I love my wife. We have been married for 34 years. She can be the kindest, most considerate, loving person I have ever met. She can also be the meanest, most selfish, and conniving person I have ever met.
Some of it is the onset of menopause, but some of it has been there all along.
Her mom would fight with her dad and then go out and spend money to feel better. My wife, whenever she is depressed, goes shopping either at the mall or online. I have tried to point out the corellation to her, but she just doesn’t see it.
Whenever I go to the grocery store, I always pick up something special, just for her. I can count on one hand the number of times she has done the same.
I won’t go into details, but lets just say on the intimate side, she shows interest about as often as she buys me something special at the grocery store.
But for all her faults - and I could list more, but I’d probably break the internet - I still love her.
Weird.
One of my favorite lines is:
“I knew I hit middle age when the first thing I wanted to do with a sweet young thing is take her in my arms and burp her.”
Very good advice similar to exactly what I would say.
For the life of me, I don’t understand how single mothers would be ok bringing strange men around their children.
Sadly enough.. I told my only son that there is something wrong, unnatural and downright psycho about girls his age. I suggested just wait it out.. but he is “gaming” with a chick from Norway. Let’s just say, I dont see that ending well either.
I hate to see him alone all the time. It’s too dangerous to sleep with the generation too. Disease rates I have not seen in my career. 7 out of 10 children we are born with high levels of pot in their blood.
Yea, I’m sure you guys were a real dream to be around as well (eye roll).
You, my dear, are a good man.
I don’t disagree with that, either.
You guys seem to have met and/or married some crazy women. No wonder you have such bad views of them. I can’t imagine how awful it must be to live with a partner you have such low views of and respect for. What an awful life.
Funny how that happens, huh?
My daughter dated a guy who was “in the middle of a divorce” with his supposed evil b#$@h of a wife. I didn’t think that sounded like someone good for her, and when I met him, and he wouldn’t look me in the eye, I was sure. Shortly thereafter, she found out he wasn’t even separated from his wife! Naturally, she dropped him.
My husband was divorced from his first wife for over 25 years when we met. He admits he wasn’t a perfect husband, but since she’s re-married SEVEN times, I’m pretty sure it was mostly her fault.
That is so true.
I agree 100%.
If both sides would just suck it up and take responsibility for their own actions, most marriages would not fail.
There’s a series out called *How to have an Emotionally Healthy Marriage* and it’s really about being an emotionally healthy adult, which in the end results in a good marriage.
Yeah.
It’s not always everyone else’s fault.
The whole world isn’t wrong but them.
Why on earth would anyone want to get married that many times? Once the kids have grown up and moved out, there’s no reason to get married again (for the sake of morality around the kids, I get it). After that - Enjoy the peace and quiet!
Chances are she was 15 and just looked 18.
Yes - until and unless you’ve seen it, it’s hard to believe.
Faster than light speed.

Lol
