Wow. The things I've missed by being a one-woman man since 1970.
I actually had dinner with my wife of 22 yrs. and my college girlfriend last summer. It was a little strange at first... but, all in all, a very cool evening.
And, this is my 100th post!!!
I have the opposite situation. I met my wife soon after she moved to DC so there are no exes around here and she has no contact with any of them. We are friends with my ex from college, but she lives in Portland so the only times we see them is reunions and weddings. I am not in touch with any other exes so we are probably fortunate in that regard.

There are enough lawyers floating around this little community of ours that I`m sure you could get some cheap, or free (do lawyers ever do anything for free?), legal representation. Or the rest of us could pass the hat to help with the legal bills. I`d donate to that cause.
Thanks, Marcellus. Do you have any hard-pipin'... too?
Thanks for the sentiments guys. We actually do flirt with it a few times of year. He still lives within 10 miles of my in-laws, so when we go to visit them on the holidays, there's always a chance. I really do worry about it, though. I have that black-Irish temper from my dad, and I'm a pretty big guy (I'd have about 4 inches and 50 pounds on him). It would probably show him how helpless my wife felt, but I REALLY wouldn't want my kids to see me like that, so for now, I'll just stick with daydreaming about it. I'd try to control myself, but there have been a few times in my life when I've seen red and not really known what I was doing (usually after taking a cheap shot on the football field or seeing a loved one threatened), so I hope not to find out.
I'm so confused. My real name is Joe. I use Bjornolf as my login name for these sites cause it's unusual enough that no one has it before me usually, and it's a character name from my novel. I have to ask what my name being Bjorn would have to do with being worried about someone's safety? Just that it sounds like a Viking name, or that it means "bear"? Strangely, bjornolf actually means "bear-wolf", at least according to my measley understanding of the Scandinavian languages.
I have nothing of substance to add to this thread and clicked on it thinking it was about NBC being in trouble. Boy was I confused.
Ahhh, now I get it. I guess there aren't too many huge pissed off Irish guys out there. We're all like Pierce Brosnan and Sean Connery. We do have Colin Farrell, but I don't know if he counts as huge. Liam Neeson has certainly played some angry guys, as has Gabriel Byrne. Not too many big guys though. Hmm. Anybody know one?
I totally got it. As my father, who is my Irish half, always said, "It's better to be pi...d off than p...d on." I always loved that one.
