marriage is wholly avoidable as are kids | ||

As my grandmother told me, "Stay single your whole life and raise your kids the same way". My father said "I never knew what true happiness was until I got married. . . and then it was too late". Me? I'll be celebrating 25 years of marriage this Oct and wouldn't have any other way. | ||

I love my wife more every day. She's been a huge positive force in my life. How's the song go?... Freedom? That's just some people talkin'. Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? You been out ridin' fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one I know that you got your reasons These things that are pleasin' you Can hurt you somehow Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy She'll beat you if she's able You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet Now it seems to me, some fine things Have been laid upon your table But you only want the ones that you can't get Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin' Your prison is walking through this world all alone Don't your feet get cold in the winter time? The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine It's hard to tell the night time from the day You're losin' all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away? Desperado, why don't you come to your senses? Come down from your fences, open the gate It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you You better let somebody love you, before it's too late. | ||

I'm a recidivist, my first marriage went pop due to truck drivers disease. This time round we've been together for 19 years. We only got married because it made life simpler & more secure for my kids. My wife = my partner. Need I say more? | ||

Well, I avoided any meaningful relationship as long as I could, but got married when I found the right person. I'm one of those guys who's own mother tells them they'll die alone and miserable. Her and my wife got along better than family. We're approaching ten years. | ||

I married the girl I fell in love with when I was 8 years old. It took me till age 39 to do it... dallied with others along the way... But I'll only do this once. Best thing I ever did. Been married a little over a year now. | ||

I married a woman that I had had close encounters with many times in my life and never knew it. We were on the same pool deck when I was 12. Again when I was in high school. She was right across the street for another swim meet when I was in BEEP training in Orlando. She was at another swim meet when I was on West Pac and we pulled into port in Hawaii and went into the gym to work out. We had similar choices to make just before we met. She had to decide whether to attend college in San Jose or Long Beach and at the same time I was deciding to take a job in San Jose (in the same building her dad was working in) or a job at McDonnell Douglas in Long Beach. Both of us chose Long Beach and met a year later. She asked me to marry her on our first date and we got married 4 months later. We celebrate 24 years in August and have never had any issues with our relationship. Not even a major argument. I wish everyone would be so lucky. As far as in-laws, hers suck, but my in-laws are great! | ||

Freedom's just another word for nothing left to loose. | ||

Why get married? Just find some bitch you hate and buy her a house! | ||

Back in college I got a bunch of concert tickets for a group of us. One of the guys broke up with his GF and said he didn't want his second ticket, so I was stuck with the extra the night before the concert. I had already been shot down twice by girls I asked, it was late, and I was about to leave the library, when I saw a hottie studying. I convinced myself that I had no dignity left to lose, and just went up and asked if she would like to go see Albert Collins tomorrow night. Close to three years later, I realized that I HAD to ask her to marry me. That all started back in 1982. All I wanted was to not waste a concert ticket. | ||

I married for love, was only going to do it once, planned to stay in for life. She, apparently, had other ideas. Not sure if, at 40, I'm going to bother trying it again or just be happy with my house, dogs, and bikes...but right now, I seem to be doing just fine on my own (shrug). | ||

Five weeks divorced Monday. We're both happier. I have more money and close on my house Friday. Sadly, many of the women in my age range (around 30) think they should be treated like a princess and put on a pedestal. I did meet a nice Christian girl who's a surgical technician, but since she works in surgery, she's not fond of motorcycles. | ||
| Thumper74 |
Ratbuell, I understand completely. I was my ex-wife's third husband. With closing on my house, the dog(s), promotions and pay increases at the dealer & part-time job, school, and bikes, I'm doing pretty well. | ||
| Ratbuell |
I was my wife's second. We started dating while she was separated, but still married. That should have been my first sign... Keep working on the surgical gal...one of my fave riding partners is a female trauma paramedic/ER tech. She giggles every time she looks at my x-rays. Rides her own (an XL883), skydives, snowboards...just a little bit of an adrenaline junky lol. Unfortunately, I've known her since she was 12 so there's a little "almost sibling" vibe there, so we're consigned to being friends forever. | ||

Amen Rich! Been there, twice. I'm a slow learner I guess? No more. | ||

AMEN, brother!!  Not only do my girls not fight me for the clicker...they don't care if I post pictures on the interweb showing my socks with holes in them! | ||
| Mr_grumpy |
I've got a wife & a dog, now if one of them could just learn to cook... To add to the dog list. A dog will love you just as much, 5 minutes after you've kicked it's arse for making too much noise. | ||

Dogs don't mind your toes hanging out of the holes in your socks  . | ||

Whoops, you already said that. | ||

Holy Socks means I'm not extravagant with my money...  | ||

What?! I don't hate women... I just don't want to be married to my ex-wife and we're both happier this week. Now, if you don't mind, I need to get back to shopping for an AR. | ||

Um, those are 2 thoughts that should never be put together in a conversation. Ex-wife. Gun. http://chillingkoala.com/post/1436 Not accusing anyone here of misogyny. Women hating. Or immaturity. Just thought I should point out the possible misunderstanding a thread like this can cause. I too own comfy socks with holes. (Message edited by aesquire on April 08, 2013) | ||

I bought her a new 9mm for a divorce present since she was afraid to shoot the 45 or 12ga for home defense. |
