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?

 My wife died. Would I remarry? maybe.

 Would I watch a chick flick at the theatre for a woman? I have alone, so why not?  I've watched war movies, mysteries, love stories, political themes, cartoons, and fantasies. I'm multi-dimensional, appreciated and enjoyed them all.

 Sure I'd care about my mate's political views, social views, artistic opinions, and everything else she thought. She's a mate, not last nights hooker I want to ignore. Maybe you need to pick your women better, or find one who's willing to compromize herself for lazsland. Good luck with that.

My wife doesn't go for lesbo porn....  

eh...that's what you meant wasn't it?

as far as voting, I can go into the booth and vote the way I want.  I have a policy to lie to exit polsters to crew up their data, so I can lie to anybody about how I vote.

hmm..  so a lot of you guys wouldn't get married again because you have the perfect wives who let you do whatever you want.. or.. at least you are thinking that.

This seems to be saying.... no.   Obviously you don't have the only good one in the world sooo..  maybe it is not what you are saying it is?

I will watch any movie if it looks good.. I will walk out or turn it off if it turns out to be bad.    I find that my taste does not allow me to watch what are commonly called "chick flicks".

I am sure that a lot of it is me.   I am pretty shallow and selfish.   I do enjoy my children who are grown and my grand daughter.  I don't need to be married for that.. in fact.. It is better to not be.  

I always let the women deal with the kids.. now, I have to.   I do a lot of things I didn't do when I was married.  Mostly..  because my money is mine and... I don't have to plan ahead as much.

The legal system is devestating on men in a divorce and I really don't want to go back to square one yet again... you have all heard about it from your divorced friends... it could never happen to you... could it?   After all..., you have the only good one... not like all those others.

I have been married (several times) and I am single... Some very good times when I was married...  I have even said the same things some of you are saying...  I was wrong.   I am far happier now.

My relationships with women are truly as you describe now... we really are friends and enjoy each others company... when we don't... we can go to our sepperate houses.

I have car parts and gun parts all over the house...   I can tear out a wall or rip up a bathroom to tile it...  When I come home most nights it is to an empty house... I can relax.    I forgot what that really was each time I was married after a while.   I became acclimated and brainwashed..

I think being married is a good way to go for most people.  But I'm not married.  I've had a couple divorces.   I have no intention of getting married again.

As each person is different, each man's idea of the "perfect wife" would be different.  So yes...we can all have the perfect wife.

Is the happiness of others so frustrating to you, that you must belittle them by saying they are lying?

I'm truly sad for you...

Welp.....I love my wife....I really do.  Wonderful, sexy woman.  Great cook.  Mother of my children.  Caring, sensitive, generous to a fault.

Ok...she just left the room.





Would I remarry if she left me?   Maybe....but the prospective second missus would have to meet certain requirements that are beyond negotiation:

1.  She would have to have money.  BIG money.  Enough money to keep me in the style to which I would like to become accustomed.

2.  She would have to have an isolated country estate, with it's own firing range.

3.  Her mansion would have to be equipped with its own gun room....a 20' x 30' gun room, with every wall covered with ornately carved wooden gun cases with glass windows and lighting and exquisitely mounted game heads and a fireplace with mantle and hardwood floors and a complete home entertainment center.

4.  The new missus should own a dark blue short-base Chevy pickup and an SUV and an Aston Martin.   Oh...and a bass boat....and a small sloop.

5.  A hunting lodge located in an isolated mountain meadow in the Swiss Alps.

If she can meet these modest requirements, she will find that I am not so shallow as to put undue emphasis on physical beauty or personality traits....a true Renaissance Man.

saying you are lying?   Not at all.

As I have said... I have at times thought I had the perfect marriage.   While in it I  have thought that...  I had the perfect relationship and that I could never find that again.

I use the gut test now... If my gut starts to churn when I hear her car drive up... I need to get out of the relationship... no matter how much I think it is great.

I have seen couples ripping at each other in vicious ways and when called on it... they deny it is even happening... they don't even notice.

republic...it is like being a luftwhiner in the game... they don't even see they are doing it... everyone else does of course but... they don't.. not till they step away from it.. till they get some distance.

The test I use to know if a woman would be suitable for me is... "Could I introduce this woman to my mother?". If yes, worth pursuing further. If no, run!

But I'm happy with my life now. I have a loving wife. I'm not actually married to her myself, you understand! ;)

I think to have a good marriage you have to learn first, to fight well.  Those married people who say they never fight...are either lying or...one of them is being run over.

Same with any close relationship though...disagreements are inevitable.  It's how you handle them that counts.  Denying the fight is just causing the next one to be bigger...until something gets resolved.

I agree with the idea that marriage isn't for everyone.  Personally, I'd be lost without my wife...

NOPE!

I don't do any of those things.

Don't have a wife and fairly sure that, while a girlfriend would be nice, I don't want another one.

Been married to the same beautiful loving woman for 27 years now. First marriage for both of us.

We didn't marry for money because we both didn't have any... we learned the first word very young..."Compromise".

It wasn't always a smooth road lined with sunshine and flowers, we've had the rocky spots also. But we both agreed that anything worth keeping was worth fighting for. And we fought. With age comes Maturity and as we grow older together there's more and more days filled with laughter and love than before.

If I found myself without her tomorrow, no I wouldn't remarry.  It just wouldn't feel right. We've been through alot together. She's a Cancer Survivor. You really know how much you love the other when you think she's gonna pass on soon.

As for watching any movie she wants..I'm for it.

She's a great cook and now a Suishi Chef. Great sense of Humor.

She's givin me 3 beautiful children.

She's a keeper.

:aok

So, does being married several times make someone an expert on successful marriage, or…?

AWMac,

Your wife is a sushi chef?  In a restaurant, or at home?

Just when I though my wife was perfect…  hmm.
