Nine year anniversary

Well that's your problem...buying a watch with an obviously poofer character yet likes a demanding female of his own species. I remember when Swatch watches were all the rage down in AUS.
Holidays! (June 13th) http://craptasticnation.blogspot.com/[^]
Actually, my business partner insisted it was the watch to buy her while at Disneyland. I disagreed, but lost.

Congrats leckey. As much as every year is special, it's also good to make every day special. My wife and I have 27+ years married and a couple more that we lived together before hand. She and I agree that one of the reasons that we get along so well with each other is because we not only do stuff together, but we also do stuff without each other. I will never do scrap booking or stained glass art. But what my wife creates is amazing. As well, my wife will never cut lumber, make a shelf or shingle a roof. But like Dirty Harry used to say, "A man's got to know his limitations". :)

I really agree with you. My husband plays a number of video games by himself, or discusses baseball online etc. I have my garden and home improvement projects. But because the other feels proud, it's important to say, "Congrats Honey for getting to that level!" or whatever. Today my Hubby looked at my veggie garden which I know he has NO interest in, but I know he did it to make me feel appreciated so I let him know I appreciated him coming out to the garden.

THAT sucks. :sigh: I was 27 and have to attribute it to a decision badly made. :( I hope she ended up getting treatment, instead of continuing to dump her problem on other people. That is a serious comment, not a slam.

She dated my best friend ( who she left me for ) for years, but would not marry him due to his drug use. She finally left him for someone she met online, and I believe they have stuck together.

I apparently did something like that when I was drunk one night. But it was almost five years of dating before we got married.

Donna and I married after 6 months.

I don't believe in in blaming things on drink, but "in vino veritas" is different from drunk driving. For my ex, there was no drink involved, she just had that certain "je ne c'est quoi" way of speaking in both tactful and uplifting phrases. :laugh: Hence my advice to hook up with someone who deals with issues the same way you do, so you don't bully or get bullied.

My wife I were pretty sure within a month, but we both were waiting on divorces, so we didn't get "really" engaged for 6 months. We got married after 13 months. To this day, I credit my ex for her timing on the divorce, and teaching me how to appreciate my wife.

LOL. No, after Rachael, I had strong ideas about what I wanted. We'd been friends for a couple of years, I didn't marry someone I knew for 6 months.

I agree; it was one of those weird things that I would never bring up in normal life because simply it didn't bother me. But this drunken night I wanted to know when Future Hubby would propose. I had a really toxic best friend at the time whom I think influenced me. Sometimes I feel bullied, but I know I don't deal with stuff in a normal manner since both my parents had mental issues. Afterwards I feel okay.

While trying to stay "Kid Sister Friendly" I really agree with the sex part. I think that is one major thing that really affects many couples. It really comes down to trying new things whether in the bedroom or in public life. No one likes to stay the same forever.
I have a blog. Read if you care. http://craptasticnation.blogspot.com/[^]
Just the sex part? Not the don't argue unless it means the world to you part? :) Kid sisters probably know a lot more than the average adult here in this day and age. :) I grew up in a community where adults would talk openly about anything including sex with each other whether children were around or not and if the kids asked they were told anything they wanted to know in adult terms. (A lot of older "hippies" fondly referred to as "shrubs" who had mostly given up the most embarassing aspects of the 60's and 70's but were very cool people to know) Most often this kind of discussion resulted in an "Ewww" reaction and running away at a young age until it became interesting. It was considered highly damaging and unhealthy and one of the worst possible things you could do to *not* talk to your kids about anything they wanted to know or were curious about.

ROTFL - well, I think Tim was a way to make sure we broke up, and then I dunno why it lasted for years. The online guy, well, I dunno, I mean, they did meet and date, so I assume he turned out to be normal. I dunno, either way, I'm happy with how things ended up for me, so I hope she's happy, too.

I grew up in a very small closed-off community where I remember being in middle school (6 to 8th grades) and a boy thought you could get a girl pregnant from, um, fellatio (spelling?). I honestly learned about sex because we had HBO and I had no set time for going to bed. This is still an area where you should not have sex until you are married (although most don't) yet they don't really explain what "sex" is so kids experiment and get pregnant or get STDs. This is one area where I think the internet has actually helped kids explore their curiosities.

Today marks nine years of being married and not killing each other. For those of you who have been married for awhile, what is your advice for a lasting marriage? Funnies and quips welcomed. If you have a failed marriage, any additional advice on what to avoid?
Holidays! (June 13th) http://craptasticnation.blogspot.com/[^]
I've found deep breaths, valium, and exhaustive exercise to help greatly. Also a rigorous refusal on my part to apply the rules of logic to most conversations I have with my wife also greatly reduces my stress. In addition an avoidance of any conversation about the true meaning of the words "sales", "savings", and the phrase "look how much I saved" has also contributed to our marital bliss.
