20 Years With My Wife

5 here, I stopped with the sixth as I started to mix up. “Every language opens new doors” is true.

Drawback: less (in my case no) care for tone/racial/gender/political correctness/oversensitivity as mainly found in English. Those are then a time wasting nuisance.

A woman awoke during the night to find that her husband was not in bed.
She put on her robe and went downstairs. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appeared to be deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She saw him wipe a tear from his eye and take a sip of his coffee.

"What's the matter dear? Why are you down here at this time of night?" she asked.

"Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating and you were only 16?" he asked.

"Yes I do." she replied.

"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car?"

"Yes I remember."

"Do you remember your father when he shoved that shotgun in my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter or spend twenty years in jail'?"

"Yes I do", she replied. He wiped another tear from his cheek and said, " You know I would have gotten out today." 🙁

Jeez, I'll have 20th anniversary of engagement in October... with my second fiancee.

Something to think about. Actually I've told her that I don't want to get married again, after such bad memories from the first round. Fortunately my present fiancee is a widow so that helps quite a lot, but we'll see...

Everyone I've known that got married the second time, did much better. I think that expectations are more realistic. You've already experienced the pitfalls and have a better understanding of what's important.

I don't like to tell young people not to get married. But I see destructive patterns being repeated. My niece got married at 24. She married a great guy. But I saw her doing the same thing to her guy that my wife did to me. She was trying to change every little detail of a perfectly fine guy. I could see it was going to cause problems. The guy was super stressed out about it just like I was 30 years before. I can vouch that being subjected to that just uses up so much of your energy - for nothing. The marriage started crumbling after a month and they were divorced 6 months later.

My wife tried to change so much about me, even though she didn't really know me as well as she thought she did. And change me she did - only not for the better. She made me mean and cynical and made me basically dislike women. She made me dislike myself too. I don't want to be this person. But hey I got to keep it real.

Woman, "A mass of conflicting impulses"
The two of us just passed thru 25 yrs...that's her as my avatar.
I need to be careful now , she has surgically increased her "sexual marketability".

I can add that my wife is quite smart and wise so she is very positive about my DYI-electronic hobby (despite it takes some portion of my money). She understands it well and she with her mother (my mother-in-law) even gifted me a soldering station I wanted, several years ago.

How does that nasty old joke go?
“Why do men die before their wives?
Because they want to”

But in reality, in my own case, the goddess I met at a sister’s high school grad party in 1971, and later allowed me the honor of being DNA donor to two fabulous children is still putting up with my shite, so count me as another lucky mother trucker. Not that there’s been much mutual transportation going on recently. 🙄
