My Marriage philosophy
Over cakes this afternoon my colleagues were ribbing me about being a newly-wed. They asked if the honeymoon period was over and whether we started bickering yet.
z: No it's still awesome
them: So you're not scolding him and giving him hell?
z: No, why would i?
them: because you're married!
z: don't be silly! He's my property, why on earth would i want to abuse my own property? It's like shitting on your own lawn, keying your own car... dirtying our own house! If i want to abuse someone, i would do abuse someone inconsequential, like you guys from work.
Gerry: you mean if you're really angry with your husband, you would go out and hit someone else's husband?
z: exactly.
Rob: give her a year.....
All jokes aside, i always wonder why people would get into relationships with people that really irritated them, and then keep breaking up and then coming back for more. I also wonder about marriages where both sides bitch constantly about the other and refuse or can't look past their differences to work to a better solution. It's a marriage, this other half you've got is tied to you both emotionally, physically and financially for a long time and it's so much better to proceed through life with an ally nearby, not an enemy, right?
So yeah, I'm not one of those boasting people who say my relationship is perfect and that my knight in shining armour is perfect and that we are the most happy, shiny people on the planet (ignore Pman's pleas of his perfection- he's lying! ha ha ). GAG. But I can say that i do work my hardest to make my actions, words and deeds towards my imperfect partner more than acceptable. Because we're tied together forever, and you don't shit on your own lawn (or bomb your own country).
