I was married at 21 and divorced by 27. no kids and it took 20 years until I said thank God for that. You marry the woman and the family if you live close to them.
Even for 20/25 years after that, either living with or dating a woman, whenever there is something you want to do, kinda by yourself, like watching a Tigers game or sports on tv....they have this knack of making sure they sit down next to you and start talking, asking questions, if you give them the short or terse answer you lose, if you turn the game off you lose, because they know you've conceded.
Woman for the most part want to be equal, but many can't handle everything, so they nit pick, nag You to do stuff around the house/condo/apartment, evenafter going out to a nice dinner restaurant, or back from a week or 2 vacation to an island or someplace, it is a lot of the time said, "we don't do anything", and usually when you want to have a couple hours to yourself.
Everyone needs a little space from the significant other. Most of the time, 'they' don't undertand that. All I ever wanted after working 10/11 hours was to come home say hi, give her a kiss, wash/shower and just sit on the sofa for 5/10 minutes.
"What, you haven't talked on the phone or had interaction with 'anyone' all day"??
But when they want to be left alone, you had better or else.
Just a couple of guys here know what I did before and just thereafter the post office, and my ex knew that side of me, + the people I ran with + 'worked' with. Yet she still pushed the buttons until I told her one night to leave me the fuck alone or I'd play patty hearst with her for the next 2 weeks.
Years later I am honest with myself and know how I am in relationships, three sides to each relationship gone bad; your side, their side, and the truth.
With all the friends I grew up with and worked with, I can count on both hands the ones who did have a great marriage.
But f'n broads, rarely do. They read from the same book on how to get/manipulate every thing they want and when.
The two times I said it's time to end this, each one wouldn't have it, "why, we get along great", or "I'll do anything you want". and if you let it go on for a while longer they usually will say, that they decided to break up with you. Tell them you're done, they plead with you not to, when they've had enough of you, it's final.
If you are fortunate to have met and be in a relationship with an understanding lady, you are one of the few with one who has it good and congrats.
The rest of us who posted a few things here or read mine, know what I am talking about.
"All you ever do is post on that stupid message board....what about me"!!??
