Well boys, I've fought with myself over this for my whole life. I really am genuinely the happiest and at peace with the world when I'm behind the wheel of a race car or in the shop building one. Sounds VERY self centered and it really is. It is what it is and I cannot change it. "I yam wot I yam".
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.

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.

Hey Outlaw, i'm a Green Mountain boy born on Green Mountain before there was a road up there, right where you live, Titled/birth certificate in Owens-X-Roads Ala. in 1939, most of my relatives lived and di'ed there, although i was moved away as a child, i still go there to visit graves every few yrs.

Zip.

Sorry to hear that DD, sometimes its just not meant to be. Thats better than most people who just stay together "because". It just a miserable life if you do...

Parting ways

My first wife divorced me for the same reasons. My second wife loves old cars and especially trucks. I had to get her a 49 Chevy Pick-up to keep her happy and quiet. It was worth the money. She loves car shows/cruises and the race track. I keep reminding her that a womans place is in the kitchen, but she won't have any of that. She just wants to get in her truck and drive. I waited 14 years between marriages to find her, and it was well worth the wait.
Keep your chin up and the "right" partner will come along. Your story may have a happy ending yet. Good luck my friend.
