I'm getting married and..

  • blacky199 said...

    No trust issues in terms of infidelity or that stuff. I was wild in college..real wild. So an event such as bachelor party with wild friends in AC worries her a little

    A truly wild time in AC ends with one of only two outcomes:

    1. Fortified mega AIDS
    2. Your unrecognizable body zipped into a lye-lined duffel bag and slung deep underneath the boardwalk

    It's largely up to your hooker which one you get, so tip well after delivering the tip. Obviously there's no need to burden your betrothed and her friends with any of this, so keep the parties separate.

    Marriage is great, but for fewer people then believe so. Be sure.

    I used to get this from my ex all the time. The problem was that she never had any ideas for anything she wanted to do (or the stuff she wanted to do was stuff you do alone, like drawing), so when we did things they were always my ideas - and those things usually involved cool stuff like DC United, Maryland basketball, or Caps games. Pretty soon she just stopped coming along, and poof, no more marriage.

    I'm luckier/smarter now, and I have a fiancee who is a 10 in every way, most notably because she not only is always game to do the things I like to do, but also comes up with ideas for things I'd actually want to do anyway.

    Yes this is exactly how she said it too. The things she likes to do are things you do alone.
    She's pretty upset right now because I watched the all star game. She was like, I guess I don't have a choice!" I probably should've asked if I could watch it and we make the decision of what to watch together, that way I involve her in the relationship and not make it seem like I'm "doing my own thing again." Is that the right
    thing to do? This is really BS.

  • Not to get all baba but my wife is awesome and supports me having Maryland football and basketball tickets. Comes to most games. Has had hilarious conversations with A.C. on the way there ("I've never talked to someone with such fancy gold teeth" backed by "Why do you call him "Big Meech?" he was hilarious in response. Also she lost a bet with me that he would prefer some type of natural chips over Doritos, lol).

    Obviously I have to make up points in other areas, but that's what compromise is about.

    Anyhow, if you have a balanced relationship with give and take marriage is awesome. If somebody's controlling in any abnormal way, forget it.

    She wants to have control over what you two do, but doesn't actually want to make the decision or even put any thought into it. Basically she wants veto power until you come up with a plan she likes.

    This will only get worse. If she bitched over you watching the All-Star Game, imagine what will happen when you want to travel for a Terps NCAA tournament game and there's a garden show or some other horseshit that weekend that she thinks you should attend with her instead. Run, don't walk.

    if you contribute on #3 you can control (sort of?) #6

    also in re: #4 if you want to still have a baller lifestyle getting rowdy and smoking bowls on a balcony but still be married and responsible and have kids, just move to brownstone brooklyn and live the life described in this wretched, awful, horrible article!

    Was that an excerpt from 50 Shades of Grey? I'm just going to pretend it was.

    Yah I know, she already told me that she's dreading the upcoming md bball season because she has to compete with that for spending time with me.
    Are most women like this though?

    Probably.

    Not any I'd want to be in a relationship with, though.

    Some are. I used to think most/all were, but then I met my fiancee and realized just how much time I'd been wasting before.

    At minimum, a girl that loves you will be happy that you're happy doing something and will want to come along for the ride - especially if you're willing to compromise and do the same for her.

    Just run. Life is too short for that noise.

  • I just don't understand why I can't do things on my own like golf, bike, watch sports, etc. We can spend time later, right?

    Exactly. A good partner will allow you that time _and_ will join you for stuff too.

  • No. 1 is such an awful idea (and sign of trouble to come) that it really deserves its own thread.

    4) Will I get yelled at for trying to hang out with my friends? can I get drunk and stay over their homes? Do married people do this?

    A few weeks ago, I unintentionally passed out on a friend of a friend's couch. I woke up to find my phone accidentally on vibrate in a bag across the room, with no less than 64 missed calls, a few voicemails, and countless texts from both my wife and people she randomly contacted to try to figure out where the hell I was.

    So don't do that.

    Oh, and the friend of a friend was a girl, which made things infinitely better.

  • It's definitely a living in the country with land thing rdurr. Dogs loving being outside they can do whatever they want; sun tan, eat rabbits, go to the bathroom whenever...I'm losing this battle cuz its her dog and we are living in an apartment. I just hate having a house that smells like a dog and I will leave for work everday with dog hair all over my suit..White trashy/poor boy look.

  • what if she says , "ok that's fine we can do it separate. We are going to Miami just me and a couple girls...were probably gonna get raped"

    Only ones marrying the equivalent of Stu's first gf who fucked the bartender on the cruiseship. Did your fiancee fuck a bartender?

    I don't know what you mean, but it had the cadence of a joke.

  • Yeah I am getting married in April and if I was to ask my fiancee if she had ever considered a shared bachelor/bachelorette party she would laugh in my face.

    Haven't gotten my invitation yet, I'll just assume you don't have my new address.
