Not quite spouse yet, but absolutely appreciate the fiancé


Fiancé doesn’t count. Everyone thinks their finance is magic.

You aren’t truly married until you scrub your husbands shite splatter off the back of the bowl 10 mins before he says it’s time for a BJ.

We’ve been together for a few years. I promise, it counts.

I can appreciate everyone commenting that their wife is their best friend ect..... but, for the ones who say they couldn't live without her....Yes, yes you could.

I really appreciate my wife and she's the best wife in the world. I truly believe that. I think i have a good point of reference because this is my 3rd marriage.

She grinds my coffee beans and starts the percolator every morning. She makes pre-prepared meals for me to eat when she's out of town, like she is right now in California.

She's patient and loving and she let's me do whatever dumb shite I feel like doing. If I want to drink coffee and smoke weed on the porch all day, fine. If I want to work in my woodshop all night long, fine. If I want to blow money on a woodworking tool, she never cares nor even notices.

I do my best every day to make her smile and laugh. I do need to do better about things like flowers, but we are genuinely happy together. We still play Skip Bo card games together every single day.

She's around her mid 40s and she plans to retire in 5-10 years (I dont work anymore but I hesitate to call myself retired) and we will have no issues with being around each other, traveling and hanging out just the two of us.

Dude, this board is full of Southern men who constantly bitch about their wives. Half the time you begin to suspect that they're really gay and are just pretending to be married and hate their fictional wife because they're trying to come up with an excuse for why they aren't married.

shite yeah man. I've made a few mistakes and im stubborn. shite happens but it's all worked out.

There's a song "Lucky I Guess" by Jason Boland, a true Oklahoma baw that's basically the story of my life.

"Im still the best off person that I know, im just lucky I guess"

I wasn't smoking back then. Both divorces happened while in the military. Not to make excuses for some of my mistakes, but being a combat arms NCO in the Army isnt great for marriages.

I appreciate my wife and tell her and show her daily.

I’ve been married 32 years and I’ve found one kind of ridiculous thing that somehow keeps absolute harmony in my home. If my wife asks me to do something, I immediately stop what I’m doing and go do it, every time. She does the same for me. These very small acts communicate in a very tangible way that I respect her and that she is important to me. These little acts all day every day just reinforce how much I appreciate her and it just makes life easy. We never fight and absolutely enjoy being around each other.

About your outburst, as the husband and leader of your home, your wife and kids should see you as a “refuge” from the world. You should be the one unshakable thing they can always count on. If that means absolutely suppressing what you are feeling you must do that. If you can be that person, they will confide in you and absolutely come to you as a trusted voice, knowing you won’t lose your temper and will be level headed.

Damn. You are spot on. Yes doing what my wife asks immediately is small but priceless. It's the intentionality of letting them know they were heard.

My wife doesn't care how much or little I do but if she asks for something no matter how small and I ignore it then she's pissed.

Communication in all things especially with your spouse.
