What do you HATE about marriage?

[MysticalMom]

I don't hate anything about "marriage". I'm one of the lucky ones I guess. I love Ben and he loves me. I love him more everyday.

Ok..let me brag now.. He knows what it takes to be a good partner. He knows what it takes to be a good father to our girls. He loves us all and he takes care of us. He makes us all feel safe and warm and protected and loved. He's my best friend as well as my (awesome) lover. We understand each other. We even finish each others sentences. We respect each other. He knows my moods and he puts up with them. He makes me laugh like nobody else can. Even when I don't think I want to. And we both know that with each other is where we want to be for the rest of our lives.

For a long time I didn't think the words GOOD and MAN went together. Ben showed me that they do. He is a GOOD man.

Sure we get on each others nerves sometimes. Sure we argue sometimes over stupid stuff. But when you love and respect each other like we do none of that petty shiat matters. When ya got it..ya KNOW it. And we got it.

Dayum....got us pegged pretty well don't ya
It's a wonder that you don't have women lined up at your door

Maybe they just IV that stuff in um, or run it all through a blender, and just swallow :shrug:

Leave it alone...

The toothpaste thing is all about "Hickies", and go figure about that treatment

Actually, toothpaste is supposed to dry it out. There's not much you can do for a broken blood vessel (hickey).

A good marriage starts with a good friend. Ya gotta really LIKE and respect the person you live with. I may not like everything Rottncop DOES (did i write that out loud??) but i LIKE the person he IS an can live with some stuff he does that I personally don't like (he's a collector and can't resist stuff like trailers - i've lost count of how many we now own as well as large earth moving vehicles), but he put up with MY crap (9 horses :lol) oh and I'm high maintenance...did i say my alter ego is Madonna?

I think this thread needs a positive spin... i personally wouldn't want to be back on that dating scene...being out of it for 25 years, so he's VERY well insured

When I started this thread I thought it would have went in another direction.

I hate that wives always need new shoes.

I've been married for 15 years... I have found that it's true that marriage has it's good years and it's trying years, but that if you are committed and truly in it for the long haul you will make it through the trying times. The key is to that when you wake up feeling you "don't like that person at the moment" and find that they are plucking your every last nerve, you must never lose respect for them. You must remember there are mornings that they will wake up "not liking you at the moment" and you are plucking their every last nerve as well. It all works out as long as you don't cross a line and disrespect each other.

I have good friends that have been married longer than I have and they all say the best years of marriage come after the children are grown and on their own. They say it's like the honeymoon years all over again, but better.

That's when you both buy motorcycles.......and start acting like kids again.

ALL the wominns need new shoes.
You just hate having to go with her to buy them and/or pay for them.

Well, that doesn't apply to all women. Most of the women in SoMD have teeth though.

Thanks for the negative rep?

Negative rep?

Why would I give you that when you did such a good job of it on your own

You were the one that "stereo-typed" all women from here by saying:

I try to stay away from the women in this area. They tend to:

A. have at least one child
B. have no goals in life
C. be full of drama
D. All of the above

The only thing about marriage that I hate is that I didn't meet my wife sooner so that we could have spent more of our lives together.




love you shmoopie

Will you teach me how to sew?

I have two kids, lots of goals some of which are obtainable, some may not be but I never stop dreaming; NO and I mean NO drama, I won't tolerate it;and 70+ pairs of shoes (there are forumites who can verify this), call me Amelda; and I have all my teef! But I'm taken and prefer a more laid back kinda guy and it's taken me 4 years to groom the one I have. I have no plans of starting over!

Tox's wife is reading the forums! Run woman run! Do not get sucked in!! We fear it's too late for your husband.

Damn, that's a lot of shoes.

My comment was only based upon what I see around the Waldorf area. It doesn't applied to married professionals.
