No kidding - a grandchild would be the grand prize! My father used to always say a grandchild is the reward for going through all the headaches of parenting. It was probably his way of saying he'll be a doting grandfather, but don't expect him to raise my child for me, lol. Still, he was an awesome grandfather and he had a lot of fun spoiling my son.
My ex is similar to yours. Physical appearance is very important to him too. He's married now to a woman of Chinese descent. She's not a young woman, but she's much younger than him, and she's very pretty. He commented to me once that he's thankful for her Chinese heritage - because they age well. At the end of our conversation, I told him to say hello to his piece of cheese, lol.
He came into town recently and they stopped over. It was the first time I got to meet her in person. She's a very nice woman, and perfect for him. Lord knows I don't want him back, lol. My ex is a good man too, but he was a lousy husband. If he's a good husband to her, more power to her. I'm thankful he married her because he seems very happy, but she's also very gracious and kind to my son. He and my son have a very close relationship. When my son visits, she does not feel threatened and allows them to have their time together. I truly appreciate this in her. If it had been his other ex (the one he married after me), she would have done everything in her power to sabotage their relationship. That woman STILL hates me, lol.
