Answer 1

Uncle Wayne: Are you in the "dog house" now? Lol :-P

Answer 2

Today is my 31st wedding anniversary, so I'd say that marriage is not entirely impossible. However, the day is not over yet. ;-)

6 months -- that's minor league stuff. Just wait until you're sitting somewhere one afternoon with a glass of peach ice tea in your hand, peacefully contemplating the cosmos. About that time, your beloved spouse suddenly announces in a tone of impending doom, "How can you sit there so calmly when you did thus-and-so??"

The only problem is that for the life of you, you can't remember EVER doing thus-and-so. Then it hits you. . .a year (or two or three) ago, you *did* indeed do the very act of which you are now being accused.

Except B.S. (see reference above: Spouse, beloved) didn't act upset at the time, never mentioned anything to you about it afterwards, and generally behaved as if all was hunky-dory in his little corner of the universe. Wrong, and wrong again, as you are about to abruptly discover for yourself.

These "Diatribe delayed on account of spousal temper storms" sure plays heck on your cosmic contemplation, your afternoon, and the enjoyment of a glass of peach ice tea, lemme tell ya what.

Answer 3

It is impossible today. Women have become entitled to the point that a normal man could never sustain their happiness for a very long length of time. Add to that the extremely high amount of affairs and promiscuity considered standard today and you can either give up on marriage in the United States or surrender and be miserable in a loveless marriage that benefits only the female provided for that may decide to stick around solely for financial gain. Those are the real world choices of today in our country.

Weeeeellll....my husband is interior the protection stress and we are aside each and all of the time. we've been married for 11 years now and doing ok notwithstanding this is no longer elementary. In some approaches i like the independence and being on my own from time to time. yet once you have babies down the track one among you would be taking the lion's proportion of the childcare (whether you deliver them to daycare somebody's paintings nevertheless suffers) and it particularly is easy to grow to be envious if the different companion is tripping international. For me i do no longer omit the intercourse that plenty whilst he's away. yet he's a sprint a tiger and mutually as I do have confidence him...each and every now and then a sprint theory is available in... i think of you're able to make it paintings, yet you will could desire to paintings out some floor regulations. while you're youthful then verify you have a solid time and are not getting too intense too quickly letting existence bypass you by capacity of.

Answer 5

The first marriage was sort of a, well, nightmare.
Got two wonderful children from it.
The second is absolutely amazing. In the first I never went into the doghouse, so to speak.
It was a kennel every day.
Well ok that's a stretch but I did walk on a lot of eggshells pretending she was right all the time.

Answer 6

no I'm fortunate my husband rarely remembers anything that gets me in trouble....
that being said, in all our years of marriage (19) I've seen him get truly angry only 3 or 4 times.
He's been annoyed, but rarely truly angry. One time was when we first moved in to our current home. There was a massive cedar tree in middle of the back yard and he liked it, but I didn't know how much until one day when he was at work and I asked my son and his friends to arm themselves with saws and shave off the bottom 5 feet of branches from the tree.... when my husband came home he hit the roof. I swear I didn't know he liked it that much.
anywho now I've arranged a bench, some mulch, plants and a lovely planter under the tree and it looks gorgeous and he loves it.

blessings uncle wayne :)

Answer 7

To answer the Impossible question....No. I tell my children (and school children) the only impossible thing is to lick your own elbow. Everything else is possible. (did you try to lick your elbow? ~ everyone does).

Sorry you are in the DH. Look at it this way, it is nice outside and the stars have been a sight...lol. You'll be out soon.

Answer 8

No.

Marriage is not 50/50.
Sometimes it's 80/20.
(Sometimes both think they're the 80%)

Sometimes, in a crisis, it can be 100/0.

Sometimes you're the 100.
Sometimes you're the zero.

It's a relationship. (Sounds familiar)

When you (both) put Christ first, your partner second, any kids third, and yourself last things tend to work out.

There's reasoning behind that sequence, by the way, but that's another question.

Answer 9

Women have a weird way of holding on to things. You think the problem was resolved and six months later it pops up. Life is grand!

Answer 10

Marriage isn't impossible. It's only as difficult as the two people in that marriage make it, and what they're willing to do to make it work.
