To: ChrisJP who wrote (9708 ) 3/18/2001 9:46:58 PM From: bbgold Respond to Hey Chris, I love it when people ask how long my girlfriend and I have been married. Or "When are you two going to get married?" Or "Your wife seems lovely, you must love her very much". I must say that I really enjoy the reaction when I say "Oh, we are not married, we are just boyfriend and girlfriend" Or "I am not Tess's husband, I am just her boy toy" Or "I love her very much, but she is not my wife. What is your number again?" It Really gets a shock reaction. To say the truth my girlfriend and I have been together 6 years and have no plans of getting married. In the biblical sense it may not be right but we are happy and do not want to mess it up by saying that we own each other. As far as I know neither one of us has cheated on the other and for now we are happy. I do not think that it matters how many years you have been happy together as long as the last year is one of the Happy ones. Or if not then next year you both will try and make it one of the happy ones and perhaps carry it on from year to year. I think that is what makes a relationship. If you both can put up with each other from year to year and say "That was a Great Year, let's do it again" Or "I know that we can have a better year than last, let's give it a try OK?" Be happy with each other for good or bad, as they say <gg>. I should have known that my previous post would bring some gloom into my life, Too good to be true. My girlfriend got into a fight, or actually she Wanted to fight, because I let her daughter borrow my car even though she told me that she did not want me to let her daughter use it. A long bitter battle between Tess and her daughter because she married someone that Tess did not approve of and now I was in the middle of the hatred. "She is married now so let her husband take care of her" "I told you not to let her use your car and now you say that you did" "You never listen to me whatever I say" "That's it, we are over, I am moving out and you can do whatever you want" "I hate you". She is mostly just mad at her daughter because she did not listen to her and got married in spite of the fact that Tess did not approve. Now, when I try to help her daughter by loaning her my car I am actually helping her husband, who Tess hates, and so she wants to hate me also. By the end of the day with a few "I am sorry, I was only trying to help Maria"s and "I love you, why would I do something to hurt you"s she calmed down and lightened up a little. I am glad that she only took it out on the luggage and the toothpaste in the bathroom rather than me. The luggage survived but the toothpaste looked like it could have been an extra in a Friday the 13th movie. I think that she is over it but just in case I put all of the knives on a different drawer in the kitchen <gg>. I don't know about you Chris but it seems as though women are never happy unless they are making you suffer LOL! I hope that when your wife says the next time "5 Happy Years!!" she will be talking about the last five years. Or perhaps she will say "5 Happy Years and more to come!" Take Care Chris! And I wish you and your wife 5 Happy years, one 5 years after another, from now until forever! Sincerely, bbgold :^)
