    Brother, you ain't missing a damn thing! I was friends with a woman for two years before we started dating. We dated for 5 years before getting married. We were married for about a year when my daughter was born. She wanted to be a "Stay at home Mom." Sure, no problem, I made enough at the time. Just one week before my daughter's second birthday, I came home from work and she had run off with my daughter to some guy she met online. Not only did she clean out the bank accounts, she had faked paying the bills for 4 months. So, within 2 weeks all my utilities were shut off. Not only did she run off with my daughter, she took over $30,000. But, karma being the b*tch that it is, less than a week after I go sole custody of my daughter her new boyfriend kicked her out. Sadly for my daughter, her mother died broke and alone in 2014.

      I never had kids in the US for this kind of thing. And I bet mom wasn't charged with parental kidnapping and you had to go to court and fight for sole custody. Glad it worked out but I never wanted to risk all that.
      I'm 67, healthy and moving to SE Asia next year. There I will likely find a great young wife and have kids there. Aging out surrounded by my kids sounds good to me. Much different laws there. My kids will be American citizens on day and I'll have the US government on my side should mom want to try kidnapping. She also won't know about my assets or have access. I will be providing for a wife for her entire life and our kids through college whether I survive or not. And I have the budget for nannies, housekeeper and long term caregivers if and when I need those. So not being a dick, just protecting myself.

      @@MrWaterbugdesign The police couldn't charge her with parental kidnapping, because at the time she moved out there was no custody order. It was a real mess. The only thing the Sheriff could do is help find my daughter, and convince her mother to let me know my daughter was with her. But, to your point, my ex was ordered to pay $35.02 per week child support. That is 2 cent over the bare minimum they could order. She never paid a dime, and the courts refused to enforce the order.
      Also, your plan to use the US government to help protect your parental rights won't work. There was a case where the mother was a US citizen, and the father was a US and Israeli citizen. They were married and divorced in the US. The first weekend the father got the child, he absconded with the child. Neither governments lifted a finger to help get the child back to the mother.
      Lastly, you're 67 and going over-seas to find a "great young wife" has some real chomo vibes.

    Man I'm 36 and only had one Girlfriend my entire life and it only lasted 3 months. I'm a lone wolf type personality, sometimes I do think about trying to meet someone but to be perfectly honest I don't care for marriage or kids and just cant be bothered trying to invest emotionally in another human just for it to end as most relationships fail these days, so I guess I am just going to be a life long Batchelor.

    67 and never in a long term relationship I guess. Married 2x. First one for 1 year, she cheated, bye. I don't blame her. I knew that about her before marriage. She was hot and I was 26.
    Second marriage was 18 years...but "relationship"? Didn't feel like one. 15 years sexless. I retired in year 2, didn't tell her and she never figured out until she asked for a divorce. She wanted alimony and my premarital house. That's when I told her I hadn't worked in 15 years and would be the one seeking alimony and half her retirement savings. After researching she realized she was on the hook and agreed she keep her crap and I keep mine. It didn't seem like a relationship to me. Roommates. If "roommates" are a relationship then I had many having served in the Army.
    Not having a relationship in the US is a good thing. I've had a blast in my career and life. Very exciting. The only less exciting parts were when I was living with a woman. Endless compromise.
    Next year moving to SE Asia. There I'm not expecting a "relationship" either. But I do expect to find a really good wife to have kids with.

    Back again Jim.
    As I already said in a different comment.
    I'm 54.
    And have only been single for my first 19 years.
    I've spent most of my life with my Morena ( dark skin ) fhilipna.
    And I love her just as much as when I met her when she was only 18 ( she is 53 now ).
    Right now she is still in the Philippines.
    I can only get a month off work at a time.
    So I had to come back to Canada.
    She is stayed in the Philippines to set up investments and spend time with her family.
    She only sees them every other year.
    But I can't wait till she gets home. Well Canada. Home for now.
    My second home is the Philippines.
    And one day it will be my home.
    All I will need is my 13(a) spouse visa to live there.
    I can't own property there.
    So everything is in her name.
    Actually we just sold a property we were part owner near Alfonso. In Cavtie.
    But yeah. I guess I am in a long term relationship 🙂.
    PS: I have seen fort Santiago in Manila. Built in 1571. Stood in St Augustine church. Built in 1609 by the Spanish.
    And I have stood on Batangas Beach.
    Were MacArthur landed to retake the Philippines from the Japanese in world war II.
    And have videos of a 160 year old Spanish church in Alfonso with my drone.
    And videos of a church in Bicol. Built in 1724. And then buried by the mayon volcano in 1814. Only the bell tower remains above the ground.
    And videos of the Taal volcano. It goes off often. Last one was in 2022. A few months before one of my visits to the Philippines.
