Would get married again if your wife left you now?   Mav said I should start a topic on this rather than hijack.   It seem worth a thread..

How many of you watch chick flicks because you want to be with your wife at the movies and that is what she wants to watch?

How many of you listen to what your wife has to say on politics or let her affect your vote?

How much compromise in your life is because you are married?

Without hesitation.

The real question is; could I find anyone else willing to put up with all my ****  :D

by all your *****   do you mean put up with you being yourself and enjoying the things you do?

I don't think that would be all that difficult.. many women are tolerant to a point.

Is that what you look for?

No re-marry. It was tough enough finding this one and I no longer have the patience to look that long for another. Added to that is that the herd is pretty picked over at my age. The relatively sane ones were cut out a long time ago. Primarily, I think only the projects would be left.

I don't watch chick flicks; I did buy her a big DLP HD so that she could watch them whenever she wishes. I go play with the dogs when she does that.

We pretty much agree on most political things so we really don't influence each other. She thinks like I do, I think like she does with few exceptions on politics. On the exceptions, we agree to disagree and fuggedaboudit. On the things that count, like the 2nd, she's squared away.

Not much compromise at all.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Only if it was the right woman, that being, a best friend. A best friend (female in this case!) would be someone willing to watch what we both like, politically "aligned", loves to do what I like to do, and visa versa (meaning willing to try what she likes to do, minus knitting!)

They're tough to find...I truly believe I won the wife lotto in 1990. :)

I would re-marry if for no other reason than for my 4 yr old son to have a brother/sister.

Saw Borat last nite...

One good piece of advice was the guy boarding the bus and say to Borat.."Never..ever.ever...Let a woman make you the person you are.":aok

so you watch what you both like?  what if there is something she likes and you don't or vice versa?   My girlfriend and I like the same movies for the most part but.. she doesn't like WWII movies...   I watch em by myself or with a friend.

I am curious because..  I always get from men that they would never marry again if they had the choice or...

The more wishy washy... "I would never be able to find such a gem again"

The answers mean the same to me.  

I am very fond of my current girlfriend..  I am glad we are not married... in 5 years we have butted heads to the point that she left.   that was fine...  and... it didn't cost me a house or half my retirement or whatever.. and.. it was a lot easier for her to come back since no lawyers or courts were involved...

If she didn't?  Oh well.... gonna miss ya but.. if you are happier without me...

I am glad I had married young and got it over with.. It was the best way to raise kids and I love my kids.   I see no reason for it now and lots of reasons to not be married...

Never married - felt the urge once and glad I resisted otherwise I would have been divorced from her by now. No longer feel the urge.

When I am with someone, I'm ok. When I get tired of her, I don't mind being alone. Currently without, but have a friend who I keep trying to convince to be "friends with benefits". So far she ain't buying into it :cry

If something is meant to happen, then it happens.
I've gotten close to marriage a number of times, but never did it because it was just not the right time, or place, or person to be sure it would be worth the legal commitment.
The funny thing is that the very first girl I knew, is to this date the one I would pick above all.

The only person worth being with is the one that lets you be who you are, at minimum, and at best catalyses you to be everything you strive to be.

I don't compromise my happiness nor theirs.

Not me. If I ever got divorced
I would rather walk the streets of Bahgdad unarmed carrying an American flag and a poster with a cartoon showing Allah bent over and taking it up the rear then to ever get married again.

Remarried? LOL no thanks.
Like an old man once told me. "So you get a divorce and finda  new woman. what you end up with in the end is a different face and the same level of aggrivation."

As John Wayne said in "Back to Alaska  "Women, I havent met one yet that was half as reliable as a horse"

Movies, Wont go to a movie unless I too want to watch it.
Did in the last year watch a movie she wanted to watch on "on Demand"to have some "together" time.
the Movie Was Brokeback Mountain.
Not a bad movie cept for the parts when I was running from the room litterally gagging and trying to keep from throwing up.

I wont make that mistake again
while she claims she didnt
I think she deliberately did it to keep me from wanting to have sex that night.

Nobody effects my vote. I probably effect the way she votes 99.9999% more then  she effects mine.

Life is a series of comprimises. Hard to put a percentage on it
I'd say the kids have much more to do with what compromises I make then any other single or combined factor

1. Maybe, but I wouldn't rush into it.

2. Nope.

3. Nope.

4. A fraction of the compromise because I'm a parent.

Hard to say for sure , but, I seriously doubt I would ever get married again.
Been married to this one for 35 years. This is my second. First one set records for short marriages. :)
About the only thing the wife watches that I can`t handle is the daily reruns of Friends. :)
Pretty well politicaly in line with each other.     Both radical. :rofl
Not a lot of compromise on either side of the fence. We`re pretty comfortable with each other and both pretty much enjoy the same things.
Democracy is two wolves deciding on what to eat. Freedom is a well armed sheep protesting the vote.
