Sounds like it's time to move on without her as other than sex, there's no shared similarities so nothing keeping you together.
If you haven't seen her for a while and don't miss her, what's the point.

Good Morning, JNS,

Especially CA is expanding our current housing bubble to maximum inflation prior to bursting. A few percentage points rise in interest rates, and prices will tumble.

James RIckards in "Death of Money" predicted our second housing crash.

There are many articles on Zero Hedge about our next housing bubble.

People want free stuff. The serious flaw of their demands is that there is no such thing as free stuff. Someone must work, produce, earn, and have what he's earned taken away to give to one who hasn't worked or doesn't want to work. When we printed 5+, maybe as much as 7 trillion of funny money, also known as fiat money, we should have predicted the harmful consequences of profligate spending of money we didn't have.

Interest rates will rise and housing prices will tumble. People will walk away from their mortgages (strategic foreclosures) thus adding to our shadow inventory of previously foreclosed homes.

Watch Niall Ferguson's "Empires on Edge of Chaos". He was talking about he USA and what reckless and indiscriminate money creation out of thin air will do to us, which is financial collapse.

Put a community organizer in charge of the richest country in the world, and he'll destroy it every time.

I have moved on. But were she to call me, I'd probably do her again. She's the best sex I've ever had. But I ani't chasing it.

WaveRider, your situation is that she is very good at sex but comes with considerable baggage. It is the baggage that is affecting your view of the relationship. What are you going to do?

Even though the divorce system is tough, many guys marry again, hoping for a better outcome if they end up getting divorced again.

Good Morning, JNS,

We all have baggage. How we carry it is definitive of our character.

I can't think of a single divorced dude I know who'll ever marry again. No dude wants to again subject himself to the caustic injustice in the form of abusive power of CA family law.

For men, marriage ain't necessary in CA. Check out just one dating Website. You can find 10K women in one's age group within a fifty mile radius.

I've know many dudes who've use the most known dating Website as hookup heaven. They're banging a couple different women a week. Just about every dude I know who dates online has the 3 date rule: if they don't get it by the third date, they're on to the next one. Many dudes I know get it on the first night. However probability is they're gonna get more than laid.

Sex is the easy part. Quality is the hard part.

Women believe BS because they want to believe BS is true. It ain't. I've known dudes with almost completely fraudulent profiles who've had many dates.

I know a guy here in CA who has been married maybe 5 times and divorced the same number. I'm sure he'll go at it again if the right woman comes along. One of my coworkers had a hard divorce many years ago. His second wife seems to be a keeper. In fact, that is a theme I can say is true about quite a number of coworkers with second marriages over a decade long and continuing. The first marriage was more about blind love, the second marriage was more about compatibility and was strategic.

agree with jns, people will marry again

waverider.....you must have had a very bad divorce and possibly assume the worst about marriage, women, love?

I was shocked when I learned friends of ours got divorced (since no other of our friends and no family members on either side have divorced)

the man already got remarried, the women he married is neither younger nor prettier than first wife

they were at our baby shower and then my husband runs into him with a new wife! I still can't believe it.

Younger and prettier are not necessary for a compatible relationship. Nor are slimmer, bigger breasts, better skin, etc. What is necessary is a compatible personality. That doesn't necessarily mean a personality that everyone agrees is stellar.

Jns,
that is what I asked husband, if the second wife was younger or prettier because so many man that do remarry, go for a younger, often better looking (because younger) wife
