However a "jaundiced view" : Thinking that people or things are bad, especially because you have had bad experiences in the past.

Chris envy and jealousy, are two emotions I cannot understand, especially jealousy, that is what destroyed my first marriage. When I swore before God and the congregatin that I would love annd cherish her and cling only unto her that was a solemn promise and I never broke it. Being jealous is like saying I don't believe you.

Well I guess when the love started to turn to hate I guess I did break it.

So, he had a jaundiced view of humanity? It's not like there is no just cause for that, now is there?

I was pretty introverted an emotionally inept when I was younger. I think my first wife took my lack of jealousy as lack of caring at times, especially since she was quite jealous. I think I got things right with this one. We are practically inseparable when I am not at work, and that is because we truly enjoy each others company.

Oh, hell no. Where is the fun in that? It's better to stick around and be a pain in the ass. Sorry, Man. I intend to hang around at least another 40 years.

Well I think it is time for my Pukka Sahib thread to commit suicide.

Seriously - it is moving what you guys, mpholland, icenine, Rob, tell us here. Thank you. It is comforting because I made similar experiences when I was a twen.
