Take it or leave it

Here is a simple test for you.

If your lady asks you to do something such as go to the store and you are dead tired; what will happen if you say "No I am beat, not right now."

Will she get pissed off and stomp around ranting and raving?

This doesn't apply to lazy types that don't participate at home or do anything other than tend a recliner at home. Guys like that dont need to be in a relationship any more than a woman that can't bear to not have every demand immediately catered to.

Nah, Mrs. AG isn't like that at all. She may be disappointed if it were something like one of family's many, many notoriously agonizing (for me) events, but she wouldn't throw a tantrum.

Actually, it scares her if I say am beat down and burnt out....some nonsense about my heart crapping out or something.

Honestly, if we ever hit the lottery, we would enjoy just spending time together tinkering around out in the yard, etc. Not to say we wouldn't enjoy researching and doing charitable projects, but we just kind of "click". She likes country music... I like metal, the heavier the better, but we coexist just fine.

We both love mastiffs ( yes, we will have more in the future; still getting over putting the big boy down a couple of years ago), but we just have fun together.

She likes scary movies, I like documentaries and history, but it all works out

There is somethin in yours and mine and prox's women thars the same... They are all not selfish and try as hard as you do. They are understanding and considerate. They meet in the middle.


This in itself takes a long time to find and I would wager 80% of relationships are and were 100% shit from the start because one of the two does not fit those priciples. One becomes a tool for the other.
Their servant rather than their partner.

Today its usually the guy getting used.

You are a lucky & fortunate couple.

You 2 sound a lot like myself and my wife.

I (the wife and I) feel blessed. We are each far from perfect, but the ability to sacrifice and empathize with each other; to give of ourselves because you know that in time the other will do the same; to be completely honest & communicate with complete transparency has been something that has evolved through the many years.

We had bumps in the road, we were separated, yet our love & friendship never waned.

It's a bit spooky, because now we are to the point that we are planning for our deaths & what we will be doing if and when.

Man, it's been a ride.

Mf'r - this is a steroid forum & to have post exchanges like these is a thing of beauty.
