Mr. Fixit! just yesterday she called me up to the master, not for that! she bought a 10' awning for the balcony which was laying on the floor in pieces and said "you can make this fit". I said "why didn't you buy an 8' ". her reply "because I want this colour fabric and I know you can do it! I said "you havn't sat down on that balcony in 35yrs" and waited her response "because it doesn't have an awning" FFS I lose again!
I think it's become a personal challenge for her now to find something impossible!

She said the most important thing was that she knew I truly loved her. She said after that, we would figure out the rest together, she's right!! 43 years later, two peas in a pod!!

I just asked my wife. She mentioned, "Hero", and followed that with "Warrior". I don't agree but that's what she thinks. I was just doing my job. She snorted with mild disgust and disappeared into the bedroom for a few minutes and came out holding my dress blues jacket with all of my decorations on it. She held it up and said, "Proof, I rest my case". Can't argue with that.

(RIP Lisa) I don't know
20 or so years ago now, the night before she passed
she had said;
that *"I was a good man" & then something about
*'her horses need to be brushed & blanketed'
before she fell asleep....
*That was one if not the last thing I heard (remember) her say...
She was a 1 of a million lady, good, caring & loving
very strong-willed, stubborn & very outspoken, she loved family & the animals...
(& her latest 89 Toyota Turbo Supra or her Horse trailer)
Attributes much like me, probably why we got along so well,
but I'm far more brutally honest when it's called for (opinionated/unfiltered),
then she was, she was more diplomatic...
I'd hope she'd say, if asked about me...
I was a great father, a good provider, honest, fun & sometimes funny
we joked/laughed a lot & we had 'great trust in each other',
I believe we did...
It will help to take/aide you threw all the hard times
'trust is love'

I don’t marry idiots anymore. Once was enough.
I’m honest and hardworking but sometimes also obnoxious and offensive.
I was always my true self with every woman I dated and spent time with and many couldn’t deal with it. I admit that I can be hard to tolerate.
Mary has seen me rail against cheats, liars and cowards so I can’t allow myself to be one of them. I make a commitment and I follow through even if I bitch and complain about it.
I hope that she would say that I am fun and trustworthy.
If she didn’t say that, I must have married another idiot.

For 30 years she has treated me like a king. Says I’m the most capable person she’s ever known. I remind myself every day not to **** it up.
Dang RC; ya don’t look anything like the photo you have as your header. After all this time I thought you looked like Marty Cranium…I mean Feldman. Sweet photo, suitable for framing.

This guy I know cited THIS as a reason to leave his 3rd wife. He got tired of being a piss boy...she always had some project in mind to eat up his free time. Garden, drapes, floor coverings, tile work, etc. The poor guy would come home with plans to wrench on cars and there she would stand...with some bullshit project that SHE could never do herself.
That would piss me off too.
Lol, had a boss who would tell me when I was managing a department “Come into work looking mad even if you’re happier than ****, so you keep your people guessing if you’re mad at them.” I busted a gut; but he was serious. Well, there are some people that the nicer you are the more they’ll take advantage; learned this the hard way managing people. My nephew’s wife did just this. He bent over backwards for her, did a lot of the cooking (he liked cooking as a hobby anyway), house chores, watching their two little kids while working a FT job, as she kept disappearing more frequently after he got home and on weekends. He cut her a lot of slack as she said she needed kick-back time. Came the day she wanted a divorce. She got into loving the party life and met some slug she fucked around with. He took out another loan to pay her *** out to keep the new home so the kids would have some semblance of normality. He was always the laid back fun-loving guy…but he has an edge to him he didn’t have before.
That's one of many attributes you have, now take that as a compliment!!For the last 16 years he's said "You're much too honest to be a business owner."
I take it as a compliment.

Wow! I'm on my 2nd marriage, with a fiancé in between. This doesn't include girlfriends. I'm 55 years old. I've been married for close to 28 years now. Before we married, we discussed what was most important to us. We both agreed that fidelity was paramount. Whatever else has emerged in our lives we have been able to work through. There have been opportunities for infidelity, but the trust has never been compromised. My personal experience is that to have an incredible marriage (or how ever you wish to define "relationship"), you have to talk things through. Agree on "rules of engagement", and then follow them. There are aspects of our relationship that would not be acceptable in other relationships. Conversely, there are aspects of our relationship that we deem unacceptable, wheres other couples would gladly and freely accept. Looking over the posts in this thread, my opinion is that it really boils down to finding a like-minded partner and committing! Then follow up and follow through with your part.
I've been happily married since September of 1994. Dudes, I'm nowhere near perfect (well, neither is my wife). I just insist on giving my incredible wife that which she requires and deserves. Oh, and given numerous opportunities, I've never compromised our marriage agreement (never cheated on her).

I recall some people saying “eating ain’t cheating” .....
Whuuut?
By that logic, these guys wouldn’t mind some other dude munching on their wife’s tender bits?
I think not!

So just last week, because I expect she will outlive me, I said if she remarries, I want her to sell all my stuff. She asked why, and I said I don’t want some a-hole using my stuff. She said what makes me think she would marry another a-hole?

We’ve been together for 32+ years now. She’s much more the calm type than I for sure. If you asked her to describe my character I bet the first words out would be “cranky old man!”
She might be right!
