I certainly would not be able to put up with such a man. I have a friend like that. He wanted to marry me fifteen years ago and have many kids with me. I married someone else for twelve years and disappeared from my friend's life. I did look him up a couple of weeks ago and we exchanged many emails on that day. He told me that he lived alone. That his daughter whom he had raised alone post the divorce lived with her bf. I wondered why he lived alone. Did not he want to get married and have many more children? What happened to that plan?

Next day we went to have lunch together. After twenty minutes I realized why he had not married. He talks non-stop. Nobody would put up with that. A very nice good guy otherwise.
