^^^ Well, I have one toe in the water .... I just need some tips and advice for how to woo the ladies. Despite Fudgey's lack of gastrointestinal fortitude, he still seems to do farily well with the opposite ***. I am just looking for help in getting started. All advice is welcome.

What happened with the Mrs.? EB.com seems to be a matrimonial nightmare these days. I might go on another hiatus.

It's like all hell broke loose in the marriage department since I last logged in. We need something to cleanse the shakra of this site.

Wow - sorry I missed your question!

Mrs. JR and I are separated - she moved back to Florida and I am still living/working in Michigan. I can't point to one thing that went wrong - I don't think I gave that relationship enough time to mature to see how some of our interactions might play out. I wouldn't say there is a whole lot of drama or anything. Sometimes even two well-intentioned people cannot make a marriage work.

Well, if I may offer one of the hallmarks of things gone wrong. Mrs. JR complained that I spent too much time at work/with work.

While I don't disagree that I was working AT LEAST 50 hrs/week on any given week, my travel schedule never kept me away from home for more than a few days and I was always home on the weekends even if working from home. When I pointed this out to Mrs. JR and asked her, "what would have happened if I was still in the service and deploying like many of our friends and family? They don't get the benefit of dictating when/how long their spouse is gone with work."

Her response: I didn't marry someone in the servce.

I can say a lot more about this exchange ... but I think you get where it was headed ...
