"Marriage"
I decided to do a different blog purely about marriage and marriage related stuff. For our tenth anniversary we are having a big renewal vows ceremony in 2009, as we got married in 1999 at the courthouse with little fanfare. So all pics and posts leading up to and related to that event will on [...]
My husband makes me feel safe. He is not jealous of my relationships with other people. He trusts me completely. He is proud of me. He holds me in the night. He makes me tea when I am cold and sometimes just because. He talks to me. He compliments me. With him I am never [...]
Practically speaking, if you and your beloved live together first, that can be a good indication of what it will be like when you are married. You learn as much about yourself as you do about the other person when you live with them. Being with each other every day will teach you both what [...]
Marriage is what you make of it. You don’t have to have a traditional marriage. I know married people who are polyamorous. I know married people who live separately. I know married people who don’t have kids and don’t ever want any. These are happily married people, too. They are just as happy as we [...]
1. You know when their physical characteristics become irrelevant – you can look at your partner and truly feel that it wouldn’t matter to you if they lost a limb or got badly burned or scarred or whatever. 2. You know when you want to raise children with them. If you don’t want kids, you’ll [...]
While my relationship with my children is very very very important to me, I think it is important and necessary that I am able to love and devote myself to someone other than them. Otherwise I will be a wreck when they are grown and have a life independent of me. I know women like [...]
The only 2 people who really know what’s going on in a marriage are the 2 people in it. Know and understand what this means. Not only does it mean that other folks can’t tell you what to do with your marriage, it also means that you shouldn’t even tell other folks about the inner [...]
Remember my post last week about forgiving Mercury Man? I am almost 100% over being upset with him. I am not sure I will ever be completely over it, it’s one of those things where I can forgive but not forget. and I have a long, long memory. Anyway in my last post I put [...]
I have been having a difficult time with Mercury Man this week…I won’t go into details but what he did was really bad and he messed up Big Time. Just being an all around a-hole caveman pig. There must be something going around because a lot of my friend’s husbands/boyfriends are acting the fool too. [...]
Valentine’s Day is coming up and it is the day we count as our ‘real’ anniversay because it was our first date. There have been years we forgot our actual marriage anniversary! but never Valentine’s Day. So anyway I have been thinking about our relationship and our ups and downs and the things we have [...]
My husband graduated this past Sunday with a Master’s degree in Special Education! He actually finished his program back in August and got a pay raise at his teaching position, but I urged him to attend the graduation ceremony because he didn’t do it for his bachelor’s. It was such a big deal to me [...]
This question is for anyone with a SO but in particular for women who are legally partnered with a man. Do you ask your husband for jewelry as a gift? I was talking with another mom I slightly know earlier this morning at one of the kids’ school and she asked me what Brian was [...]
I don’t know if it would be right to mention by name people I know who are going through breakups and custody battles so I won’t. Some have publicly posted about their struggles on their own blogs and others, some I know about solely through email. It makes me think of my own struggles with [...]
Ok so there was this site with a 50s poster with all this crazy primitive stuff like don’t question your man on it. But in all seriousness, in your opinion what constitutes a good wife? I do not mean to exclude anyone who is not married, those of you who are single/not married I am [...]
My husband is an avid biker, down to the real biking bike and the shorts and special shoes and all. I’ve been thinking about taking up jogging again and he suggested taking up distance biking with him instead. He said it wouldn’t hurt my knees and would tone my legs. I was hesitant. I’ve tried [...]
It’s ten minutes to the game (don’t ask me what game ‘cause I don’t know) and my Brian just raced off to the store to get me some sugar. I have been sick since Sunday and only been able to keep down tea. I was going to eat a little dinner because I am so [...]
There. I said it. I have publicly declared my husband a slob. It gets on my nerves. For many years our bedroom looked like a high school boy’s bedroom. Slowly over time he got rid of or boxed his teenage stuff. When we moved where we live now, our bedroom has a big walk-in closet [...]
I’ve ranted before about my mother-in-law. Well this blog is in appreciation of her. She loves her son very much and has bent over backwards to be nice to me even after we had nasty fights. She loves my kids unconditionally and has always treated my 2 older children just like my youngest, who is [...]
Today is me and Brian’s tenth anniversary. Our very first date was Valentine’s day 1996. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. What a journey it’s been. I love him so much! Happy Anniversary Sweetie! Everyone have a great Valentine’s day! See more progress on: work on my marriage
I often feel impatient when listening to Brian talk. I tend to interrupt him. We both have a bad habit of interrupting each other and of finishing each other’s sentences. Yesterday we had a nice time talking, I made a conscious effort not to interrput him. I learned a very powerful lesson: I am not [...]
I need to smile at my husband more. Just smile at him and ask him how he is doing more often. I take him for granted so much. And I need to touch him more often, not be afraid to just touch him and hug him. I am not as affectinate with Brian as I [...]
I love the song ‘White Flag’ by Dido, it reminds me of how I feel about Brian and this marriage of ours. I won’t ever give up on our love. I will always love him so. That said, the man gets on my nerves sometimes. He opened up to me about some issues he’s having [...]
I have heard and read that the best way to improve your marriage is to try each day to make life easier and better for your spouse. I am going to try implementing this. See more progress on: Improve my marriage
My husband likes to keep stuff stirred up between me and my mother-in-law. It was suggested to me that he’s just being thoughtless. I can understand his being a little thoughtless for a year or so, but we’ve been together since 1996. 9 frigging years!! He should have caught on by now, eh? He has [...]
We have one car. Which is fine because I am home during the day and if I need to go into town (Cleveland proper) I can call my brother or one of my cousins or friends to come get me. Or I can get up early and catch the bus, we are on the major [...]

Brian and I have decided to have another little one. A new person. A child. A baby. Who will it be? I sense this new person hovering around my edges, all ready to be born. This is my youngest’s second full year of school all day. Last year he was in all-day kindergarten, which was [...]
One of the things that Brian does that grates on my nerves is he likes to wake me up in the morning when he’s feeling amorous. This really, really bothers me. I have chronic insomnia. I do not sleep well. Once asleep, it’s touch and go if I stay asleep for more than 4 hours [...]
Man, Valentine’s Day was great!!! We had so much fun, it was crazy. I’ll not discuss what we did, it’s personal, dont’cha know, but suffice it to say that this was the best Valentine’s Day we have had in YEARS. I think the only V-day that was better than this was our very first one, [...]
I’ll be 32 next month. I met Brian when I was 22. Going on 10 years of knowing this man, 8 years of being together, next May marks our 5th year wedding anniversary, and I’m just now realizing how little (and how much!) I know about him. We got into a nasty fight a few [...]
