Big Guy - I think that is commendable and wonderful. I don't know if anyone else read it wrong earlier, but I misinterpreted your email and thought you were married for 10 years and didn't have sex 8 of the 10 years you were married. Now THAT I thought was odd and didn't know how that could ever be good (although I know that is probably happening to someone).

Yeah, I don't know... it is a little strange/weird for a lot of people. I'm probably overly defensive about it.
Women complicate my life. Raising two very young children makes for an already complicated life to begin with, it was just easier to do without.
And, I watched my cousins jump from relationship to relationship because they were lonely, but the kids were always the ones who seemed to suffer. I'll be d*** if I'm going to screw over my kids, just so I can get some a**.

BigGuy,
I think you did the right thing. And I know a number of people who also did the same, mostly women, but also some men.
So, you're not an oddball, but rather a faithful father.
Just another guy exploring middle age.

I also understand that she was quite the party girl when she was married the first time.
Her show just nauseates me - I cannot listen to it.

When I first started dating again yeah I felt extremely wierd. Not like a virgin but the first time I had sex with my now husband it was amazing. For some reason I wasn't embarrassed or anything (i had two glasses of wine). So, yeah, my new husband is the only guy I had sex with after my divorce and until we married.
The benefit to being older is that hey, I had 13 years of experience in that area. I knew what I wanted more this time and more about myself sexually.
What's funny is that afterwards he kept saying to me" I'm scared I'll never see you again and this will only be about sex" WHAT??? That's usually what the women think! I knew he was a keeper when he said that!
