    Yea. I'm *this* close to kicking the husband out.


    He snores and steals the covers. That's grounds for divorce.

    It can be a big adjustment. It's not easy. It's WORK. But just like everything else, the amount of work you put into it = what you get out of it.
    I love having a best friend to cuddle up in front of a movie on chilly evenings, rub my back after a rough night at work, share silly inside jokes, plenty of sex!, and he's the first to high five me when I'm excited about my accomplishments. I love living with my hubby.

    hahaha no actually I MEANT it the way you read it.
    My ex and I did for about 9 months! EEK!
    However, I'm glad we did. Because I think we get along better than a lot of divorced people.. We had no choice.

    I am soooo glad that I moved in with my SO 3 years ago...still not married....but when we get married...it won't change cuz we already got used to each others crappy habits!

    I think divorce rates are high because people move in together after marriage!

    Nah. Vastly overrated. All the fun's gone now the marriage is an actuality.. Do a runner and start off somewhere else under a different name. Start again. I have been doing this for 45 years.

    I'm usually pretty quick, but I have no idea what in the name of Ben and Jerry this means.

    I feel the same way, I dated my fiance for 6 years before he proposed, and I have been living with him for 2 years so far...so I already know what to expect after our wedding, we are so used to living with eachother now :) I don't mind it actually...we get along very well.

    Just out of curiousity, did you have your maid of honor advise you to run away? Because my best man made it very clear what I should have done.

    I got you beat. I lived with my ex for 13 months after we decided it was over. I wish we became better friends but not so.

    I think it's so funny when we teach our childrens that when you get married everything is "peaches/cream and roses" BULL$H!T-it is work to make a marriage work-everyday. I have been married 26 years and I and he have had to work at it-but we have not given up-we have been through a DUI ($10,000 cost for that mistake of his), cancer, 5 children, bankruptcy, him developing diabetes, deaths of our parents....many, many other things. We live today in such a "throw-away" society that it seems its easier to throw it away than to fix it. I must be too old school for that

    Well that's just fantastic for you.
    I really hope someday if I've been married I have a happier disposition to show for it.


    Again you like most missed the point of this thread, it was kind of a spoof.
