Choosing a Husband
09/21/2012

I was divorced in 1984 after 18 years of marriage, not being aware of you when I married the first time in 1964. It was terrible. After dating to see what I didn't want in a husband, I was in the shower where I did my clear thinking and said to myself, "Of course, these are the things I want." Now I was ready to possible remarry. The year was 1987. I wanted…

1. a Widower (because I wasn't a nasty divorcee therefore I didn't 't want to deal with one who was. )
2. Him to have grown children. I didn't want to raise children.
3. Someone established in his career and not trying to find himself.
4. He had to be between 45-55 because I was 44.

To my amazement some time later I was fixed up with such a man!!!!
He had been my Pharmacist when I was married. Now, he is in my life for 24 wonderful years. I got all my wishes and more. I feel women should have a clear picture of what they want in a husband.

As you always say "if you don't respect yourself how can you get respect in return"

Thank you not only for your time but for your advice.

Lillian
