The (Real) Cost of Love

Now why in the hell would i have sex with someone else if i'm married. What the hell was the point of getting married in the 1st place. People do it but it's something you just shouldn't do. Your marriage must mean shit if you have to become a rat and go behind your wife's back and screw someone else.

Forget the sneaking around. And no i don't go for b*tches. They're almost all like that. Just give them the time to settle with you, you'll see.

Because it gets boring to have sex with the same person all the time?

You have quite a negative view of people. But maybe you are right, my personal experience is more than limited.

What does that mean?

Ya know? I was really nice and didn't nag... cleaned the house too. I had the cleanest house in the whole neighborhood. I made my meals by scratch, but heaven forbit I should pick up a book.. 🙁

Books give you bad ideas. You are impressionable. I am with your Ex on this.

At least I exist. 😇

On another note, some people marry and it becomes a control issue, when that happens, love flies out the window.....

We all know that after the initial pleasantries that typically occur early in relationships die out after a while, after the first time, in women. Especially after they have kids.

From what I've heard, after child birth, they practically don't even want you looking at them, must less touching them.

Love isn't easy KMC'ers and it sure isn't free. A 50-year marriage will run you a cool $590,400, not counting courtship, children, medical, housing, daily food, her transportation, clothing and cosmetics costs or inflation Make it count.

This list is broken down into 3 subjects:

What you'll give her--What it costs in a year--What it costs over 50years

Flowers
$300 - $15,000

$21 - $1,050

Is she worth every penny? And less than half of that, on behalf of women, is spent on men over the same 50 years.

That's why the marriage thing with me is (sigh)....i dunno. Marriage is unnatural, 1st of all but some people can hack it.

Fair enough assessment, but what's with the four-and five-word generalization posts today? There was one gem of a post in the Bears thread, which proved the user didn't read one word of the thread to that point. If you're too lazy to read the thread, at least explain your views so people can be just as lazy when trying to decipher these vague posts.

Unless it's an inside joke, in which case I didn't get it.

One way to avoid Valentine's day and come out way on top:

Tell your significant other that you want to take her a state or 2 away and do something there. She'll say no, most likely because she'll either be working or be too busy that day, since it falls on a Wed. And if she says lets go during the weekend say "No" adamantly because it must be done on Valentines day other wise it won't be special to you. And if she complains about you not planning, tell her you wanted it to be a surprise.

But if she does decide to go on V-day with you....well, you're on your own.

Are you two states away from Alabama? If you are, you may want to take advantage of their lax laws of intimacy and actually follow through with the trip.

No but i'm a state away from Connecticut where America's largest casino is. Foxwoods.

It's what i'm gonna use. I'm gonna say "Happy V. day, baby. And for your surprise, we're going to Foxwoods! Today! Like now...so get ready..It's the best surprise i've ever given..And i'm doing it all for you. We'll have dinner there then play some Texas Hold'em and we'll even spend the night."

Checkmate lol i can see it unfolding now. It's fool proof. She'll most likely say "no" she'll expect me to get rightfully offended. She'll feel slightly guilty and i save alot of money. Cool beans.

But what do i say to her about her birthday on the 16th of Feb...
