Well...you have my respect! ...and she probably has no idea of what you could’ve done to her and how much restraint it took not to. For a woman to do that, well...it’s exactly what I’m talking about.
There’s a harmony that is required for a marriage to succeed. I think for both genders, in many cases, this has been lost.
Again, I think the #1 criticism I have of “young ladies” is that they’re ultimately selfish creatures. They think the world revolves around them and feel they can do whatever they want to guys.
Semper-Fi - thanks for your service!
You're acting like a "nice guy". She is confident that she has you wrapped around her finger, and can therefore safely treat you with contempt.
>>Again, I think the #1 criticism I have of “young ladies” is that they’re ultimately selfish creatures. They think the world revolves around them and feel they can do whatever they want to guys.<<
I’m glad my girls are being raised to understand that the world doesn’t revolve around their dupas.
I was crazy about her, and told her often. She was crazy about me, and told me often. She got sick early in our marriage, and eventually was unable to work or even cook or clean...so I did it all. It drove her crazy to not be able to, but she appreciated that I did.
I loved her deeply and was happy to do what I did for her, but during the more stressful times, I would remember the vow I made on my wedding day...to God, to her and her family and friends, to my family and friends...that I would care for her in sickness and in health. She would have done the same for me.
We were married (the first and only marriage for us both) for over 26 years before her death in 2010.
I recall Proverbs having a litany of desirable traits to the contrary.
Conservative men seem to gravitate to liberal sluts...maybe you can catch them after their first divorce, but then you’ve got HER to deal with, too.
I have a sign in my office I can read right now as I eat my lunch.
“21 Suggestions for SUCCESS” and it has things like “Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully”, “Be decisive, even if it means you’ll sometimes be wrong”, “Become the most postive and enthusiastic person you know”, “Don’t do anything that wouldn’t make your Mom proud”, “Stop blaming others, take responsibility for all areas of your life”, and so on.
You know what the #1 thing at the top of the list is?
“Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.”
I think that is 100% true.
Solution?
Hey Dilbert, a good friend of mine is engaged to a young Dominican girl. He has been married two times. I asked him what he will do with her when he moves her to L.A. He said, “I’ll keep her away from American women.”
LOL! Of course, that is EXACTLY what I meant! (My brain seems to mash things up, nowadays...:)
One rule for dealing with women: ignore what they say and watch what they do. If she loves you, she shows it by making an effort to make you happy. If she's unwilling to make an effort to make you happy, then she doesn't love you, and it's time to either change her attitude or leave. (and yes, it works in the other direction too).
>>Last night for the first time in years, I looked at porn. I’m scum and going to hell, but so is she. Same old crap the first wife did that drove me to the same place.<<
Seriously, before you go onto any more porn, go talk to your pastor. Because you sound like you’re doing everything right. However, either you aren’t seeing the big picture or she is taking total advantage of you.
Don’t lead yourself to sin out of spite. You’re better than that.
I don't know if that is completely true. Perhaps this is truer: "...Conservative men seem to gravitate to liberal sluts..."
Hm. Well, that isn't quite right, either.
How about: "...Conservative men seem to gravitate to liberal sluts..."
There. Fixed it.
I think.
I knew a guy with a Romanian wife, she was very beautiful, and they were very happy.
What some older men do is to retire overseas. One favorite blogger, Fred Reed, retired to Mexico, married a woman about 20 years younger, and seems very happy with her. Of course, not being in the US and subject to US divorce laws means that she has more incentive to keep him happy.
I will stay with her and keep taking it to protect our two year old son.
I will go without and be miserable, and sin out of weakness and desperation.
Then I will die and go to hell.
Most women are too busy chasing Mr. Goodbar to stop and look around at the ones who are worth while... Ya get what you are looking for....

And most men are too busy chasing the “hot” woman to stop and look around at the ones who are worthwhile.
Same here. I’ve read Austen’s work twice, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Having read both Twain and Austen, I prefer Austin to anything by Twain, except “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn”
Too many females are looking for guys that look like Clark Gable, have money like Gates, party, party, party. They need to look at the real world, get off of this dream world of theirs and look for qualities in a man. Look for the most ambitious, hard working, common sense, best ditch digger so be it and someone who has faith in God and you will be happy. Most females are too phony to know what they could be happy with.

And how many men are looking for the drop-dead gorgeous woman with the long blond hair and silicone-enhanced chest? Then they seem shocked that she cares more about her manicure than about keeping the house clean or cooking his supper.
Has your sex-starved friend gone to marriage counseling with his wife?
