Jo Ann and I split up in June of 2004. We had been together for about 7 years. We didn't split up due to any major fault or argument. Basically she wanted to get married and I didn't. That was pretty much it. I was married once and didn't like it. I've always subscribed to the philosophy that if a dog bites you once you don't go back and pet it again.
I have never been the type to go for the one night stand thing. On that account I've always agreed with Groucho Marx when he said that I would never belong to any club that would have someone like me as a member, Any woman who would sleep with me after just meeting me isn't worth sleeping with.
So, I haven't been laid in roughly 3 years. Yeah, that's a long time. But I am free of any of those nasty and sometimes deadly social diseases. I've had plenty of opportunities. Living on the road they present themselves pretty regularly. But for me it's more than a physical thing.
There's a lot of emotional stuff that goes along with it. And relationship stuff. I think that's the main thing that holds me off. Emotional relationships are far more trouble than they're worth. I like to keep my life as simple as possible and those relationships complicate things far more than I like.
Maybe I should have been a priest.
