Happy anniversary Baby!

War Wagon · Post by **War Wagon** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 2:20 am

That's right you assorted losers, trolls, and otherwise dysfunctional miscreants, Mrs. Wags and I today celebrated 26 years of wedded bliss.

Ah yes, October 28th, 1983... amember it like it was yesterday. Well, not so much since I had that seizure, but I'll never forget her dragging me to the Justice of the Peace, parents in tow, and the vague threat of a shot-gun nuzzled between my shoulder blades.

Took her out to dinner after work today, boys and girls, and did I ever go all out!

Golden Corral buffet, baby.... all you can eat!

Now, before your mouth drops in utter stupefication at the enormous means and romantic chivalry required of such a magnanimous gesture of my undying love and fealty... realize that I did indeed have a coupon for "buy one buffet dinner, get the second at 1/2 price" strategically stashed in my overly fat wallet.

Not that I let her know that, of course. But wait, it get's better....

I ordinarily just tell the wait staff we'll have ice water, but since today was such a special day I told 'em what the hell, we'll have coffee (that comes with free re-fills, right?).

Yes, it's been a good day.

:bode:

Oct. 29th is my daughters B-day and I've got big plans for her as well.

She gets to come home for Thanksgiving!

Wow! I'm such an amazing husband and father, it's really hard to stay humble up in this bitch.

Quite a coincidence.

Well smackie.... happy 31st, I suppose.

I wish you no regrets.

I have none, at least as far as the wife is concerned.

Wags,

We should all love our wives, those who have one. Smack aside, congrats on 26. I just hit 7 this year. Both my parents and my wife's parents are still married. Good thing we have great examples to live and learn from aside from the losers who decide divorce is the right answer.

Yes... yes, and no.

A wise man once said: "the greatest thing we can do for our children... is to love their mother".

And yes, both our parents were "until death do us part" types and that's exactly what they did. That's my intention.

But no, I won't call anyone who has been divorced a loser. They made a mistake and there but for the grace, go I.

I got lucky and narrowly averted divorce, but only because of an intervention. Thank God.

Sorry, just don't believe in divorce unless someone is getting physically abused. Cheating fucks and simply unhappy assholes who simply want a divorce because the spark ain't there no more are at fault for getting into in in the first place. Losers. Maybe my view is skewed because I would never think of cheating on or leaving my wife nor do I believe she would do either, but isn't that what it is all supposed to be about when you say "I Do"???

A vow is a vow. Let me turn it around on you Wags. If you vowed to protect your daughter and then decided not to for whatever reason, would you be a loser?

Nice Night (50's) so I tossed some Strips on the Grill, hammered down some New Castles and Watched the Yankmes lose - All in All a Damn Good Day

If only it were that simple.

Yes, your view is skewed.

Many infatuated kids get married because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time... when they were young, dumb, and full of cum. They didn't know any better and then later found out they didn't love this person lying next to them. They were incompatible.

And some people get lucky, keep their nose to the grindstone, and learn to love that person lying next to them. Sometimes because they felt like they didn't have any other choice.

I got lucky.

A little less self-righteousness, please.

You started off strong going the jiminphilly wife joke but the 2nd part was more of a rumple wife joke. My wife looks NOTHING like Rumps wife. Next time instead of bucket of wings, try low mein noodles (perhaps mix in a chinese food order joke).

Sorry Wags, when it comes to marriage and your sacred vows, I'd prefer to be self-righteous. For those who fail, so be it. How can they have sacred vows once and then marry again with sacred vows? It is not religious. It is simply saying I vow to this person, then NO I DON'T, then yes again.

Mr T,

Your this and then this comparison had absolutely nothing to do with one another nor did the quotes contradict themselves. Since I don't spreadsheet, let me guess...you're divorced. I may be wrong and if I am so be it, but your reply to what I said reeks of "reaching" because I called you a loser.

Screwball,

Believe it or not, some people in life actually find happiness. Wags has. I have. I think 88 has. Wolfie has. Many here have found it. Many here have failed too. Pre-nup? Bwa! If you only knew...

smackaholic · Post by **smackaholic** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 12:48 pm

I'm with indy on this one.

My parents divorced when I was 7 or 8. It fukking rips a kids heart out when this happens and I sure as hell don't want to put my kids through it. Atleast not when they are young. Not saying I will when they are older. The OL and I have pretty much figured out that while neither of us is pefect, we coulda done worse.

Ain't I romantic?

I think what indy is trying to say is that too many look at divorce is no biggy. Just another decision. That's bullshit. It should be looked at as a last resort when you come to the realization that you absolutely can not stay together another minute without somebody getting killed.

Congrats wags.

We will be married 19 years next march.

Rack all you fukkers that stuck it out.

And what smackaholic said too...the "nonchalantness" of divorce these days is what I was really alluding to.

If that's what he meant to say, then that's what he should have said. Hard to argue with that, at least up to that point (I might take exception to the following clause in your last sentence, however -- divorce is always preferable to murder, and maybe it's not a good idea to consider divorce only when you're on the brink of a murder occurring).

But of course, that's not what he said. Instead, he referred to

IndyFrisco wrote:the losers who decide divorce is the right answer.

There's no "one size fits all" answer to this particular dilemma. And none of us ever knows the complete story of what goes on behind closed doors. In the U.S., half of all marriages end in divorce, so the odds aren't all that great that any of us will make it all the way. And believe it or not, not all divorces occur because someone got a wandering eye, or got bored, or thought that the grass was greener across the street. Sometimes two people just grow apart. Once that honeymoon period has worn off and you get bogged down by the everyday pressures of work, raising kids, taking care of the home, etc., it's very easy, although never advisable, to make your spouse a lesser concern. And sometimes a married couple goes through a crisis, which usually has one of two effects: either it makes the marriage stronger than ever, or it tears them apart.

Perhaps Indy's marriage hasn't yet truly been put to the test. If that's the case, he's very lucky. But that also would beg the question: how will he respond if/when it later is? I don't know the answer to that, but I would bet that it might change his perspective about divorce just a bit.

On this particular point, not a good idea to judge somebody if you haven't walked a mile in his/her shoes.

indyfrisco · Post by **indyfrisco** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:26 pm

Terry,

I've been married over 7 years and with her for almost 10. Got kids 2 and 4. I'd say my marriage has been put to the test and it will continue to be put to the test. I'm not going to sit here and lie and say everything has been perfect 100% of the time. Anyone who says that after this long is a liar. I'm not going to look it up, but I'd be willing to bet that the percentage of marriages that last more than 5-10 years ending in divorce is MUCH lower than the 50% you said before.

And unlike you who tends to write a thesis to express yourself usually, some of us get by with expecting the audience to be capable of reading between the lines. If you can't do that, so be it.

Katy · Post by **Katy** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 4:36 pm

I realize that by posting what I'm about to post, I will be stocking your arsenals with smack fodder for the next 10 plus years.... But since I don't give a fuck, here goes:

I am divorced. Twice. Surprised? Probably not.

The first time I got married, I was 20. We divorced when my son was 13 months old. We divorced mainly because we weren't compatible and we thought it would be easier on our child to be apart rather than having him see us fight all of the time. I don't agree with people who "stay" together for the children. That often does more harm than good. My parents stayed together and probably shouldn't have. My parents are two of the most miserable people because they don't live separate lives. They're of the belief that divorce is wrong and that counseling is the only option.

The second time I got married, I was 27. We had two children together. I divorced husband number 2 because he was physically abusive and I didn't want that around my children. He's not in their lives and I'm glad of it.

Props to those of you who are happily married. Some of us aren't/weren't so lucky.

Are you really begrudging a guy because he puts a lot of thought and effort into his posts? Granted, I think Terry is a dreadful poster when it comes to humor and sports... but the post you're responding to was one of the most cogent and well-thought out takes I've read in a while.

indyfrisco · Post by **indyfrisco** » Thu Oct 29, 2009 5:51 pm

ucant,

Focus on the second half of what you quoted. I rarely read a Terry post in full. I'm not saying he sucks as a poster. I'm just saying he's long winded, and I just don't take the time to read his huge ass takes, usually. It was more about comparing the way I post to the way he does. If I'm misunderstood, I'm always willing to clarify. I'm just not the type who would typically spell out everything to a T leaving no doubt as to my stance on a subject the way Terry and Van do.

I just don't have the time.

The only way I'd leave Mrs. Rumps is if she cheated on me. <----- Go ahead and have some fun with that if you must.

I can take the constant abuse; the rollovers in bed, when I reach for the last chicken wing, getting sucked into an event horizon when Mrs. Rumps takes a stroll on the treadmill, etc.

It's all gravy baby.

Rack you Wags for carrying on a traditional marriage.

Congrats.

Good for you. If you (and your wife) don't want to get divorced, then don't. It's a free country. Just don't presume to make or influence that decision for anybody else. It really isn't any of your business.

As they say, opinions are like assholes. We all have them. I never said you or anyone else has to like mine, listen to mine or even read mine. But you're right. It is a free country. And I can express mine whenever the hell I feel like it. Just because I express it does not mean I am trying to influence others. To each their own.
