You want marriage?! You can HAVE it! I'm done with it!

I truly hate you. You're a two faced whore-bitch. You tried ever so skillfully to steal my DH away and when he didn't fall for the bait you only tried harder. Sending old photos of you two, calling him "for help and advice", preying on his good nature. All it got you was a few conversations with him and a sly and ruthless enemy in me. Now, you are back as your own marriage crumbles, hoping now that you are available he will leave me. Guess what? HE WON'T. Grow the fuck up and get the fuck out. If you don't, I'll get serious and file charges. Shit just got real, fucker. No games this time.

Yes, I lack the self discipline to watch what I eat and excersise regularly. Know what I have the self discipline for? I have the discipline to be an active and attentive parent. I have the discipline to run a clean and well organized and maintained home. I have the discipline to watch what I say to family and friends in order to keep my relationships strong. I have the discipline to work hard at a twenty year marriage. And before all of this I had the discipline to get a Master's degree and have a productive career. I'm sorry to annoy you with my lack of discipline regarding my weight.

I will always be the hands-on home improvement person in our marriage. DH is a dream come true, but whenever he has to do anything physical, he bitches the entire time. He gets a totally pissy attitude from the start, which always reminds me why I normally just do this work myself. Noted.

i love the marriage advice that tells women to subtly hint repeatedly with a solution to a problem so that the man will eventually get it, and 'come up with it on his own.' I'm not a score-keeper most of the time BUT why should HE get all of the credit?!?

Many years ago, my uncle divorced his 2nd wife; they remained friendly. One day, she and her dd from a previous marriage stopped by & they decided to order in lunch. My uncle gave the girl money to go get the food and told her to get lottery tickets with what was left over. He hit for $10 million. His ex-wife sued for half of the winnings - and won.

I still remember back when I told me ex-H that I wanted to separate. He suddenly wanted to work on our marriage. For awhile, I found it confusing. I had talked to him about being unhappy in our marriage and that my needs weren't being met. He blew me off. I tried for years to improve our marriage and he wasn't interested. Why was it suddenly important to him? Then, I realized what happened. He didn't give a shit about my happiness; he had been perfectly content and me moving out was going to affect him negatively. It was scary to start over, but years later, I'm so thankful I did.

The day that my husband came home and told me that he was falling in love with his female co-worker was one of the worst of my life. They hadn't yet started a physical affair, but they had talked privately about their desires and feelings. The only way we got through it was that he cut off ALL contact with her, took a new job, and let me know about any attempts she made to talk to him. We got through it, thanks to his willingness to be honest, his sincere regret, and a good marriage counselor.

I wish I had a good example of what a good, strong marriage looks like in my life. Everyone I know, myself included, is divorced. I love seeing older couples that are still together well into their golden years. Those are the ones I hope to be like someday.

I've been married 12 years. He's the love of my life, he fell in love at first sight after not believing in marriage and being childfree (he was 27) I knew when he came to talk to me that I belonged with him. However, I don't think we could survive a tragedy like the death of one of our girls. He lost his Dad at 12 and doesn't handle death well. I'm certain he'd blame me or push me away if something happened.
