We fight over nothing. We argue over nothing. I go fishing, she's there. I do yard work, she's there. I go to hockey, she's there. I'm still a loner, but now we're loners together. It's fan-freaking-tastic.


I've seen guys that had girlfriends like that.
Never once did it stay the same after they
got married. You want it to last, stay single.

There are going to be disagreements in marriage. What is the ideal way to resolve them?


Other: Admit to your mistakes an say you're sorry.

Anything else makes matters worse.

I've acknowledged long ago that every problem is my fault and I'm sorry for all of them. I think I'm going to get blamed for those kidnapped girls in Nigeria pretty soon, and of course I'll cop the blame for that as well.

I get to repeat such apologies frequently as a review of my biggest mistakes over the last 19 years happens every time it looks like I just might be right about something.

And if I want to do something she doesn't, that's just the way it is. If she wants something that I don't, that's just the way it is. And there's not a mote of resentment between us.

Stay tuned for my next post where I update that my relationships a disaster and I'm single again ;)


No need for updates... you''ve got it made! You don't have to be 100 percent clones of each other. You already mentioned that she likes pistols and you prefer rifles. Two separate individuals who choose to be together is a union of strength not needfulness. Congratulations to each of you.

Discuss rationally! Pffft...



I remember thinking that when FOX news was covering the apprehension of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev the news commentator said "I'll tell you one thing, whatever happens, this man is going to be executed". I remember thinking that even if the statement was true, and 99.99% of the viewers agree with the sentiment, it still is not an appropriate thing to say. It isn't news, it is an opinion. I'm not even disagreeing with the statement, I just don't think it belongs in a news report.

And you're still married because of it. Like
Chuck Heston said, constantly admit fault,
constantly apologize, and you'll stay married.
He never said the marriage would be a happy
one.

I disagree. Of course it will be a happy one? Don't you want your wife to be happy? Whatever that means for you is rather inconsequential. You want to make her happy no matter the costs, that is what a husband does for his wife is it not?

On a lighter note, nobody said a happy marriage is a fullfilled one :)

Dude, there's a woman out there just waiting for
you, with that attitude.

Does it hurt being a cynic all your life? :)
