Why are you still married? or Why are you still in this relationship?

35 years old IMO

 

Apples and oranges.

A kid isn't a fully developed thing yet. A wife is.

If my kids turned out to be buttholes as adults, I'd probably cut ties with them, too.

 

I go out with a 7/10. When I acquire more currency or extreme aesthetics I will be able to move on forward to a 8/10 or 9/10. Just biding my time patiently till then.

 

No you won't, but it's nice that you think you would.

 

Why? That's easy, because I love her and I can't see myself with someone else! That, plus the fact that she's giving me two beautiful kids makes me realize that I am exactly where I am suppose to be at!

Really this question would be more appropriate for my wife! She had to deal with all of my character flaws early in our marriage, which a lot of women wouldn't of put up with! I'm sure I'm not the only one who was temperamental, stubborn, and irresponsible early on in their marriage! For the most part it was I who didn't live up to being a good partner, but in spite of my shortcomings, she stayed with me, for that I am grateful! I think that the birth of my son really helped me come out of my fantasy world, and made me realize that I really had a lot to lose if I didn't start respecting my wife.

Pshh, true nerds don't even use curly braces. Python is the new future.

Actually, never really watched that show. Saw a couple episodes. Mehhhhhh.

 

This is one of the most enjoyable and easy-going threads I've read in awhile, I should spend less time on the GARM!

 

Why?

Because I am loyal to my marriage and I forgive her shortcomings (just like she forgives mine).

 

whole bunch more variables in that beyond weight .. . i would hope

Then you end up having kids later. It's not that easy to wake up all the time as you get older. Seeing them graduate HS when you are nearly 60. College mid 60s if they are slower (like me hahah). And if they also get married at 35, you'll likely be so old you can barely enjoy grandchildren.

 

This one is more on subject of marriage I think:

I love her. Been together 10+ years. Married almost 8.

Physically - She is completely and utterly out of my league. An absolute 9/10 on her worst day. Age (she hit the 30 mark recently) has only made her even more beautiful

Mentally - Smarter woman than me. Love talking to her about everything.

Extremely honest and straightforward. Doesn't play games with me. I honestly dont know why she married me. She really coulda done a lot better.

 

Um, yeah, telling people what they would or wouldn't do and what their personal values are via the internet isn't usually a worthwhile endeavour.

I don't anticipate my kids will have the genetic disposition or upbringing that will cause them to be raging sociopaths, but if they do, I'll have to remove them from my life.

Sad, but sometimes it happens. No sense on holding onto negative catalysts in your life.

 

LOL @ explicitly stating an age. :grin:

Yeah, no. This is why you FAIL, sir.

 

I got married at 34, first kid at 36... Glad I waited to have children. I am a far better father now than I would have at 25 or even 30. Also you change a lot between 18 and 30... I know my wife really well (have known her since I was 23 and she 17).

I will be approximately 53 when my first son graduates college... Not too concerned.

Waiting to actually marry was right for me, also helps having a wife younger.

 

You would be in the small minority. It is easy to say until you have a child and then it all changes... Did for me... Logic, you can kiss that good bye.

 

This is how I feel as well. I still can't understand why my parents haven't done this to one of my siblings. My wife and I talk about this. Since I'm not a parent, I guess it's easier for me say it but I wouldn't put up with the crap that my sibling does.

I've been married a little over a year. I can't complain at all.

 

It's cheaper to keep her.

 

53 - 36 = 17... your son is going to graduate college at 17 ! Must be one smart kid!!! Guess it pays off to have kids later in life. That's when you produce prodigies.

 

Should say high school.
