I see your point, but let's add something else to the equation - she has agreed to forego having children, due to my utter lack of enthusiasm about having them (to put it mildly). I would really feel like a heel walking out on someone who gave up on something she always assumed she would have, and that most women assume they would have, just for the stake of staying with me. There are not many woman I know of who are really happy just spending their life with you, travelling and having fun, without trying to suck you into the daddy role (no offense, if that is what you wanted). Hell, she doesn't even complain about occasional trips to strip clubs, or that sort of thing. About the only thing she WOULD be seriously upset about is sexual adventures with other people . . . go figure. So for me to walk would not mean abandoning children, like it would to you, but it would mean fucking over the most loyal friend I've ever had - something I'm really not prepared to do. If I could go back in time and do it all over again, what would I do? Who the hell knows. Shit, with the way I was living when I was single, the possibility that I would be dead by now anyway is very real (I sure as hell wouldn't be in as good physical shape as I am, I know that!). That, to me, is the tragic part about living life - every choice we make cuts off endless other possibilities, which we will never know the potential outcomes of. Maybe the best advice is, if you have a good thing going, don't fuck it up; if you are in a raw deal, cut it loose; and if you are unattached, go out and monger it up until you have had your fill (if that could ever happen!)
