The nice thing about being married for close to 17 years is that despite your best intentions to keep your inner demons hidden they have probably all revealed themselves to your spouse at sometime over the past 17 years so you really don't have to worry much about it.
Not only that, at sometime around the ten year mark you realize that either those demons are compatible with theirs or it may actually be time to call it quits.
Which is lengthy justification for the following story...
We have a male friend who is a widower with three sons. He is an amazing man, smart and kind but not so much handsome or svelte.
He has been dating a nice woman for the past year.
We drove by his house early yesterday and his girlfriend's car was parked outside.
"I see she's spending the night." my husband said.
"AWESOME!" I replied. "They went on vacation together in February. So I think they're hot and heavy. And that's FANTASTIC! Those BOYS need a mother! And HE needs a partner! and SHE... is willing to sleep with him."
My husband laughed for about ten minutes.
and.……. what's the punch line? Guess it's one of those "you had to have been there" things. ???

That was the punchline! I couldn't think of a single reason why she needed them - or really anything charitable to say about her - except that she was willing to sleep with him.
