She brought no baggage to our marriage, doesn’t have any traits that bother me, and actually still excites me every time I see her after decades of marriage. It sounds like I may be the only one in this electronic room that can say that.
She had zero debt, zero prior marriages, no kids, no diseases, and no old boyfriends that came back to pester her.
She doesn’t crochet, like frilly house decorations, wear too much perfume, spend a fortune on anything, pick her nose, laugh like a hyena in heat, or have any addictions.
On top of that, she is still an extremely attractive woman – even moreso than when we met. I enjoy very much watching eyes track her as we walk through a room (she’s oblivious to it)- I should also mention she’s humble and certainly not full of herself.
Yessirree, I knew a fine specimen when I saw one and wasted no time in making her mine. You all are making me realize all over again what a brilliant move that was…[/quote]
my woman, unlike yours, does actually laugh a bit like a hyena. I couldn’t be with someone who I couldn’t actually make convulsed with laughter sometimes. I might put the hyena laughter above appearance, debts, or ability to orgasm.[/quote]
Yay! Someone appreciates a woman who laughs like a hyena. Guilty as charged. Like you, my husband seems to appreciate it, thank goodness. He’s funny, too.
Svelte, you’re a lucky man. I think there are a few of us lucky couples here (including UCGal, Rustico, scaredy, flyer, etc.). We’re maybe not singing our spouse’s praises here, but we’re not the ones complaining, either…at least not seriously. Every day, I give my DH hugs and kisses for being the best husband in the universe (for me). We were both thirty when we married, but didn’t have much baggage.
Remember, those of us who are happily married (with or without baggage) aren’t the ones sitting on bar stools, telling people like Kev and Brian and Davelj how horrible marriage is. We’re not complaining about it online, either. Perhaps we stay silent because we don’t want to jinx anything, or maybe we just don’t want to rub it in the faces of those who aren’t as fortunate…but we’re out there, and I think there are quite a few of us.
