Well this thread has been something of a surprise. Thanks to all of you who have written so openly about your lives. I really appreciate openness and honesty in people. In that spirit, here’s some truth about my world.
There’s not been a decade of my life that hasn’t been blighted by some sort of fucking disaster. I’m not going to spell out the details but these events combined with my own fathomless personal failings, compulsions and lack of judgement have left me totally banjaxed by life.
All the important things that make the foundations of a good life have either eluded me or been lost. I’ve no wife, no lover, no children, no job, no career or profession, no house, no money and no luck. Other than that everything is fine.
I’ve had a fantastic life in many ways and if I could go back in time I wouldn’t do much differently. I’m not bitter. Life is life and it’s not kind to some people. I feel I’ve been very lucky in some ways. I’ve loved and been loved. I’ve lived a hedonistic life unburdened by children or responsibility.
Anyway maybe things happen for a reason. My heroic mother who has endured a very difficult life has no family in this country other than me. As a result of my feckless life I’m free to take care of her as she is being steadily diminished by vascular dementia. Finally, I’m doing something worthwhile with my life.

One ex-wife (it lasted 24 years), quite a few ex-Ms-ICHM, current one is a sweetie and a keeper. 5 kids all grown up, 7 different jobs over the years and fairly happy. I don’t have enough money to retire quite yet, when I do I am out sharpish.
One stupid Labrador called Curtis.
I do not see me getting married again, but never say never.

it wasn’t the religion you might imagine when I use the term “god squad”
One wife (only woman I’ve ever dated). Two kids. 3 dogs. 1 cat.
More jobs than I care to think about. More jobs fucked up than I care to think about too.
