Not Crap

We share an anniversary and opinion.

I'm engaged, we are getting married next year. I couldn't be happier.

It's all about having the wisdom to make the right choices. Unfortunately, wisdom is not something I had at 21.

Update:

I'm married and happy. Really, she rocks.

I bet marriage is a lot easier if you have a lot of money going into it. It's real rough at times when you are dead broke.

I know this is old, but due to recent turns of events in my personal life I must give marriage a big giant floating CRAP.
Then another, heavier CRAP on top of it.
Then I wash it all down with a giant cup of CRAP flavored CRAP.
When it's all settled down I call the CRAP collector to come pick up this CRAP.
He comes in his CRAP van, loaded with other people's CRAP and throws my CRAP in the back.
With that, it's off to the CRAP-fill with this marriage CRAP.

That's a lot of crap to ignore six months later.
I have a prediction you both probably don't want to hear.

what? that we'll get a divorce at some point?
most people do.
The important thing to me and her I'm sure is the fact we are having an insane amount of fun right now, if we hit a point where we hate each other? whatever, at least I'll have a lot of good memories of back when I had a really hot crazy awesome funny genius best friend/wife.
Most people just marry the first slob they are too stupid NOT to knock up and are miserable forever.
I would still give marriage a crap for regular type people in regular type situations, btw...unless one of ya needs insurance, then get married.

What you have is a girlfriend, not a wife.

no, I remember pretty clearly getting married. Rings and all that.
She's even on my insurance, she can go to the doctor and dentist and even get glasses now.
All because we signed some piece of paper and recited some spooky magic spell someone made up.
Good deal I would think.

That's a pretty sad view of marriage vows, but OK.

Happy anniversary John.

I've now been married just over five years.

NC. Too bad I can't vote twice.

I couldn't agree more.Women are indeed self-seeking individuals.
You should marry your chiwawa.

If you feel this way, you probably suck at treating a woman properly.

perhaps in some instances (like the 'cosby sweater' scenerio) you just picked the wrong person.


But statements like "(all) Women are self-seeking..." lead me to believe you probably were/are a horrible husband/boyfriend.


My wife rules. She doesn't nag me. She doesn't feel like I don't listen to her. She doesn't feel like other things matter to me more than her.

Even though my only marriage (of 9 years) has failed, I still say Not Crap. Times and people change, and even though you are a couple, you are still an individual. People shouldn't stay together if one, the other, or both are miserable. Kids complicate the matter, but in our case (thank god), they don't. We made a conscious decision not to reproduce.

I support gay marriages. Marriage is a commitment between two consenting adults, and they should receive the same benefits regardless of sex.

I don't regret having gotten married, and we get along much better now than we did during the latter part of our marriage. You learn valuable lessons and how hard it can to be to co-exist with another. After a year of separation, I only think of the good times now, and wish only the best for my ex-partner in crime.

I guess wistful is my emotion on the subject. Different from how I usually feel rage or elation about certain things.

yeah and I give about as much a fuck what you think as you would imagine I would

we were all talking just now about the women of our lives and the old dude Bernard who never talks says
'Now you have to stop and ask yourself....would I be hanging out with this girl as friends if I wasn't married to her? If your answer is 'no' then I would suggest moving on, because life is too short, fellas...way too short and divorces are real cheap and easy these days'

Everyone just kind sat there and thought to themselves for a minute. Really made some people think.

I dig Bernard

Yeah, but what's missing from that equation is the fact that the wife can send the husband into sexual ecstasy.

And that sorta makes up for any personality clashes they might suffer. After all, life is also too short to dispense with sexual ecstasy.
