You're probably right.

I have an idea.   Next election I'll vote for the party that I most disagree with.
Then when they do the complete opposite to what they promise as usual, I should get the results I wanted.

It seems to be some kind of craze on there at the moment, picking the stupidest story going and emailling it to everyone in order to keep it at the top of the list. A couple of weeks ago it was the one about the guy who had to marry a goat after being caught 'in the act' by its owner.

The goats are less picky. Sheep now have ideas above their station and a lot of them expect dinner and cuddling. Goats are the new sheep. Slappers every one.

Your probably better off with sheep Snoopy, after all, they won't drink your beer, smoke your weed, snort your coke and then tell you that they have to be home early. They also never quiz you about former lovers and then get pissed off when you tell em. Yes, no bloody nagging either.  confused: I don't know why you lot put up with us women really, all said and done.

I didn't .....  I divorced one just like that. ~ Then spent considerable time an effort finding one who doesn't ask questions, has no interest in my past and above all does not nag (mainly because she knows it will do her no good ~ I got rid of one, getting rid of another would be even easier and she is aware of that)

Smited for walking all over that poor woman like that!






Only kidding Snoops, if she's going to act like a doormat you might aswell treat her like one.  Honestly, not nagging and prying! It's women like that which get the rest of us a bad name!

How about considering that this might be a two way street. We have both been married before, we both divorced because we realised that we had chosen the wrong partner. We have rectified that situation. We both know how easy it is to walk away from a marriage and we are both well aware that each deserves the respect of the other. So we have a happy relationship in which we both have space, respect for one another's wishes and acceptance that those wishes will at time be different. We are mature enough to be able to cope with those differences by agreeing to differ with no acrimony. Doormats do not come into it. Living together in harmony does.

Ah OK sorry for that redface:

Please don't take this as being funny but are you more like friends sharing a house than a traditional "couple" then? I only ask as I've often thought that maybe that's the best way to be.

The whole "love" thing is just so overated IMO.  A man only says he loves a woman when he's lusting after her and then "love" becomes nothing more than routine, so why pretend it's anything else?

We have three children age 14, 8 and 6. Passion is no longer an issue. We are the best of friends and take the p*ss out of one another without mercy. We love our children and in the same way we love one another. Better than that we understand one another ~ until she applies female logic or tries to read a map ~ then we agree to differ. whistle:
