Life has ups & downs. Any relationship has that. Have been lucky to be married almost 25 years, it has not been easy. My wife was diagnosed with MS, so we cannot do allot of things we used to do. Sometimes you think you have problems until you hear other peoples problems. Have learned that sometimes you need to step away from situations & give yourself a little time instead of just Blirting something out in the heat of the moment. But also understand, some people, no matter what you do, are just miserable, unhappy, people that you cannot change.

Hey, marriage has its highs and lows. Whether it's worth saving depends on a lot of things. I accept that some guys think putting up with a certain amount of unpleasantness is balanced by other redeeming factors. useless.gif

Me? No...and perhaps for the best...I still live on YOUPLANET :D

 

My parents live in different states...for the better.

 

My sister seems to ride a rollercoaster with her baby daddy.

 

I am far from anything beggining to consider starting to resemble an inkling of experience in the field, but if you want it to last, look for that someone like you will be stuck with them forever.

 

Hope you can get it worked out. Or can get out.

Simple. Commitment and integrity and vows means something to some of us. We live in a world where it is acceptable now to simply throw something away like a marriage when something goes wrong instead of giving our best efforts to make something right when both still have the desire to make it work out. Compromise is not a bad thing.

Your personal experiences will influence your views on marriage. I have had a very positive experience lasting 40 yrs and excellent role models with in-laws and my parents. I liked sharing the experience of raising a family and I adore having grandchildren! I know I was fortunate to find a partner that likes being married to me as much as I like being married to her. The only suggestion I can think of for the OP is a gm truck forum may not be the best source for relationship advice! If you seriously want guidance with your relationship, speak to someone you know and trust or a professional in this field.

I don't remember any "contracts" only a commitment, and a devotion of my life to a partner that I promised to spend the rest of my days with. She made that very same commitment, a promise, a 'vow'. We vow things that we take most seriously.

 

Mine was to my soulmate, one that I'll never be without, not as long as I'm breathing.

 

Of course nowadays we are on the heels of the second generation coming from the times where our president told the youth that he wasn't having sex, (because it didn't involve both of them in the traditional sense) and they've sense grown up, and have children that have (almost) grown up all hinging on those words, that 'sex' is not SEX.

 

And that's like saying "I'm a little bit pregnant". No such thing as a 'little bit'.... you are either in all the way, or you are NOT.

 

Marriage is something that you're in all the way on, even when it doesn't feel like it. Don't have to give up on your 'space', or your 'hobbies', or your 'time', just remember that there is always a time and place for both of you to have them all. :-)
