I thought I was. I went on a stag do late year (mine) ended up in a lap dancing club. Had a very attractive 20ish year old very attractive girl grinding on me for half hour.

When I got home two days later and walked into the bedroom my heart sank.

Never been this bad though........

I definitely am. Got a gorgeous wife 14 years younger than me.

Poor lass.

I am regularly reminded by the likes of @Publius Ovidius @Hans Kraay Fan Club @Edna Krabappel and @Goldstone1976 that I'm with someone way out of my league.

I wouldn't dream of making such a disparaging comment. You are though. Mind you, so am I. :shrug:

Hell yes, but then I'd be punching my weight if I were hooked up with Medusa

Yep, he's better looking, far better qualified (he has a PhD, the best I have are A-Levels), and as a result of said qualifications he has a far more highly paid job than I am ever likely to have.

We're happy though, which is the main thing. :)

Yes. 100%. It's quite embarrassing really.

The other day I got one of those Timehop thingys which brought up an old photo. It was 10 years ago. I was 20 at Uni and my now wife had travelled that day to Southampton to visit me. She had just passed her driving test and it was her first time driving a motorway on her own. She arrived a nervous wreck....only to be met by a drunken Mejona who had been drinking red wine all day whilst cooking an xmas dinner for his course mates.

The first thing I did was ask her to get back in the car and buy some more wine. A completely dickish move. Horrible.

So, fast forward to the present day..... I'm sitting there last week holding our 10 day old daughter (our first child) and sitting next to my exhausted wife. My phone brings up a picture from the day 10 years ago. Me, a disgusting mess with red wine down my shirt and turkey grease round my face and her, lovely, sober, glowing and genuinely beaming.

The first 3 years of our relationship she paid to get me back from uni at weekends.....at which point I would go and watch Brighton or play Sunday league football. She would then drive me back to the station Monday morning.

She is far too good for me.

Having children only makes Facebook memories even more disturbing :lolol: One mellows with age, right?

As for me, I think it's fair to say I have also married up. :thumbsup:

Come ion, let's see some pictures then. I'm sure you all think your other halves are stunning and you are punching abpve your weight but I bet the reality is most are fair to middling. That's not to say you are all not ugly too.

Absolutely love that sketch, has me in tears every time!

As for me, of good god yes! She is beautiful, intelligent, charming, more sociable than me, more caring than me, worries about everyone, looks after everyone, runs herself into the ground almost every day just trying to do nice things for people. Somehow she puts up with a miserable old grumpypuss like me.
