Evelyn 0 #51 February 16, 2005 Thanks! Kind of scarey when I think that I've been married to this person for over half my life, but very comforting too. I hope that my friends can all find this happiness too someday. Maybe I should modify my post, my husband just came out of the bedroom and said "why did you put the animals in the room with me". I didn't, but he assumed I did. Grrrrr...men... Life is either a daring adventure or nothing ~ Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #53 February 16, 2005 QuoteWhen the bitch is happy, I'm happy... There it is, Unca Bills rule for relationships: "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." Someone told once that a Wiccan spell always comes back on the person three times. Women are like that. If you make her happy, she will make you verrrrrry happy. Unhappy and your life sucks. I have a friend that I just enjoy seeing smile, that is my reward. I don't even think about getting anything back. It is not important, but it is my good fortune that I do.

tree_squirrel 0 #54 February 16, 2005 I say find someone you have similar interest with. My fiance and I are going to be happily married in Oct, and we have plans (not planes) to remain that way. He skydives too. If you want my opinion, skydiving people work very well with more skydiving people. Skydiving chicks are way different in the way they see things compared to normal girls who are not crazy about jumping. Another aspect of it is that the skydiving community has so many more nice people, because you never know when it will be someone's last day. They also say you can't die a virgin :) Not married yet, but will be in oct 2005, so far, i dig having someone around who really cares about what you are doing, offers conversations and can cuddle up with you at night ( especially at the drop zone in a tent :)! )I didn't do it, i swear!

tcnelson 1 #55 February 16, 2005 i've decided that single is my way to happiness in my logical world...i'm 28 and have had many a girlfriend and they just can't cope with the fact that skydiving and my job are #1."Don't talk to me like that assface...I don't work for you yet." - Fletch NBFT, Deseoso Rodriguez RB#1329 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doddy 0 #56 February 16, 2005 Each to their own. Married 4 yrs - Together 10yrs Met him when i was 19 he was 27.................... lived happily ever after. A man who views the world at 50, the same as he did when he was 20, has wasted 30 yrs of his life. "Muhammad Ali" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bkoch 0 #57 February 16, 2005 My two cents... I was married once. We were together for seven years in total, but the marriage part of that only lasted 11 months...Something about being legally bound to each other caused issues. Now I have a daughter with my ex. She is 18 months old and I only see her one day a week right now because she lives over an hour away. I can tell you this much- I used to want kids, but having one makes me not care at all if I had another. They are a giant emotional and financial responsibilty and though it is great to see my own offspring, I don't need to see more than one of my genes running around. I used to think being married equated to happiness, but for every one marriage I see that I would like to have, I see four that I would not like to have. The happiest most peaceful and centered people I know are unmarried. Having said that, if I met the right person, I would marry again. But I would rather be single and happy then in a relationship that sucked. There is nothing worse than the loneliness of laying down next to a person where the is no love. I have a girlfriend right now. It is tough, but so far she is worth it. Ask me again in a month and I may have a different answer. Brad"What kind of man would live a life without daring?

You haven't asked yet I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life Because I love hearing this question Just lucky I guess It gives my mother something to live for I am still awaiting my shot at Miss America I'm waiting until I get to your age I'd have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund They just opened a great singles bar on my block What? and lose all that money I have been spending on personal ads?

2fat2fly 0 #61 February 16, 2005 I have been married for 6 years and am very happy. You just have to realize going in that is is work and that it's not all about you anymore. I couldn't imagine life without my beautiful wife--and I have been married before and have something to compare it to.I am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're unhappy, you might want to consider it yourself. He was making my life hell because I ws happy and he couldn't be. He did me a favor. I need to be loved and appreciated for who I am...not who they want me to be.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

EyeofHorus 0 #64 February 16, 2005 Thanks Boinky, I am the one miserable, he thinks nothing is wrong and if it is, it's all my fault. Maybe I will get up the nerve one day to take a new path. For now I am going to settle for taking care of myself for a change and if he doesn't like that he can hit the road.It's not what you do in life, it's what you do with your life that counts.
