She met a nice Christian boy and lived happily evar afterz. She was in school in Spokane, so for the first 2.5 years we dated it was like being in the reserves. One weekend a month and a few months during Summer. We moved in together after she graduated and it lasted 6 months.I suppose there'd be no head hanging off the bed GWAAK! sounds in that bedroom.
Are you counting the dog as the half kid or is there something you haven't announced yet?I wish I could marry beer and bacon
Almost 5 years married and 1.5 kids for me, things are good. We were together for 5 before we got married.
You can but then you become this guyI wish I could marry beer and bacon.
I actually did that. For realz.Ask for a FICO score on the first date. Anything less than ~700, RUN!
WTFNot everyone can find the perfect wife like MBC did.
Yeah... I know. Heh. That was a pretty damned good one.WTF
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Westy again.
Word of advise:Been married 10 years now to Wife #1...
And yet so appreciated."run, run like hell dude", but that would be unprofessional.
Nice!Depends on who you find. I definitely think JimmyDean has a point about marrying young, but I think it is more the young female than the young guy. I started dating this girl at 20, got married at 21 (after living together through all four seasons), had 1st kid at 23 and second at 25. We have now been married for 6 years and I can honestly say that the relationship, the sex, the conversations, and really everything about the marriage is better right now than it has ever been the entire relationship. Key? Wife is 5 years older than me.
I don't agree with that theory.That's why long relationships over a very long period of time rarely work in modern times.
Mine were both happy as hell when I was the bread winnar. Otherwise, not so much. Some people can deal with ups and downs, others only want the up part.We started with literally nothing (ie. broke kids) and have gone through wide variety of changes both individually and as a couple.
Yeah, I see money issues tearing apart our friends all the time.Mine were both happy as hell when I was the bread winnar. Otherwise, not so much. Some people can deal with ups and downs, others only want the up part.
"I say yes to the richer part, but I don't agree with the poorer portion of this question"
It's rare and you are lucky. Though I also think it is a new thing. People change must faster nowadays than they ever did before because they have so many options and freedom to do stuff, create and develop as people. I see how much my parents changed over the years and how much my peers do. I know it's also a bit a young thing but from what I remember from being a child and their stories there is still a difference.I don't agree with that theory.
My wife and I have lived together 23 years, married for 15+.
We started with literally nothing (ie. broke kids) and have gone through wide variety of changes both individually and as a couple. We both have built our careers, have two kids and have maintained our own friends/interests/hobbies over the years.
IMO sharing these varied stages of our lives, and the related fact that we know everything about each other at this point, is why we're still together.
Now that I think about it, all our solidly married friends have been together since a young age and have evolved as people together.
Whatever the reason, I consider myself extremely lucky.
We both came from ****-show marriage households.
You just have to find the right girl.Also I'm on the extreme side of the spectrum here. I get bored with everything quickly and change my life plans often. It may be a bad thing but I get really anxious when I'm not developing.
I've had some "right girls" after some time people changed. That's that. Though right now I just don't believe in the concept. Strong, great feelings, life experiences are great when they happen, if it's gone it's gone and there is no reason to drag it. You may think it's worth it but you will find another great person which will click for some time, you will both appreciate each other very much and will both have a great time and grow together. That's important. Just leave the other person happier than she was before you met her and it's fine.You just have to find the right girl.
We're both very spontaneous and open to taking risks, which is what binds us together.
Until we had kids in our mid-30s, I don't think we planned more than 6mo in advance for anything.
Those are my failings. I didn't have the emotional maturity to deal with this amazing, crushing resentment of her, her career, her family and the life her choices dictated for me. And I lost my ****, all in. I wanted blood, and gallons of it, and I really didn't care who it was coming from. I launched into a 2 year vendetta against the Navy and her folks.
Finally while she was deployed one night I just let loose the dogs of war on her. Drunk, angry, hurt and scared, I burned her village to the ground over the phone.
And that was that. It was over, and the rest is prologue.
Im pretty sure without even having met you, but the two of us, some booze and a ladies night at a resort bar could potentially be the greatest single event in modern history or the worst possible scenario. could go either way, and as drunken history has told me countless times it rides the line between those two scenarios rather dangerously. All it takes is one "what the **** did you say to Cindy!?!" moment to push it beyond return.Personally, I think we're all pretty much ****ed on this website. BlackOhio and I are just more honest about it.
Watch Chasing Amy. Seriously. A great movie about sexual insecurity of that kind.I was there though I was 20 at the time. Learned the hard way.The second time around I let the resentment thing bite me in the ass again. I didn't feel secure in the show as I was constantly being asked to deal with things and people that I wasn't comfortable with dealing with. She somehow thought I could be friends with her old FWB, and that dropping things on me from her sexual history that she knew would hurt me would have no affect on me.
I'm going on the record now saying I am still trying to work things out with the ex-gf. I think if you and I got together in the same town with booze that 1) she'd never speak to me again (which would really actually sadden me) and b) there might be a nuclear criticality that would bring about a gravitational singularity that would end the world, space/time and the universe as we understand it.Im pretty sure without even having met you, but the two of us, some booze and a ladies night at a resort bar could potentially be the greatest single event in modern history or the worst possible scenario. could go either way, and as drunken history has told me countless times it rides the line between those two scenarios rather dangerously.

Been married 10 years now to Wife #1... if you're only going to do something a few times in your life, do it right.
I blame the Jeep.Well......funny story.
I'm in the midst of one right now.
So there it is.
