Hey Magicman,

I'm glad you got my old girlfriend, lol.I once dated a girl that sounds eerily familiar to the one you're with now. She nitpicked me to death at times, I can't count all the times she told me; I didn't pay enough attention to her, I didn't call enough, the reataurants I likes were never good enough, the movies I liked were for "guys",(HUH?), the music I liked was old-fashioned, (I like classic rock and country), I didn't take her out enough, etc. etc. When I finally had enough, and told her it wasn't working out, I felt like I'd lost about two-thousand pounds of oppressive weight off my shoulders. I now understand why she was married five times. When we broke up, she got pissed and yelled at me, then said, "Another one bites the dust". Huh? Whew. As I drove away from her house, I remember turning on Bruce Springsteen and cranking the volume as loud as I could stand. It was sweet music to my ears. I've never regretted that drive.

I should have known something was really strange about her, when, on our second date, she braggingly told me she could suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. Good thing I've sold the trailer, lol.

No advice, just been there, done that, lol.
