I really do love her. So much I can't even explain it. Just wish she hadn't gotten the "booby prize" in me. I'm a pain in the ass, ya know. :wink:

That was 10,000! Hope it was worth the wait for you. I LOVE MY WIFE!!!!!

God Steve, you better be the luckiest man on the planet because if she's all that then there has got to be at least a 50/50 shot she could get someone better than you!!! :wink: :wink:

Alright ladies (and men), before I move on to part two, I just thought I'd make sure to say that these are nothing more than humourous, and not intended to be serious. I love my wife too, but I don't subscribe to the believe that relationship is all about HER. I laugh WITH her, not AT her, and she laughs... Well, she laughs AT me. But that's ok!
That's part of the fun of it, isn't it? If you spend your whole life thinking that your sex is better, you can never laugh at all the silly things that go on half the time. Being with someone for a long time means letting go of all those haughty beliefs you held about yourself and learning to laugh at your own mistakes. Men desire respect and admiration, while women desire security and and little bit of fawning.
Besides, Keri always laughs when I strip down, swing my weiner from side to side and do the "WOO-WOO". Seriously, what's not to laugh about that little bit of hilarity?

In reply to: Wow, I can't belive Wildtrail's post. Good work. I'm impressed. I feel like I should send it to my ex. He was so slack jawed surprised when I dumped him...I was like "it's called effort, look it up"
Sometimes one person's view of effort is different than the others. I was dumped in a long distance relationship I was in. I made the effort to call her as often as she wanted (every day), plus I called her 6+ times a day the two weeks her parents were out of town and she was suffering seperation anxiety just to keep her semi-grounded. I regualrly got calls from her between 1am and 2am durring her break at work while I was trying to sleep (I had to get up at 5am). I sent her gifts, letters, and such. I guess she didn't see all the effort I was putting into the relationship, trying to make it work, and focused in on the fact that I wasn't making regular trips out to see her (I know probably I should have). She dumped me for a guy she had only known for about 3 months, and was married within 4 months. Taught me a valuable lesson. Don't base a relationship on pity, and don't date girls with serious problems with emotional stability, it isn't worth it.
BTW she did take meds for her depression and panic attacks.

Thanks, Marge. Don't bow down to me, though. I'm still not perfect. Better than a lot of men, maybe, but not perfect. I just try to do the best I can to make my wife happy and the best I can to the women around me.
In reply to: God Steve, you better be the luckiest man on the planet because if she's all that then there has got to be at least a 50/50 shot she could get someone better than you!!! :wink: :wink:
Something I already realize. Why do you think I do the best I can? :lol:

Oaky, some great comments here and some humorous!
I've been married to the same wonderful lady for 32 years now. I haven't learned all there is to this but enough to not get hit, nagged or bitched at regularly.
Yes, men need to feel wanted and loved (and so do you ladies!). It gives us a sense of importance and justifys our existence. Yes we do have some quirky habits but with tender love (and constant reminding!) we can be taught to put the toilet seat down. Just don't expect too much, too soon.
If any of you guys out there really believe that the ladies need us around the house, I am here to tell you forget it. Having a wife only 5' 3" I found that during my many trips abroad with Uncle Sam's Misguided Children (USMC) my wife had no trouble getting things from high shelves, learning to use a hammer and screwdriver correctly, keeping the yardwork up, hand the finances and fix car problems!
Quite a shock to get home after a year or more overseas to find that the house wasn't in ruins, kids doing fine, the car wasn't destroyed and our finances weren't near ruin.
All that didn't mean that she didn't miss me or wish I had been there. It only proved that life went on and she was more than capable of getting along in my absences.
Steve gave some great tips and many of them I use myself but the one thing that has meant more is understanding that your wife, girlfriend or significant other is an individual, with their own desires, dreams and goals. Respect that fact and give them the space and time to pursue those, always remaining supportive for when they need it.
I may not be the brightest guy around and you may not agree with me but I have a loving wife who is much smarter than me and whose career exceeds my own today. She said nothing when I went out and bought a new motorcycle and even attended a rally with me last year, she encouraged me to go to Oozefest this year even though she could not attend or climb, has supported me taking long climbing trips every year and still loves me in spite of my faults. :wink:
Go figure!

In reply to: So true, and so sad. Men want women because it's normal to want someone to love and be loved by. Unfortunately many women are so manipulative and self-centered that having them in your life is horrible.
OUCH, that was harsh :( :(

We all have our own 'issues'.....We are 13 years later and despite differences and 'quirks', my dear husband is still my first choice to hang out with. It is so important to have a friendship because when the sparks wear off.......

Oops yeah sorry, that wasn't directed at you. In fact it wasn't really directed at anyone in particular.
I just think it's sad that there's such a disparity between the delight and warmth which is so prevelant in the men's comments and the bitterness and disrespect which marks so many of the womens'.

I hear ya... Keri graduated from college on her own own, raised her (now "our") son for 4 years by herself and still has a great personality to boot. So, needless to say, she's not one of those life-sucking beasts you named.
