You'd be shocked at the marriage proposals and other such nonsense I've received over the years. Seriously. I'm not even counting the in-game, online 14 year old boys trying to get free stuff. I'm talking legit - stalkeresque - women trying to wrangle me away from Mrs. Wikky.
It happens in real life too.
Which entertains the fuck out of me - because I'm not a bad looking guy and I certainly have the money to compensate for wherever I might be lacking. Here's the thing - women really didn't start paying attention to me seriously until I got married.
True story: I'm shopping at a store. This woman walks buy. Checks out my hand. Sees the ring and starts chatting me up. She didn't even bother to check out my magnificent ass.
Here's what I find entertaining about it all - the assumption is that because I'm married I'm worth having. Or perhaps I'm some sort of unassailable trophy to collect.
I can tell you this - dear women who e-mail me - I'm never leaving Mrs. Wikky and in the event that I were single again I don't think I'd marry.
Because marriage is very hard.
Not because of monogamy. Or not liking it. Or anything bad.
It's because I find it so incredibly hard to keep from hurting Mrs. Wikky. Not physically nor deliberately. But because my personality and intellect are such that it is very easy to overwhelm hers. I am the bear and she is the butterfly. And she is a beautiful, strong and confident person - certainly not taking anything away from her.
But I walk through this world each day trying not to step on people. It's very hard - especially with the person you spend the majority of your time with.
Each day I am confronted with the reality of being able to break her emotionally - and restraining instinct and desire and being wary of missteps to keep her safe from me.
In many ways that limits who I can be. Even she is not allowed to see this side of me because I keep it locked away. I sacrifice through restraint because of love. I wouldn't do that for anyone else.
So what I'm saying is stop e-mailing me. The guy that Mrs. Wikky got who is worth having is not available to anyone else. If there was ever a Mrs. Wikky II she's going to inherit an insufferable douche.
