Liar


My husband and I are both pretty stubborn. As a result we will argue over the stupidest things (we had a heated argument once over where the Tupperware went in the cabinets of the house we moved in...stupid shite like that). We both could work on our communication skills with one another.

Listening, compromise and unity in almost every issue you face. And if you're not prepared to make your marriage the number one priority, it will fail. Most parents say kids come first. That's wrong. The kids are positively affected by you making your marriage the priority. Parent together, love one another and the kid thing will have a better chance of succeeding all by itself.

When I hear of problems between couples, I assume 80% of the time, they relate to money or sex. Decreased male sex drive, plus aging, saggy old lady or just simply two people tired of being with each other is a recipe for disaster. Maybe dick drugs are helping things in that department, IDK.

The other 20% of problems are probably socioeconomic/cultural issues between the guy and girl's families.

Sao makes a good point about kids v spouse attention.

ETA, a lot of people are saying "communication," but that always seems like a code for something else.

It's all about communication.

Women are crazy and you somehow have to figure out a way to effectively deal with that. It isn't easy.

I'm getting better at that. And of waiting like 20 minutes after an argument and just going to him to apologize for my part in it....even if it's really his fault because in the grand scheme of things it's not something worth staying upset over.


I have a loud voice in general and when I get excited, upset, whatever...I tend to talk louder and not realize just how loud I'm talking. Sometimes that can be misinterpreted as me yelling at him. Drives him crazy.

No I think communication is likely the culprit. You can work through some of those issues (finances, sex, parenting) so much better if you can effectively communicate with one another about it.

Usually goes like this:

Husband: She hasn't said anything was wrong, so I assume everything is just fine. I'm not a mind reader. She seems ok, she's sitting there quietly on her laptop. Since things are great, I'm gonna go play some golf today.


Wife: Can't he fricking tell that I'm upset. It's like he doesn't even care. He should know that I'm not happy. I've given him more than enough hints and clues. I'm here all upset over this and that fricker is going to go play golf right now??!!!

Son, I was driving legally for a dozen years when you were still baby batter. I have seen IDK how many guys start off shite like you have, saying the same shite you do about not having kids. YOU might not change, but likely will. SHE might not change but odds are HUGE in favor of a reversal.

I know you think you have it all figured out, but trust me when I say this, you don't.

I don't even know if we own any Tupperware, much less care where it is stowed in the kitchen.

She doesn't know where the #8 stainless flat washers are in the garage so we're somewhat even.

It's my personal observation that for a married couple to have a good run the man & woman need to be friends with each other.

If you truly have that relationship basis with your spouse, it will allow you two to avoid many issues.

Not trying to be funny, but they don't make men or women like before. Both need a commitment to do whatever it takes to make it work. My wife is the greatest person I've known, she is so selfless. Yeah, careers, children and so on makes it tough, but in the end, mom and dad need to keep their shite together.....

Hope you are well.

We are just more likely to be ruled by our emotions that's all LCA.

And we don't wanna get taken for granted.
