I love the question Celtic....I also want to say to Hannelore and Dejavu, sounds like you two hit the husband jackpot...I married #1 husband at age 18, he was 21 and I was in lust/love with him. I never thought any further than what a good kisser he was and fabulous dancer. He would of been a good provider, I believe had he had the chance. He was however all thumbs, not a good thing....

Husband #2, I married because he was older, good looking, settled down, adored my son and me and was loaded. He was also all thumbs, but could afford to hire someone else to do what needed to be done...

I changed my expectations from age 18 to not caring about the serious stuff, provider and father...To when age 26 being very serious about wanting as good provider and father...

I don't count #3, the lying, jackass, user good for nothing....

Both my good husbands having died all I want is someone who is sweet, honest, likes to laugh and relax, is handy or wealthy or both. I'd much rather stay alone then struggle with paying bills with someone....
