Bravo Cyn, from start to the current finish!
My wife and I had seperate lives before we were together. Those didn't end because we got married. We share in each others friends, much of it together, but occasionally apart. I, like Cyn, will go out with the guys, but miss my wife painfully until I get home. She goes out with her friends, and if I don't have enough work to bury myself in it, I wonder / miss / worry about her until she gets home.
Spent 2 solid days with a group of guy friends for one of their bachelor parties. (his 1st wife had passed away suddenly, and the 1st bach party was a bunch of 21 year old men, being fussed at constantly by the bride's um... "profoundly"... religious family as we played poker and drank soda pop) Anyway, since this was round 2, we figured we'd demonstrate the difference that 10 years and many thousands of dollars can make.. spent 2 solid days in a couple of "gentlemen's" clubs.. I bet I called my wife or she called me like every 2 hours the whole time. The guys said I was whipped..(I'm the only not-divorced guy in the group, save the groom) but I say I WANTED to talk to her. She's my lifeline, not them anymore. I had a great time, I still love the guys, but my HOME was elsewhere. My wife feels much the same when she's with her friends.
Best fun??? Get em all together. That's a blast when we can work out the schedules to fit.
