It doesn't make me a bad person, cuz I'm not. What is killin' me is the deep pain that I've brought upon my wife, when I knew all along from day one, It ain't gonna work.
DD I think a lot of us are at best in the shop. That doesn't mean we're bad people. Really nowhere I'd rather be than in my shop with my truck and my dog. Every so often I get out, but every time I do it makes me like being alone in the shop even more! I'm only 43, (been married once, lived with a few other girls), and I've been like this most of my life and the older I get the more I stay to myself. As a kid I didn't go out and party I was too busy working and trying to make a living and I guess I just got use to being alone. My life is simple, I have a little in the bank and I know I would have to change things to be married and I honestly don't think I'm ready for it yet.
