Over the past two weeks, I have been pondering about the four women I didn't marry. My wife is the fifth woman that I considered marrying. I am in close contact with all four of my ex-relationships. No. Not flings! But the emotions are all still there after two decades and three of the four are happily married. The fourth is happily single and not interested in dating. I discussed marriage with all of them, and all wanted to get married, in fact quite badly, but all four submitted to their family objections. Only my wife stuck out her middle finger at her parents and went, "Errr. Dad.. Go F Yourself Up Your A$$". So I married her. Sorry I can't post charts because I don't have their permission, but the first one's family's objections were about wealth (she's a trust fund kid... The university hall and the music auditorium has her family's name.. That kind of rich). The second one was because I'm not Roman Catholic. The third one was because I'm not Jewish. The fourth one was simply because I'm not Anglo (family is 100% British blue blood... Relatives are members of the House of Lords). Well, what aspects should I look for to understand these incompatibilities, despite the fact that the love was strong. Actually, it made me all the more angry because the love was that strong and these women couldn't stand up to their parents. By the way, the rich one is the Godmother of my two sons. My sons ride her horses. She is happily single and content to never marry. So, my wife knows all these ex-girlfriends well, as I know almost all her ex-boyfriends. So there's no hanky panky, if that is on your mind. IP: Logged |

Hi YTA,I don't think Capricorns ever completely forget the people we have loved. Our symbol should be the elephant. "When I said that I love you I meant that I'll love you forever..." I always thought that song must've been written by a Capricorn. LOL Even though we ARE loyal to our spouses, typically with no cheating...I read in one book that affairs with Caps are no fun, anyway, because the Cap will always be so plagued by guilt. As for what aspects might set you up for facing disapproval from prospective brides' parents, I have no idea. Do you have any guesses?

Sorry Faith,I have absolutely no idea. The ex-prospective bride who is wealthy was chronologically second. Her parents messed her up so badly that she refused to marry anyone else, and decided that she would lead a life of bachelorette hood. I try to keep a demur distance because she has a thing for me. So I let her take her thing for me out on doting my two sons. She even offerred free colege and graduate school for my sons but I'm like... that's crossing the line there... So, my eldest son sometimes rides one of her horses and she pays his country club dues. IP: Logged |
