Enlightened self interest. You make them happy, eventually they'll make you happy back.

I'm flying to California tomorrow with my wife just to visit her sister (aka: The Wicked Witch of the West). This should be good for two years worth of payback.

Years ago I traded my wife for my freedom and have never regretted it. LOL It's not that I wanted everything my way, but that her ways contained not a bit of common sense. And compromise is not in my vocabulary. Compromise in anything is defeat in everything--TreasureTales.

Trust me, you get what you give in marriage, it is definitely 50/50. You must give in order to take, or the well will eventually run dry ~

Ah,,, the good old days...


This is a joke, Only a joke. If it would have been an actual event, you would have been directed on where to go...

P.S.> If I wasn't joking, I wouldn't have touched a subject like this, with a ten foot pole...

I am sensing a relationship problem here.........

 

[Leon]

I hope I didn't offend you lionhrt9, or anyone else as far as that goes...
Just thought I would try to lighten it up a bit. This is a touchy subject and I probably should have just shut my mouth... Hope it all works out for ya,,,
Have a great day, Leon...

All is good!!!! Just a lovers/married (however it should be said) spat. I spent AWHILE trying to figure out who I could spend the rest of my life with, now I wonder how I could live without her. Keep your coil to the soil as they say, but your family in your heart.

I agree. If you think of yourself, you will be by yourself.

I read this post...and have been following it, but have refrained from commenting... until now.

I have a skewed, and somewhat cynical view on marriage sometimes, even though I've been married for over 8 years myself. My view comes from the fact that I am an attorney with a fairly large percentage of my business coming from family court and divorce.

Leon... glad to hear everything worked out.

Nightstalker... i want to amend something you said. A marriage is NOT 50/50. It is 100/100. I understand the rationale behind the "50/50". It means that both parties need to give equally.I agree with bigcypress... if you think of only yourself, you will be with only yourself. Marriage is a full commitment.

To all those who are contemplating marriage, or who are married already, go get the book "The Divorce Lawyers Guide to Staying Married", by Wendy Jaffe. It clarified and put into words just about all reasons for divorce that i've come across so far... and more importantly, gives some really sound advice on how to avoid them

Don't know a single thing about your lady but some women can be dang hard to get along with and even harder to get along without . Men + women just ain't the same creature . At least if you have labs you should have big doghouses .

That was great Mrs.Oroblanco...Thank you....and may God be watching over your niece in Iraq. God bless our troops.

Well, good to hear you're working it out.

My wife left me a year ago TODAY. I came home from work (2d shift) and she was GONE. I have spent the last 12 months begging, and wondering what I could have done better. The problem is, in order for 'us' to work (I don't see it happening) we BOTH have to want it.

That is obviously the gist of the posts here (the 50/50, 100/100, etc trains of thought).

Hope you two have a long and happy life together. You look like a grreat couple!

sign me,

Too old to be doing this again.

This was a good little thread... always nice to be reminded that there was a reason we made the choice to get married in the first place!

Sometimes I want to punch my wife right in the face for saying "yes" to me 20 years ago... and then I remember all the reasons I want to kiss her for saying "yes" to me 20 years ago!

If there is a problem and it's wrong, get out... when it's right, fight!
