  This is not true in my case. I did watch a former best friend lose two wives because he couldn't mature fast enough for either woman. Rather

  than me watch the next marriage prospect wise up he took his little tent circus elsewhere.

  Please consider that I have not written any blog so my opinions are not on a top level. I just need to speak & comment.

  An infinite series can be or not (I don't know), but this kind of series is not so good if the only purpose is to delay ... marriage things & staff. Anyway, I like marriage stories.

  From some marriage stories I can see that high and distance are important! But, if I read between rows, I see that high and distance are not important! Two type of opposite info's at the same time.

  Many obstacles before a marriage are made because the "high" and "distance" factors. I am a little confused: beyond of distance & high, a country place is important or stories characters?

  Don't worry I am capable to verify my computer from half and half of hour. At least that I can do. Unfortunate, sometimes I must sleep. Believe me or not, I will stay here to read theories and stories and I will speak & comment anytime I will have the occasion (no matter how often).

  It's not an aggressive approach but a right "to speak". My weapon is a flower. An guard...

  A marriage story remains (it is a fact)... waiting for next (a reader).

  The Mike & Juliet show should be cancelled for having that half-wit Haltzman on as an educated speaker. What century is that man living in? The idea that the man is the only option for being the bread-winner of the family and should be treated like spoiled royalty is an age old way of life that has long gone by the wayside.

  Men who feel that they should be patted on the head and bowed down to need to get their handy dandy little tape measure out and measure their rinky dink penis'. Sounds like a load of egotistical crap to me and would never fly in my home.

  My husband and I are true equals - that is in everything with our relatonship and our home life. We both bring home the bread. We both serve EACH OTHER and pat each other on the back for a job well done. All of the men who believe this Haltzman's rhetoric should be air-lifted to the nearest desolate island and left to fend for themselves for a few minutes... guarantee they'd be crying for their mommy in a heartbeat.

  I thought my husband wanted a partner in his life, he did too. He even said "I want someone to be a partner with". He had no idea that his idea of a partner is unrealisic. He would like me to work full time, take extra hours if given the chance, keep a spotless house, make a homecooked dinner most nights (as in not from cans, boxes, or frozen), workout and keep myself thin, take the majority of the care of our pets, not impose my needs on him, and respect how hard he works (at home and sets his own hours)! He pays someone to care for the lawn, pays for car repair and washes. Other than doing online bill pay and occasional "house projects", that's it. He gets mad that I don't respect him for how hard he works and how much he earns. Geez I honestly don't have time to "show respect" when I'm trying to keep up with being a "partner". I ready to go back to taking care of my one self, small home, and my own issues. I'm tired of having to "pat the back" of a husband who couldn't even tell you the last "time he "patted mine. I think I got the raw end of this deal. Oh the worst part of this is that I don't think I could ever consider living with a man ever again.

  Isn't the number one reason for divorce FINANCES??? Where do these guys get their statistics? If the man has to carry all the financial burden, he will bring home his stress and may harbor resentment. This will cause conflict and misunderstandings, which causes relationships to fail! Maybe fifty years ago a household could survive on one income, but we're not all CEO's or hollywood actors to provide financially for an entire household!

  If I did not marry my marriage would fail that is a given.

  1. I need the intellectual stimulus (housework and staying at home bores me to tears, not because I am too busy but because it is boring)

  2. My SO loves the fact that I have my own life and he is not the centre and only thing in my universe

  3. I could not possibly tolerate having to rely on (read sponge off) a man for my income. My income and independence are defining me.

  4. I simply cannot phantom why you would put yourself into a trap. Being married, relying on a man and his income and nowhere to turn. If that is the definition of a successful marriage (You CON'T divorce as you'd have NOTHING) I bow out!
