But he was a pos and I’m glad I got away him without having kids. A couple of years ago he sent me a friend request on FB and when I looked at it he was wearing a red maga hat and had a plus sized blonde wife! The complete opposite of me!

Thank God I dodged that bullet guy and have been married for 34 years to a liberal like me!
