Man, everyone you know is apparently a ho. No wonder you are spooked about marriage. Tell them to stop ****ing around, and it's amazing how a marriage can work. Just identify what you can't stand about your girl, and she should do the same for you. You both learn to just accept that's how you are. People will say you have to love each other, yeah sure sure. I think it's more important that you respect each other. As long as you respect each other, things will go as smoothly as possible. For me, marriage is just somethin I gotta go through to have children hahah!
You mean entertain as in slyly mentioning "where's my ring?" in any way shape of form. I swear I've been getting hints the past couple years and everytime I hear it, it just makes me detract from marriage..
Nope - I've never mentioned it to him. Probably never will. It's not a truly important core value in my life. If I get married, I get married. If I don't, I'm not going to do anything drastic. I'll stay with him until he gives me a reason not to. (And not putting a ring on my finger is not a reason)
Cool. I get to post in a thread I know absolutely nothing about! I'm 46, will be 47 in four months, and I've never been married. I've been dating a wonderful woman for the past 14 months, and I am madly in love with her. But...she just got out of a marriage. Her divorce became final last March, and I doubt she's looking to get hitched anytime soon. She has a 7 1/2 year old son who is still kind of getting used to his Mom and Dad being split up and his Mom dating this weirdo musician guy. But the kid has warmed up to me, so that's pretty cool. She also carries alot of debt, but makes good money. So....I'm good with where our relationship is right now, and so is she. Who knows what the future holds. We're living for now, and enjoying each other's company very much.
I got remarried (after about 2+ years of living together) in July and it's been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It's amazing to be with someone that trust and believes in me, is positive and proud of me and proud to be with me, and she is my best friend. There isn't anyone that I'd rather spend my time with. She takes care of me like I never thought someone could.
Not from me...but you'd better watch out for the rest of the horny bastards on this BBS! And I still think RM95 should take you up on your offer to scratch his itch. I've met him. You would like him. I've heard he uses Nair on his balls.
Off topic: The kid has begun listening to Blues and Ive been hearing him play. Yesterday he plays a little something he made up and it sounded pretty darn good. Is there one particular Blues guitar players cd that maybe I can by for him? He has been listening to SRV, BB and T-Bone Walker's music.
T-Bone is where he should start. Get him more T-Bone Walker. From there, go to Freddie King & Albert King, and get him any (or all) of the Fabulous Thunderbirds first four albums. Makes me feel good to hear about the next generation of blues aficionados! Tell him to keep up the good work!
d@mn, you seem very knowledgable for 23. i'm impressed. i myself just got married 3 weeks ago and it is definitely different. make sure your foundation is good b/c every couple needs it. and don't go making babies thinking it will "bind" you guys. i've heard ppl talk about that and it's just ridiculous. you're involving other ppl into your mess.
Just wanted to make sure everybody realized that above this are posts from three different females...in a row. Welcome to a thread about marriage... Marriage is great. Good luck.
I definitely agree with the best friend thing. Also, I believe that for a relationship to really thrive you have to accept one another. I've learned to love his quirks and habits, and we've learned to laugh at each other's burps, farts, and all the other bodily functions. I don't know if I believe in soul mates, but I do believe that two people can be ridiculously right for each other.
