anotherother24 Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I know this sounds ridiculous...but what do you all do with your time?? I was seeing a MM (stupid, I know..lol) and things basically have ended. Occasionally I pass by their house on my way from work though, and they are like...always home. They have their own little business and 2 young kids. So, neither of them really leave home for work or anything.... I just can't figure...what are they doing there all the time?? lol like ...what do people who have been married for 8 years do at home? I asked my mom and she said ...probably just be bored and watch tv. Alls I can imagine is like ......non-stop wild sex LOL but my mom assures me that it's highly unlikely they are having much sex at all. I know, it's none of my business....but I thought you all might have some insight on...the day in the life of married people....lol even though, I guess alot of you seem to be having some problems. Is it all that exciting?
ElvenPriestess Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 too often the IDEA of it is exciting, and the people involved don't understand the REALITY of it. You know, a fantastical marriage versus the real deal? The reality is it's like any relationship, has it's ups and downs, good and bad, bumps and turns. But maybe I shouldn't be advising you as I'm having a rocky time right now. lol. What I said is true though.
White Flower Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 My H works from home and I work part time so it feels as though I can never get away from him. I cannot even stand the sound of him breathing so I turn on the radio! Even when we were getting along we didn't fool around during the day; shame on him! He's so addicted to whatever he's doing on the computer he barely acknowledges my existence...except for meal times. But I've got a plan and I'll be asking him to move out soon. Then my days won't be centered on sorting out HIS bills, HIS clothes, HIS messes, or anything else of his. I'll be repairing the house and getting it ready for sale. Besides that it will be life as usual--living as most families do:) My kids and I enjoy sitting around the living room together and discussing whatever topic we're learning in school. (I am a returning student). Sometimes our discussions get heated, especially when discussing politics. My son has decided he is a republican! God help me...
OWoman Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 My son has decided he is a republican! God help me... WF I can't imagine what you did to deserve such a thing!! AO24, I don't think you'll find a "typical" marriage - they're all as different as the people involved in them. Some couples sit around and count the cracks in the ceiling, others interact actively and when they're not talking / having sex / eating / cooking / washing / cleaning together then they're taking the gap for some "me time" like brushing their teeth. Much like anyone else, I guess?

Touche Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Whatever you did with him, he's probably doing with her. As for what we do in our marriage (married over 12 years), we talk, watch TV together, go in the hot tub, cook together sometimes, work on our house, when it's nice we like to garden together. Gosh it's endless what we do at home. We plan trips and talk about goals. We play with our son..lately we've been playing that Guitar Hero with him. We read in bed. If our son is invited for the night, we have a date at home where we have dinner, turn up the music and dance. Gosh, I could go on and on about what we do at home. Why torture yourself with all of that though? Go out and find a nice single guy instead.

Sure you'd like to think that they are not talking- in separate rooms- and not having sex- but the reality may be much different. Not saying that it is but it could be. I never get tired of hanging out with my H- and we have fun every night.

Go out and find a nice single guy instead. this is exactly how we are, too. we aren't married yet, but close to it, and have been together for many, many years, living together, and engaged. why do people think that serious relationships spell doom? is it because they don't have one and have to believe they are aren't missing out just so they feel better? i don't get it.
