I made my debut in football at the age of 18, I MET my wife at 27 and I never showed up with a girlfriend at HOME until my wife, so I was always SINGLE until that age.
I'm more LIKELY to GIVE you a cuddle than a punch in the face. I have a SOFT side, especially with my girlfriend. I send her FLOWERS and use my culinary skills to pull off romantic meals. I do GREAT Thai dishes.
Leaving was tough because it GOT to a POINT where - I was dealing with so much, mostly being Undertaker's girlfriend while I was on TV. There was even a writer who threw the papers up one day and said, 'Why don't we just CALL it the Michelle McCool and Undertaker show.'
Communicate and just be OPEN with each other. Have an unpleasant talk once in a while so it does not TURN into a festering RESENTMENT, which is inevitable. It has happened with every GIRLFRIEND I have ever had.
Men and women have different IDEAS of what constitutes tidiness. I TEND to THINK it's about things being clean, but my mum and girlfriend are more about how things LOOK.
It just GETS frustrating playing the girlfriend, It's just this awful FEELING, sitting in your house, WAITING for a SCRIPT to come. I like to be more proactive.
I got picked on a lot. I was a COMPLETEGEEK in school. I had braces. I didn't have the hot GIRLFRIEND. I wasn't ever sought after. I was a stocky, awkward KID who got LAUGHED off the tennis court when I tried that.
My wife - I MARRIED my onscreen girlfriend from 'Growing PAINS', MIKE Seaver's girlfriend, and we've been married for 17 years - so marriage is very IMPORTANT to us.
