I know and her looks are starting to fade at 43, I still look 35 ish, young looking genes. I need to make my play while I can still hit something young. In a few years I will be stuck with hags that have 2 kids and want me to pay their college, forget that.

Sorry, I missed the paragraph in my citizenship rule book where it says I am obligated to breed. Can you point me to the right page?

Also, have you ever heard of overpopulation??? There are plenty of other people who will take care of your share of the reproducing process...

P.S.: Duggar family motto: We did it so you don't have to... :)
 
Quote from dandxg:

Well here goes as someone contemplating divorce for some time now. I love my wife and she is a great person, but she if a fucking nag and control freak, but then I am a control freak too so get things done is difficult to say the least.

We argue and bitch after 14 years about everything, just about. It took us over a month to choose what color to paint our house. My wife obsessing that it has to be perfect or our house won't sell, blah, blah. I waited 5 years to propose and I think it was a mistake. It's a good thing we brought equal assets into the relationship and have no kids. So it will be a clean split.

Sometimes it's like being married to my Mom. Dan don't you really think we should do it this way, until I give in. A few times in the last year I told her flat out, fuck no, you don't know what you are talking about. You have never sold anything in your life and don't know what it takes to sell something. My wife would be great analyzing stuff she suffers from analysis paralysis big time. So I gave in went with her loser Realtor, our house isn't painted yet and no offers. Then says says we don't need to drop the price let's use subliminal marketing. Ok I believe in hypnosis but c'mon honey you are fooling yourself. Our house is priced to high the summer season for buying is almost over and you want to get cute with marketing, for fucks sake.

I admit I am not that good at compromise. I do think I know better an so does she. The sex after all these years is well just ok, and yeah I do have a wandering eye.

Re-read my post and project ahead to where I am now. Do you really want a tv buddy to have sex with now and then? Don't get me wrong I think my wife and I would be great friends, at times, but married I think was a mistake. Could I travel with a dog around the world and have meaningful conversations with him I don't think so. But he wouldn't nag at the paint store and nit pick almost everything I do.

Man this is some thread with I hope honesty. It is so hard to advise a guy ...but I hate to actually agree with all the negative guys here...what I will add is a slightly different twist.
First mine is an insane control freak, demanding, controlling, kid centric, yadyada yada..also if I did not have money I would not be shocked if things quickly fell apart.

But my wife is pretty good looking, not an ounce of fat...and educated..so our side demands a lot too....but here is where I differed with some of you guys ..I gave in completely to her demands and critiques...since I did that things got a lot better and liveable....I have no idea how long i can keep my mouth shut on idiotic needs, etc but so far its been near 20 yrs with teen kids.

Call me a wuss but I gave in...I still have fun..boating , buddy stuff but I yes dear a lot and I live happier...sorry tough guys.
 
Sounds like it is working for ya'. My step-son recently got married and my advice to him was" if she is worth it, do what she says". Obviously that requires her to do her part, also. But hey in 20 years, it could all go up in a puff of smoke. After all, marriage is just a big "crap shoot".

"your going to have to make it up to me for that shorts comment" cause i told her that the hipster shorts she had on were gay. so i said to her.. what do you want me to say something funnier about them? i can do that :) hahah
 
Quote from jinxu:

Hey all,

I'm a long time trade and I'm getting married soon to mid twenty girl I've been seeing for about a year. We're deeply in love and she said she's completely okay with me staying at home trading for a living. But I have my doubt and worry sometime if she's a gold digger.

What are anyone's thought, tips, and advice on marriage? Am I looking ahead to good times or bad times?

look at her mother and ask if you were her age and had 20 yrs of marriage under your belt,would you want 20 more,that's most likely her 20 yrs from now
