5. Talk about your marriage and divorce.
I have $493000 reasons to talk about that.
That was her bite when we settled the property.
Next day, I bought a Porsche Boxster and 2 jet skis with money I had hidden offshore just to piss her off (I knew LOTS about offshore structuring and finance even years before this, let alone what I know now !!).
Seriously, "Moppsy" (for want of a better moniker) was a great woman. Beautiful, intelligent, great poise, a real product of the prissy parents and private school upbringing... shame her father was an Anglican Archdeacon.... that made for some interesting clashes, let me tell you !!
We met when I was 25, she was 22. Moved in together 2 months later. Bought a house together 6 months after that. Got engaged on our 12th month anniversary, married 18 months later, separated 18 months on from that then settled and divorced.
All before I was 30.
I still say today that if I was her, I would have left me 12 months before she did.
A typical case of a girl loving the bad boy (and I was one HELL of a lot badder way back then) and then as soon as she has got him trying to change what it was that attracted her to him in the first place.
I refused to change and told her that. She more than once said, "You are a married man and you have a better single lif$e than most single guys".
I will say for the record that in the almost 5 years together I NEVER cheated on her. Cam bloody close, but never did.
Anyway, a couple of years later we had a bit of a reignite for a while and she even came overseas to where I was living for an holiday and then when I cam back we saw each other for a while until I cut her loose.
She was using me as an excuse not to get on with her life, I told her that, and it pretty much died a natural death from there.
We have not spoken since, and that is about 5 years ago.... and that is a shame, because even afterv we divorced wewere still good friends.
For a long time she was my best friend in the world, and to this day she understood me better than most people will ever hope to.
I will get married again, if it is right, or even for fun, as I suggested
in this thread... that'd be a hoot
It will take a pretty amazing person to catch and keep me, that much I will say.
