Good for you Slow, and I am sorry about your lost love. I guess I am a bit old fashioned, but I think a long pre-married relationship, allows each partner to really figure out where their future partner is coming from. It's better to have love lost now, at this early stage, because as in many cases, after the marriage and things don't work out, guess what. You might only be left with only 1/2 a farm and a bunch of support payments for the rest of your life. Keep on looking, there is a wonderful gal out there that would just love to hook up with a hardworking, dependable farmer and truckdriver who makes her laugh. No, I'm sorry, both of my daughters are taken.... :-)
