That married women need to talk to other married women, because then they would realise their own marriage ISN'T in trouble, in fact it's pretty normal, even pretty good, instead of thinking "I married a MORON!" because in her words: they are ALL the same



Sometimes it really makes me wonder why men and women choose to co-habit at ALL!

Discuss

(married men, reverse the words to apply to you, same sex couples: please look smug and self-satisfied, since you got it made in this respect - generally speaking of course )

WTH It has never entered my mind that " I married a moron "


Now I will agree that in talking to other married people - I am reminded how wonderful my husband is and how nice my marriage is overall

of course men aren't all morons, it's probably only a small percentage that are statistically speaking (I'm sure it's the same % as female morons). HOWEVER, since we communicate in such vastly different ways, and prioritise differently, a lot of folks think themselves superior to their other halves

she was repeating something she has heard often AND my best friend said exactly the same thing a year ago and is since divorced

I'm the moron in this marriage




truth

Mach said:

no way!!!

this lady told me the guys that come to her workshop would get a drive-thru wedding if they could and get get it over with - and are not interested in the education sessions, which basically get the engaged couples to fill in a questionnaire and compare answers (with scary results )

I too, am the moron in the marriage, I do SO much stupid-ass crap but my wife, for whatever reason, deals with it...

You tend to Marry the person who you think is your life partner because you're both almost completly compatible! The fact is people change! So your compatability reduces! Some people slug it out till death! Some cut their loses!
That's married life!

Marriage is a leap of faith you put in your partner and in yourself, that's scary. I was scared to death of being married up until I said I do. "They're all the same " (speaking of men).... listening to my mother her women friends and experience/older I knew what I wasn't going to tolerate. The best advice we were given before we got hitched, before you find fault with them take a look at yourself first. It has stopped me many times.

I had to type out the programme notes for my client's course, and it was a bit like taking the course myself - it's brilliant! it really does make you take a look at yourself and BEFORE you take the plunge!

I married because I was proposed to and I didn't think anyone else would ask me

ZombieKitten said:

mdiver said:

what!

ZombieKitten said:

I guess we are all damaged in our own ways yanno, i can't imagine you thinking like that knowing the person that you are

mdiver said:

seriously, I never thought twice

ZombieKitten said:

Highly unlikely! But I can understand where U're comming from! I proposed because I didn't there could've been anyone better!

Amaxx said:

I kind of realise that NOW too late!!!!!

ZombieKitten said:

Gotta play the hand U've been dealt! I suppose!

Mach said:

Ditto.

My marriage was a stereo-typical disaster marriage in the making. I was 17, pregnant, and my father refused to attend. We were married in a court house, with exactly 8 people in attendance. Most of them crying!

My gorgeous, wonderful husband and I have been married 25 and a half years!!!!!

Yes, well some times marriages do not happen in the way that families and friends think they should. I know that one for sure.
Just goes to show that it is about the couple and the love they have for one another.

Simple!
