you get sick of the same old you just ask for another model. Try doing that with a wife and see how much it costs you. I am really lucky though because my wife sometimes drags me down to the airfield to go flying so I am not complaining.

He was asked outside the court if he would ever go down on one knee again, he replied "I don't think so and you should call her Heather."
