By 35, I had been working for a fantastic company for 9 years and was making great money and benefits. I had a really nice apartment.

When I was 36, I met a 30 year old woman named Petra. We wound up living together, mostly at her place, for over a year. She was the best girlfriend I ever had. She was beautiful, hypersexual and orgasmic. The sex was out of this world, but I liked everything else about her, too. She is the first girlfriend I ever loved with my heart and soul.

We separated for reasons that are too complicated to explain, but they had nothing to do with cheating or anything mean. I was devastated. I've never felt such pain in my life. It took me over a year to pull myself together and start moving on with my life.

I went on several dates after that.

I met my future wife when I was 40. She is 2.5 years younger. Both of us had lived full and fulfilling lives but had never been married. We got married two years later and have been happily married now for 26 years.
