I met my son's mother (I refuse to call her a wife) a couple years after I graduated from college. She was a high school English teacher. Although I have since likened her to a practitioner of the world's oldest profession.

Girlfriends since that time have been Ballet dancer with the San Francisco Ballet Company, beautician, Federal Agent, high school science teacher, attorney, legal secretary, high school math teacher, actress X2, and interior designer. I have some photographs of the beautician carefully hidden. I had some pictures of me and one of the actresses taken at a party, but the interior designer found them and made them disappear. One word to describe that actress; DDelicious.
 
Well for me worked shipyard, then Rail Road with first wife she didn't work till girls were in school decided to work for a guy who rented Beta and VHS movies, who she decided she liked better.

Second wife works for major candy manufacture as a now sales rep supervisor, me retired now but was a technician for DOD research lab. Did I mention she is 13 years younger, been together for over 20 years and happy, except her traveling. Maybe we need a thread about age differences between partners.
 
My wife wants a man who is younger and taler than her.
So I am just 1 year and a week older and a half inch bigger.

We are this year 25 married. I met her due the fact that I was going steady with her younger sister. Aldo there is 6 year in between that her sister quit with me and I met her again.

My wife is studing hard on basic medics. She works for the shippingcompagny MSC. When an employe get sick they have to Phone her.

I do have a very inteligent wife. Still do not know why she married me.

I am a trainconductor by the Dutch Railways for 32 year. Still love my job and my wife ofcource.

Married in 1969. Wife was 18 and pregnant, I was 19. While our kids were still pre-school my wife finished her undergraduate degree then was accepted into med school. She works 2/3 time and I enjoy the lifestyle to which I've become accustomed! Before retiring early I worked in management in the aerospace industry. 44 years of marriage later we have two grown daughters and 2 grandkids.
 
I knew a short mean lady once she was 4'9" we nicknamed her "five-seven" because she was mean enough for some one who was 5'7".
 
My wife is a contracting officer of the VA in Bath NY. Very good job and she is very dedicated to our veterans!

Met my wife when we were both at FT Hood. She was a brand new 2LT in the 1st Cav Div S&T battalion's truck company. One of my friends was the company commander and introduced us. I was the in the 1st Cav Div maintenance battalion, commanding the missile maintenance company. We both retired from the Army and then went to work for Lockheed Martin doing software development.

I can't say that all the VA doctors are worthless now. Married for ten years plus the two before marriage.

I'm a licensed union sprinkler fitter and my wife works in a quality control office at a spring shop but also has her CNA license and takes care of elderly now and then part time.
I hope to retire in 4 years at 62 not sure about her as she likes her job.
 
People seem to get upset over correct spelling and grammar, but this is 6th grade stuff. I'm 65, not done learning, I'm afraid. I'm never offended here. My cardiologist visit today, after bypass surgery, said I'm likely to live a few more years in spite of myself. Each day is a gift, folks, enjoy!
