I got rid of one of those many years ago!

If your wife is NOT your best friend and closest confidant - then why are you still there? Find someone who is on your side.

Find someone who is on your side.

 

Good Luck with that! They always seem to be on your side until a few years (or less) after the papers are signed and she already has her claws in your bank account.  mad.gif

Nonsense. After 20 years they blame us for everything. As I type this I am being blamed by my wife of 24 years for my 18 year old daughter's runny frosting for cupcakes for her teachers right before graduation. When asked what I am doing, and informing her I am on the Saiga forum, I was told I am turning into a social media junky. (I hate social media and she knows it) I love her more now than ever, even when she gets on my nerves.

It may be difficult to accept and understand, but many of our marital issues are due to a lack of understanding of our intended role as man. All the while as we have drifted away from how things work well, we have modern society trying to scramble absolutely everything up, further distort the way all of this was designed to work, and try to convince us that the way things were designed is wrong. Even in the animal world, male and female have clear roles and the unit will not work efficiently without definition of roles and understanding of roles. If anyone would like to know how to "right the ship" send me a PM. You will not have to read, just watch and listen. I hate PMs, but I like to help others more than I hate PMs. You will be enlightened.

Agree on the roles part. My situation is a little different though. My wife has some serious medical issues that effect her memory from time. Sometimes I do things, tell her, but it simply doesn't register. Then later on she's all upset with me and claims I never told her ( I will admit this happens with guns). The incident the other day was not one of them. That was her just throwing a shit fit and directing it at someone. I guess I was the quickest person to speed dial.

I'm single, but one of the most annoying things I've seen is when "he" suggests something to her several times, and she blows it off as worthless, lousy idea, would never work. Then a month later she "thinks of a great idea" and it's the best thing since sliced bread. Guess what... it's HIS idea!  :rolleyes:

I am happily married to my best friend. I tell her all the time that she is not the same species as other women! No games, no drama - and she gets my humor!

I have her back, she has mine.

 

I could not imagine living with anyone else!  -  Marriage is a merger of goals and talents with the purpose of making a whole that is larger than the sum of the parts.

Inception. The seed is planted to bear fruit when it matures (when her subconscious mind gets it, lol).

I believe that love is not a feeling, it is an act of your will. We choose to love or not, in spite of circumstances. As men we are designed to be leaders. Evls roles post is spot on. My love for my wife grows, not because she deserves it, but because I choose to love her despite when I feel she is wrong, or I do not get the respect I feel I deserve. Consequently when I treat her this way, I find that she tends to respect me more, not less. In this way our love and respect for one another deepens. I know this is not a fairytale world, and there are instances where people, many times because the actions of one, can no longer stay together. I have seen it in the people I love from both sides. However, I also believe many call it quits too early without putting in the effort, sometimes anguish, to make things work. Just an observation on relationships in general, not a comment on you marriage DLT. I hope everything works out for you my friend.

Darth,

My first marriage was a nightmare. I finally figured out, after many years of staying single because I wasn't sure what I wanted in a woman, I realized that I was with my first wife for none of the right reasons and all of the wrong reasons. I finally isolated what really mattered in a relationship, like can I stand to hear her talk, simple things like that. Someday her looks will be gone, sex will be gone, and what is left when that stuff is stripped away? Is she just a wallet riding nag? Will she make sure I am fed, care for me when I am sick, and can I trust her? Does she go fruit loops when she is about to have her period? Are her undisciplined children going to likely be little nightmares later on in life? Those were the questions I had to answer with each girl that didn't make the cut.

When we first met, I had a 45 minute discussion with my wife, about what I expected and wanted in life. She signed on. We have been happy, ever since.

 

She was on a date with someone else.

 

We were married after three months.

Our 24 year Anniversary was today. She was in a really good mood! I like to think that I had something to do with that. :). We don't do cards or flowers BS anymore. It's all about respect.

For us it is about not wasting money on a bunch of commercialized "traditions". We go eat wherever she wants with that money instead. The beauty of is that I get to eat too, lol.

My wife is choosing her first pistol.

 

 

So far she likes the hk vp9. But is still looking. And for someone wanting something smaller then full size she keeps moving to full size in 9mm. (Makes buying ammo cheaper, since i reload 9)

My wife shoots full size much better than compacts. I think it has a lot to do with more to hold onto and less snap. If they will carry off body or simply use it as a night stand gun I think it is a great idea.

You may find that she will eventually get both.

My best friend for 48 years my wife chose all her pistols and one of mine. It's nice to go to places like Bass Pro and browse the gun cases.

Good luck and remember women like bling and quality guns

Mines snores like a grizzly, but she is great is just about every way that really matters.

 

I've personally never been that close to a grizzly, by choice, so I can't say how loud they snore.  ;)
