What is LOVE.... sigh...

Doh! ANYBODY- Stories?
It wasnt MY drycleaning. It was love because it was ALL hers (including panties), and she had no idea I would clean up. (She did wash things, eventually- but more inclined just to buy more clothes!)sarak said:
A few years ago I was dating a guy from Rochester, we couldn't be together on Valentines day so I wanted to send him a package.
I spent 2 days in the kitchen baking cookies, banana bread, muffins and other goodies. Also bought him a nice watch and wrapped it up with all the goodies individually in tissue paper and ribbons and put it in a nice basket and shipped it to him fed-ex.

No stories. It's just that in the married couples I know, the wife eventually becomes the husband's "mom."Bear669 said:
Sooo ... you move out of mom's house, go to college, get a job, work hard, make money, go through all that dating BS, etc. ... all so you can go home to "mommy" again? I just don't see the point.
And if you derive happiness from anything else besides this formula, then you're a sex offender and you'll show up on Dateline NBC next! Amazing how society advances with all kinds of technologies, but is still addicted to the Ozzie and Harriett fantasy.
Hmmm, maybe that's how my Oedipal thing...
fits in with my kinky...
Oh, nevermind!

Any way you look at it love costs about 225 an hour.
You can rent it, love it or live with it. But you end up paying about 225 an hour!
Add up the gifts, the meals, travel time, groceries, the incedentals and all the rest. It DOES add up!
Like the old Fram ad..Pay me now or ..Pay me later!
We're done as men once we get married. She buys a dress..we RENT a Tux.
Notice something wrong with that purchase? Amd it goes on from there.
Love is a wonderful thing, but no matter how you look at it, money is involved. Love and lust both come with a price. Both have benefits...depends on what you want!

While not explicit, I assume you dont do that for every date, and you LOVED the guy?Sasha Jones said:
love story
So you want a love story eh? I knew a little boy who when he was 8 years old obtained a pen pal from an island in the S. Pacific. He obtained this pen pal through a cousin of the little girl who was here in the USA going to school and who had become friends of his family.
As the years went on the boy went to high school.One morning surprising his parents with the words I wrote to her parents to ask their permission to marry her. She came to the states-the boy and his lady were married.

I have quite the opposite expierience. Most of the married couples I know...High_Roller said:
The Husband has to jump through hoops...Or feel dear wife's wrath.
They all work 60 hours a week, minimum...but ( half the wives don't work outside the home, and about half have no kids) gotta do their 50% of the housework too. Oh, and they have to get permission to, go out, spend money or have fun.
I find that a lot of today's wives want to control their husband at all costs.
men and women will they ever understand each other
Let me say something from a woman's viewpoint here.If a man is at work all the time hes usually not interested in his home,he leaves it in the care of the wife.When she wants him to help with the housework etc its not just housework its how she identifies herself.(Especially if she is at home all the time.) A woman's home is a reflection of herself.So if hes helping with the house hes being with her and interested in her. About the money.
Guys, when they work lots of hours and bring home a big income, think they can spend whatever on anything they want---well they should be allowed somethings yes,but it could be the wife being more stingent with the money, to protect her husband. Sometimes what he wants to spend the money on takes him away from her. I totally believe a man should help out with the house--otherwise his wife becomes his mom, he doesnt realize how much it takes to run a house and how messy he becomes when he doesnt have to help.
If men want better relationships with their stay at home wifes then encourage her to have other outlets--and find interests they can do together outside their home.

I was once married but never have been jailedPHNINE said:That is a very interesting observation Rose. I wouldn't disagree with you, however considering I have yet to commit to a serious relationship such as marriage, I can't really experience it first hand. But good post.
somethings a man can pass on
Hey man, I got married. Once. In Vegas. To a molecular biologist, at The Little Chapel Of the West, at 11pm on a Tuesday night.
You want me to tell you what love is? Bitch, you crazy!

That's so true.Diode said:
Only one guy I know is married to a NON ball buster.
The rest are out and out ball busters, or the passive agressive ball buster.
Why is it that generally speaking women never stop bitching at their husbands and seldom do you see the reverse.
I think the trick is to make sure that you establish some sort of your own life from the get go. Always have a joint account for example with her, but you need to have your own account as well.
Love is a facade.
It is a merely a requirements checklist. Like evaluating and RFP. When a certain percentage has been reached so is the partnership.
Granted each checklist can be different for everyone and the items on that checklist can be weighted differently in importance, but for the most part its mathmatical.
Falling out of love is because this checklist is a living breathing document and changes over time, and so does the criteria and it's weighting.
So love isn't "je ne ce qua". The idea of love is formulaic.
It's just that sometimes people don't know what the checklist is until it hits them in the face. Then that's when you run into trouble.
So take a note from the PMI Project Management Book of Knowledge. More planning up front cause less problem as you pursue your deliverables.
My checklist for Love is accomplished without monogomy. But I can't call it love because it isn't monogomous. It's a sham, a rouse.
Ok, I'm ready for the boos and hissss.
