Been with mine for 16 years, she's a good lady...been with many prior to her and came to the conclusion a long time ago that even the good ones are a bit looney at times..
I've had knives put to my throat, my apt trashed, stalked among other things.... That one in particular came from an abusive relationship and when she would drink she would want to fight....like Mike tyson **** !!! Woke up one night with her on top of me with a butcher knife to my throat asking me if I thought she wouldn't do it????...Time to leave, never hit a woman, despise men that do.... and knew sooner or later my hand would be forced to defend myself so better to retreat and find new pastures...
When I did have a good one I acted like a dick and probably drove them crazy in my early years....others were just batshit crazy, dope, alcohol, violent ect ect...
Learned real quick not to invest a whole lot of time in relationships.
My current wife was a very close friend for over 13 years before we even thought about dating....matter of fact I crashed on her couch a couple of times getting away from some nuts!!! We knew each other's history pretty well and she still decided to marry me!!!
