Woggle Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 Last night one of my old friends from New York came to visit and he brought his wife plus one of his friends and his fiance. My wife plus the other two couples decided to go on sort of a triple date and then went back to our house for a nighttime dip in the pool. You could tell that all three couples genuinely love each other and neither of my friends seem to be whipped into submission nor did their wives seem to resent them. It was such a nice contrast compared to the misery I witness from many of my coworkers and neighbors. It feels good to see my wife and I are not the only couple like this.
quankanne Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 you really need to surround yourself with people in normal, healthy and happy relationships, otherwise you're going to go through your life with a bad outlook on relationships. yeah, there are some crappy people out there, but the good news is that they're not ALL crappy ... there ARE decent folks, too. Who are decent to their mates and have a respect for their relationships.

Touche Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 You really might wanna consider moving. I see happy couples quite often. I know. I don't get it. I've never thought that my H and I were the only happy couple around. Go figure.
HsMomma Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 I know. I don't get it. I've never thought that my H and I were the only happy couple around. Go figure. Me either. When I read the original post, all I could think about was, "Wow...it must be awful to be surrounded by such unhappy people." My next thought was, "Why would you WANT to surround yourself with those people???"
angie2443 Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 . It feels good to see my wife and I are not the only couple like this. It feels good to see you write something positive about relationships! Surround yourself with positive people. It makes for a much better life.
Author Woggle Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 It's not that I want to surround myself with people like this but it tends to be what I mostly see. What I see my friends in NJ going through and what I hear from the women in my office really make me jaded towards women in general.
Author Woggle Posted July 31, 2009 Author Posted July 31, 2009 This is true. I know it will probably be a matter of time before I am on my anti-woman kick but I rarely ever see happy couples. All I see is my two friends n NJ who are good guys going through drama with their women and the two office misandrists high fiving each other about how they abuse and cheat on their men. As much as I might bash women I go out everyday hoping to be proven wrong and last night I saw a rare sign of light.
quankanne Posted July 31, 2009 Posted July 31, 2009 It's not that I want to surround myself with people like this but it tends to be what I mostly see. hate to burst your bubble, but you're fooling yourself when you say you're not surrounding yourself with miserable examples – out of the millions of people that walk this planet, and the hundreds of thousands who are happily ensconced in a relationship, you tend to gravitate to the stories of the miserable ones. Like you're some kind of magnet that can only bond with dark misery. there ARE folks out there who love each other, who are honest with each other, who are good to each other, you just need to open your eyes and look out for them. Otherwise, you end up with the same old jaded view ...

Notice he has no stories of men ever being at fault in the miserable relationships that he sees.

Notice he has no stories of men ever being at fault in the miserable relationships that he sees. Most of the relationships I see involve men bending over backwards to please women who throw it back in their face and treat them with no respect. I see it time and time again and it makes me very jaded. My wife does have a friend though who had her husband leave her for some drunk who cheats on him constantly. He is an idiot for giving up a good woman who treated him well for some no good cheater who just wanted to pull a man away from his wife for her own ego. Now he can't go back and it is all his fault.
