Reply #15: Not really but I'm not blind either [View All]

I've lived with this woman for 47 years. It isn't hard to tell when she's pissed and it doesn't take a genius to discover why.

Part of the problem is that we live basically in Bumfuck Nowhere. There is only one other house within three miles of us, and the nearest store of any kind is 9 miles away. So there is almost no such thing as a casual visit with neighbors and people don't just "drop in". She has plenty of things to keep her busy but I think she would rather live loser to our kids grandkids and great grandkid. But at the same time she knows I love it here and tolerates it because of that fact.

We used to have cattle here but we've sold them all. My little remodeling job keeps me busy and she does go to meetings of her genealogy association and quilt circles. But I can still see the stress when I'm in here on line and she's ironing clothes.
