Shortest Fairy Tale Ever

Once upon a time a guy asked a girl:

"Will you marry me?"

She said "No!"

And the guy lived happily ever after...

 

Most of my married friends are miserable.

 

I was miserable. But I still think a lot of married people are happy. Time for me to watch Dr. Phil again ...hehe

 

I think the majority of married people are NOT HAPPY.

Married people:

80% = MISERABLE
10% = Happily in love
(10% Other)

 

You know what? I think that should be pretty accurate.

 

But remember: guys who are happily married and in love don't talk about it that much. Those who are miserable are more likely to vent about it. No one wants to hear a guy talk about how happy he is in his marriage hehe

 

True, but I'm basing my estimates on couples I know.

 

I hope you missed today's show, it was about how to fight properly, lol. This woman called her husband so many names when they fight, you'd think she'd know name calling won't get her anywhere. They had couples fight in their homes and Dr. Phil coaching them in their earpiece on what to say. Totally absurd, needing an old dude telling you how to fight, I think if you need to go that far, then it must be over.

 

name calling is a sign of feeling lost and helpless.

 

ME < Married, Happily.

Going on 6 years, 3 Kids (and holding - no more PLEASE)

 

Sounds wonderful, AzAkers, congratulations. I wish I can do that someday, my dream is to find someone to spend the rest of my life with. If you put a bit of effort I'm sure you can have a lovely marriage, don't see why being married would mean being miserable.

 

The usual reason is that most women try and change their men as soon as they get married. It seems as long as there is the uncertainty of a non married relationship, even if the couple is living together, the woman will more or less allow the guy to be himself. But invariably soon after the marriage she will start trying to change him.

 

I'm picturing a whole "million dollar baby" thing here.

 

I've found many married people happy with eachother, as long as they aren't married to eachother.

Do the math.

 

I guess that's true, Compar.
What I would like to do is live together at least one year before getting married. It gives you a chance to see if you are compatible or if being together would be too difficult to handle.

 

Good idea.

 

We discussed the pros and cons of breeding and then tried living together. We're both too technical. :/

We have been blessed.

Hope ya'll get it too!

 

My wife and I were together for several years before having children. We thought having dogs gave us a little bit of preparation... NOT! It's life changing - in a positive way - but there is no turning back. Gone are the days of wild weekends and impromptu vacations, and I would never trade them.

Marriage on the other hand didn't change much for us. The wedding was a point of stress and financial strain - but I look on that as an experience that helped solidify our relationship. Keeping our marriage happy is easy - all you need is love (and a very understanding partner )

 

I´d say exactly the opposite Compar. A man meets a great girl in a bar, she´s charming and funny, has lots of friends, dresses up, is flirtatious and full of fun. Soon as he captures this bright butterfly he spends the rest of his life trying to turn her into a moth, getting upset if she jokes with other guys, or draws to much attention to herself by being herself. If another guy looks twice at her, it is not out of admiration and he sure doesn´t take it as a compliment that this dazzling creature chose to be with him. Oh no. She must have done something to attract that male attention.

 

Thanks for sharing this, it shows there is hope out there.

Geez, I can totally relate to that, exactly. You're right.
