That's pretty depressing. Some people are glass half empty types, some are glass half full types. I am assuming he was a glass half empty type. So sad. Life is already short. It doesn't have to be miserable.

I will wade in... I'm sort of like a Gander Goose, I guess...mating for life fits me and creates a joy and comfort no young honey half my wife's age will never be able to create. As I have said before..."honey, there are lots of women I'd love to go to bed with but nobody else I'd every want to wake up next to..."
I did marry well...outpunted my coverage is my favorite expression...but so far let me run down a few things I've seen my wife do in our 24 years together...
--Moved boxes, furniture, kids, and dogs without a whimper during our military stint...
--Blessed me x 3 with lovely daughters who fortunately look, act, and reflect their mother in all that they do
--Sent me off to war on her birthday...and wrote me letters (stacks!) to keep m spirits up during Desert Storm
--Held me when I sobbed at the loss of my father and my only "brother", my kid cousin who died at 19
--Changed jobs every time we've moved, reinventing herself and starting at the bottom again. She also knocked out a master's Degree when stationed overseas with a brand new baby in the house...
--Never flinched or ask me to quit flying--even after the loss of some of my squadronmates who's wives were her friends, or watching 26 of our friends and neighbors die in front of her eyes in 1995 when an E-3 crashed in Alaska...
--Told me to "chase my dreams" as I left active duty in 2002--just months after 9/11--to pursue the airline career
--Stayed beside my bed, hour after hour as I recovered from back surgery (words on post op report on EVERY observation taken every half hour: " time: xxx vital signs xxx Wife@b/s"
--started running 1/2 marathons in her 40s...and in the process inspired me and 3 daughters to all start running as well. We've run several races around the country together. Our oldest just ran a "savage race" largely to impress her mom who she idolizes...
So--what kind of woman should you avoid? Dunno. The one you want (like another posted) is the one you cannot imagine living without... Someone who cannot love themselves will never be able to love you, so someone with confidence, goals, and dreams of their own is probably a huge part of the package. Marry someone who can make herself happy. At the same time, love is a verb, not a status. If you make the choice one you find that person that love is to be given, not be earned, and always try to give more than you get, you will likely find success. No matter how much I seem to try to give to my spouse, she always seems to be able me more back than I give.
Sorry if I mush up a humor thread. When I checked in I recognized the last name of a fellow pilot and asked the gate agent about it. "Yep...he is my ex...we were married 30 years when he left..." was the answer. Lots of pain in her eyes, pain I will never inflict on my bride. I hope to leave my wife someday, first...and have her chunk me in the dirt, because I certainly do not want to ever have to tell her goodbye first. Like the Trace Adkins song....can't promise I'll be here for the rest of YOUR life, but I will be here for the rest of mine...

Did you ever wonder if men didn't fall for the *****es of the world, if they'd stop being *****es? I love how men complain about "high maintenance, selfish BUT oh-so-hot women with big boobs," yet slobber all over them when they see them. Face it boys, you only have enough blood to go to one head at a time----and it's usually the little head that wins. (think of that classic Seinfeld episode.) If guys would stop feeding into money-hungry, selfish, crazy girls----and looked for someone who actually had some redeeming qualities----you wouldn't cry on everyone's shoulder every chance you get. God, I wish I had a dollar for every time some schmuck confided in me. I have very little sympathy and tell them they reap what they sow......
Also, when you look like a troll and are able to "catch" a hot girl------doesn't that tell you something??? Guess some of you like being played....

Other crewmember (OC): He's such a jerk sometimes! I just don't understand how he can act like this!
Me: Well if he is making you so miserable, why are you wasting your time with him?
OC: Because he's so cute/buys me anything I want!
Me: You don't think that by staying with him, you reinforce and validate his behavior?
OC: But...
Me: No but. If people like you would quit validating guys like him there would be fewer guys like him... and the problem takes care of itself.
Waaah waaah waaaah...justify it in your mind anyway you want. If a-holes and d-bags quit getting laid, they would modify their behavior in order to get laid. All you ladies are doing is validating a-holeism and d-baggery. Quit acting like you're the victim.
