If I had to make $X for my wife to be with me, or if I had to make more money than her, we'd have divorced ages ago.

She has made more money than me since her second year out of college, I believe. In some years, her salary has been triple mine.

I mean if you're read is she was intentionally phrasing it in the most aspergery way possible because it's systo then OK

but posing it as an ultimatum definitely wouldn't work for me. ymmv

Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.

damn i'm starting to support england again.

has the pub become relationship help source #1?

I feel like everytime I take a look at the last page, y'all are talking about relationships

Not that there is anything wrong with it. I imagine guys sitting at a bar, smoking and drinking beer and talking "my wife has so many problems and I have to fix them all!" "I totally understand you, mine is just the same" "And my girlfriend has so awful eccentric tastes wrt mattresses!" "That's terrible, here take another beer"

Love or patriotism?

pub hasnt had a toast in a longass time

haha wow, i can def see 1 happening. feeling like you're missing out on something when you have already committed to a lifetime without it seems like it would be the worst, which is one of the main reasons why i decided at a young age that i'm not jumping into marriage.

the read is going to be 100% correct for you but maybe not systo, because you seem to have the personality type that has an easier time maintaining a relationship. no offense to systo but people with big egos tend to have a much more difficult time sustaining relationships, and systo has a rather ginormous one.

you are extremely humble and down to earth, so you're going to naturally develop very strong + deep bonds with people. i'd imagine that a woman you're dating (i know you're married, getting a bit theoretical here) will be much moreso inclined to unconditionally settle down with you, whereas systo might need to make more concessions to counterbalance his ego.

Alice and chyme

You must be a girl.

Okay, I would say that you are extrapolating unjustifiably, but you are correct in that I haven't thoroughly described the dynamics of our relationship. I didn't think anyone would care to read it, so I didn't post that.

Erin and I are absolutely perfect for each other, and its in a way that I will never be able to acutely describe.

We have been intimate in various ways, but we haven't actually had sex, so that element of your idea doesn't pertain.

If I had to describe the 'pitfalls' of our relationship from my perspective, it would be that Erin really overloads herself in work sometimes. She's a bit of a workaholic, and I think in some ways she wants everyone (including me) to work as much/as hard as she does.

From her perspective, she has told me what her pitfalls with regards to me are.

1) She doesn't like that I play poker (lolobv), and she thinks that its a sign that I am irresponsible with money.
2) She questions my work ethic since she hasn't seen me with a job since she met me.
3) She knows that I have a lot of student loan debt, and she feels like this will be a burden in the future if it isn't managed soon.

As I said before, Erin has 2 jobs and is a full time student. She takes out student loans to pay her tuition every semester and then uses her money she makes to pay the loan off over the duration of the semester. She's very fastidious and extremely organized.

As far as things about our relationship that are miles ahead:

1) We communicate about everything. She tells me if she is upset about something, she tells me the things that she is happy about, and vice versa.

2) We are both completely honest with each other about everything, good or bad.

3) We both want to be with each other whenever we can. Despite her crazy schedule, she makes it a point to be spend some time with me every single day, even if she just comes to my apartment for 10 minutes on her way home from work.

4) We are both forward thinking and share similar family values and ambitions.

5) Our respective families love the other person. Erin's dad has already given me the approval to ask her to marry me, and her sister thinks I am the best thing that has ever happened to her. My family already thinks of Erin as a daughter.

Those are just the first few that came up off the top of my head.

Not poggers imo. #DeadToMe.

I probably couldn't be with someone that couldn't get that poker isn't just lolgamblegamble
