The BEST part about not having a WIFE anymore?

I guess having children and striving to ensure a solid foundation for them and sharing all that life has to offer with someone you love just isn't worth it.

Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of risk associated with being married. I'll be celebrating my third year as a husband in about a month, so far I'm pleased with my selection for a wife. Frankly, I found dating and maintaining my relationships more time consuming, emotionally straining, and expensive than being married. I dated my wife for years before I decided to get married and the deal was she had to take me as I came. Annual trips to Vegas with the boys, a few nights out drinking with the boys per month, football Sundays in the fall, poker night a few times a quater, etc. As a result I have less time for myself since I also make sure she's happy, including a standing Friday night date each week. Ask me this question in about 4 years when I hit my 7 year mark and I could be singing a different tune.

BTW, to the person that commented on the "free sex," in my world it would be cheaper to go to a hooker than to be married or even dating for that matter! Let's not forget about the variety associated with that option as well. Sex is generally the one area where marriage loses to being single (assuming that you get "some" as a single person). My wife is solid on that front but the bottom line is that there is NOTHING like chasing and getting new a$$ periodically.

swami- Nice to see your opinion on this, and i hope your good fortune continues...I have noticed your name in the log before but I haven`t seen you post much...With posts like that I`m sure we`d all like to hear more!

Ideally your situation is great but in the U.S. these days (modern women) thats not exactly normal...

Thanks for sharing!

Now, now, there's nothing wrong with $500 Italian leather 6-7 inch heels.

Back to the question at hand....no more important conversations that always seem to surface around the 2 minute warning.

WOW, some of you have never experienced real love. I truly do love my wife. And there is absolutely no doubt in my mind she loves me. We've been together for almost 13 years. About a month after I met her I lost my job. For about two months, she basically paid the bills. Don't know what I would have done without her. One time I went to go visit a friend, about a 3 hr. drive. Coming back home my car broke down. The short of is she drove down to get me, during rush hour, about 5 hours of driving. I didn't have to plead with her to make the drive, she wanted to do it. She is one devoted girl. I think in the 13 years I've known her, we've argued about 5 times.

There is/was one annoying thing I had to get used to when we moved in together: Put the toilet seat down.

Interesting story somewhat related....When I was a junior in undergrad about 3 of my buddies and I decided to take a trip to Atlantic City on a Friday night. That weekend my then girlfriend now wife was seeing her her folks in Philly and planned on seeing me on Sunday.

My friend's car broke down on the way to AC about 5 miles from the boardwalk. His sister lived in the area (Margate, I think) and we proceeded to have his car towed to her house. She drove us to the casinos and the plan was to take a bus back to school (central NJ). Well I knew we were pretty screwed so after Donald Trump busted us all (saved a few bucks each to catch the bus) while playing Blackjack, I called my wife (probably 2am) and asked her to pick us up in AC then drive to central NJ to my off campus apartment. She said yes but not until the morning. We all hit the ATMs and continued to gamble.

My wife then proceeded to borrow her mother's car to drive from Philly to AC to pick up me and my degenerate friends at about 7am and then drove to New Brunswick.

Nevertheless, I knew she was a winner when she saw that I was in need and despite her personal dislike for gambling still went out of her way to help me out. Truthfully, too young and immature to realize that she was a winner but she was well on her way to becoming Mrs. Swami.

I love my in-laws great people. My father in law was recently diagnosed with Cancer.

Here is a humerous story to share with anyone who wants to read it. My Father in-law is 58 grew up on a farm, hardest worker I have ever seen.

----------------------------------------

This week he is having his chemo. It consists of heavy to moderate injections.

On Monday he came into the hospital to start his 5th of 6 rounds of Chemo. Monday was slated by the Doctors as a small Dose Day,
meaning arrive at 8:00 am and stay til about 10:30 am. All went well. Seeing that our house is only a couple miles away he decides to help uswith some landscaping. He brought his 18 hp tractor and a trailer that can haul up to 6 yards of mulch. I come home at 6:00 pm and he has all themulch spread and neatly edged the areas where it resides. Still needs
another 4 yards to finish the job

He works till about 9:00 pm and heads home ( He has about a 50 minute drive
home).

Knock Knock 8:00 am Tuesday morning. He is at the door. The doctors slated a big dose of chemo, 8:30 am to 1:00 pm and 4:00 to 5:30 for somesmall injections. All goes well with the early session. He jumps into the van and heads back toour house. Right away grabs a shovel and starts planting flowers and raking
the thatch from our lawn. 3:00 rolls around and he wants to purchase another 4 yards of mulch before his 4:00 appointment. He gets to the landscape company and asks for more mulch. A young kid behind the counter is on the phone. slowly walks to the back to fill his order. My father in-law grows impatient. Here is the part that had me and my wife cracking up, he tells the kid to "hurry up" so he can make it back in time for some more chemo. He was serious. The kid gave my father in-law a really strange look and pickedup the pace.

Thanks for the kind words Journeyman. You're right about women here in the states. All my previous girlfriends required more time than I was willing to give or tried to change something about me. They all failed to understand that as an only child I was used to being alone, was quite comfortable with it, and had no problem cancelling (dumping) their asses until someone new came along or I found someone. Good ole Rosey Palmer was always available until the new girl/woman came around and even then she still got some play.

I've lurked here for a while but I'm up to a whopping 70 posts. I post infrequently but when I do, I usually try to make it a quality contribution. At times the folks in the forums can be very immature and contribute little to the overall quality of the information/experience here so it can get frustrating. I don't know which group is worse the shillers, or the guys who berate each other. The funny thing is that one of my first posts was a note to the fraudfather before he went tout. Had I known that he had ulterior motives I wouldn't have said a thing. I'm glad that I never followed his picks word for word or responded to his email where he advertised his services. What a newbie I was!!!!

I'm honing my capping skills after a decade or so of dropping a few hundred per year to a few thousand for "entertainment purposes." Still haven't decided if the effort I would spend capping games the way I would like to (VERY analytically) is worth it. Frankly, the few hundred I win/lose in a good year or few thousand I win in the very good years is fine given the amount of time (very little) I spending capping (using my general knowledge of sports/players). It's the bad years that are more annoying but probably not worth spending 10 hours a week capping sports games to save a few grand in the worst years. (not even sure I have 10 hours to devote to it.) We'll see.

You'll find that I contribute more in the Offshore Forum and will contribute more in the Poker Forum since it's a game I've played in some form since high school and recently started playing Texas Hold 'Em. It's my new, new thing.

You spend more time with a SHRINK......

 

[assassin]

The in-laws aren't normally the big problem, it's the freakin loser brother in-laws, sister-in laws, cousinns, aunts, uncles, and every other freeloader you can think of.

I brother in law was "pissed off" that we didn't lend him $2M, ever after I remeinded him he's owed us $5M for the last 10 years (oh, I thought I paid that!!!). Helped another brother in law with a 2 week $2M loan that he paid back, then this month he asked for $5M for 1 month, my wife finally had to tell him we weren't his bank.

This weekend we saw her aunt and uncle. Mentioned we were goijg to Hershey Park. My wife wants to invite them to "join" us.
Sure no problem.
We have to wait for them Saturday, they are visting someone and don't know when the'll get here.
Fine.
Do you think they could share our room, and their 2 teenage kids (that's a total of 8).
Gee hon, might not be that comfortable a vacation.
Your right hon, I'll get them there own rooms for 2 nights.
What? Who said anything about getting them a room.
You agreed, that's what I meant by "joining" us.
Why don't you just buy their park tickets too.
I was planning on it.
BUt Hon, I've only met these people 1x. Never got a birthday card, anniversary card, nothing ever for the kids.
They are very nice people. Don't worry, I'll use my own money.
Uh, hon, you don't work. You don't have your own money.
Oh yeah. By the way, I invted them to stay with us for a few weeks also.

Grrrrrr
