JamesM Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 All I did was wax her bus. Did her H know?!? Sounds like some euphemism I have heard. Anyhow, as someone said most people who post here do so when the times are tough. What is the point of posting that "I am having a great marriage right now?" Odds are that someone (like TDP ) will retort with a "Who cares?" So we post when we are down. And so the responses reflect our moods or experiences. While I try to keep my responses objective, it can be hard. As a thread starter, you simply have to take what seems to be helpful and ignore the rest. Having received much help among many perspectives, I can say that it is worth posting problems on LS. However, I can say that knowing where each person comes from and what his or her experiences are certainly helps determine if the advice given will be helpful to you (or me). Anyhow in response to your question.... First marriage and I intend it to be the only marriage. Married over twenty years to a very beautiful woman with a special...in a very good way... personality. And if it weren't the case, then it wouldn't be worth all of the trouble. We have four children who make life enjoyable and keep us young. While it certainly is not a perfect life, I can say that I have not found any other option that is as perfect for me. Would I like to make changes? Yes. Would I like a different partner with different children? Never.
InternationalPlayboy Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 I'm a Mormon with five wives so I have lots of experience. Actually, it was kind of funny. And I'm married (13 years) with two kids.
Holding-On Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Open marriage (double digit years), with kids.
2sure Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Recently Divorced. Again. My Hindsight is Great. Its the trains coming AT me I have trouble seeing.
reservoirdog1 Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 Divorced 7 years, two kids (G12, B9). Currently in the early stages of what I hope will be a long-term relationship. Initial indications are excellent.
threebyfate Posted September 30, 2010 Posted September 30, 2010 All I did was wax her bus.You can wax my bus anytime! And anyways, it's now your party bus for your wedding!
giotto Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 together 25 years, married 20, 4 kids (9, 12, 15, 18)... staying for the kids, really, although it's not too bad...
Citizen Erased Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 You can wax my bus anytime! And anyways, it's now your party bus for your wedding! That just sounds...wrong.
Silly_Girl Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Was with someone 6 years, married, divorced, one amazing son. With someone 8 years, escaped. Embarking on relationship with someone who until recently was living with his wife.
Pyro Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 You can wax my bus anytime! And anyways, it's now your party bus for your wedding! woohoo party!!!!!!!!
JamesM Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 You can wax my bus_ anytime! And anyways, it's now your party bus for your wedding! That just sounds...wrong. I know....
Pyro Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 I know.... she only said it because of your original comment James You'd have to look back at TrialByFires original posts to get what we are talking about.
JamesM Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 she only said it because of your original comment James You'd have to look back at TrialByFires original posts to get what we are talking about. Hey...YOU have to explain it to CE not me. But I am guessing that CE, being as sweet and understanding as she is...well, understands.
Pyro Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 Hey...YOU have to explain it to CE not me. But I am guessing that CE, being as sweet and understanding as she is...well, understands. Nothing more than a mad woman at the time who wanted to run someone over with a bus. Of course she understands.......I think.
carhill Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 51, married 9 years, separated, amicable divorce proceeding, no children. Didn't comment in your threads but, having read them briefly, PMC and a long engagement would be my advice. Check back with us after six months of PMC. You pay for it. Good luck
quankanne Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 44, married 18 years, no kids from our marriage nor his two previous marriages, but TONS of kids in the family we've helped guide/raise. as for the comment, "oh, (s)he's bad, you need to get out of the relationship ASAP" ... well sometimes it's easier for an outsider to see the obvious red flags in someone else's relationship, and we can offer additional insight based on our own experiences to help the poster make a more informed decision. Not because we're people-bashing, but so that someone doesn't end up in an obviously unhealthy relationship ...
JamesM Posted October 1, 2010 Posted October 1, 2010 as for the comment, "oh, (s)he's bad, you need to get out of the relationship ASAP" ... well sometimes it's easier for an outsider to see the obvious red flags in someone else's relationship, and we can offer additional insight based on our own experiences to help the poster make a more informed decision. True. And because we give feedback based on the information given. So later after persistent questioning, then you find that the situation presented in the first post is actually quite different. Ah, now it all makes sense, and different responses are given. Posters must always remember that the readers only know as much about a situation as is given here on LS. many posters (and I have done this, too) assume that the readers understand more than they do.
Citizen Erased Posted October 2, 2010 Posted October 2, 2010 Nothing more than a mad woman at the time who wanted to run someone over with a bus. Of course she understands.......I think. I am aware of the "hilarious" story behind it. I retain my original statement.
