I was thinking about getting married...

[Wetzelbill]

first I need to get a date though I guess. Well, first I would actually have to want to get one. Then she would have to never want to do anything during Friday Night Smackdown. Or on Saturday so I could get up early and watch politics. Then she would have to let me read and write all the time.

And put up with my childishness. My ego too.

Ok, this went downhill fast.

Maybe I will just stay a bachelor.

[Heidi]

1. There's hope for you.

Find a partner who has a life of her own, and you won't have to worry about giving up Friday Night Smackdown, Saturday morning political shows, or reading and writing all the time. Hey, it worked for Call Me Wesley. :D

[Wetzelbill]

2. oh if only I could luck out like that

He married wayyyyyyyyy up, you know? :)

[billyskank]

3. So he can play computer games during those long winter nights!

:rofl:

[Heidi]

4. Actually: exactly.

He's a night person and I'm a morning person, anyway. :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

5. Perhaps you'll be lucky and find a woman who loves the same things you do

:thumbsup:

[LeftyMom]

6. The right lady for you won't mind those things.

:hi:

[Heidi]

7. . . . because she'll have a life of her own and won't begrudge Bill

the right to have his own interests, as well. :hi:

[LeftyMom]

8. Exactly

It's bad for a couple to be like conjoined twins. Time apart with thier own freinds and thier own interests keeps people from annoying eachother over little things.

[Heidi]

9. Two words for you, LeftyMom.

:yourock:

[LeftyMom]

10. Awww

Lets just say I learned that one the hard way.

[Heidi]

12. Same here.

But I wouldn't have had it any other way. You and I now fully appreciate a quality partner. :hug:

[LeftyMom]

13. yay for moving up in the world!

:woohoo:

[rug]

11. You come on too strong, Bill.

[mduffy31]

14. Wow you just did a whole little thing by yourself right there

You went from the start to the end in only 4 lines. Well done

[johnnie]

15. I think about it once in a while also

Then a few seconds later I chuckle and forget about the marriage thingie.

[bicentennial_baby]

16. That's why Sniffa and I are so good together...

We watch wrestling, cook, eat, watch football...and then we get drunk while reading and discussing poiltics and history :D

interspersed with some Food Network and cheezy horror movies and CourtTv :P

:hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

17. Ummmmm....

Being a bachelor isn't so bad. :) If I had it to do all over again, I would not have gotten married. To ANYONE. I mean, I love my husband, but sometimes I just can't stand being married. There are a lot of happily married people out there, and I'm very happy for them. :D However, there are some pretty crappy marriages too, and I don't wish that on anyone. My marriage falls on the better end of crappy, but it's still kind of crappy. :(

Probably TMI, but there you go. :P

[Dem2theMax]

18. I just had to say

I loved your post. I'm single. Engaged twice, but both times wised up before it was too late.
I SO understand how you feel.

Maybe TMI, but it made me smile. And laugh. :)

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. Thanks. :)

I waited a LONG time to get married after I started dating him (9 years between meeting and marriage), and I still wasn't 100% sure at that point. It's been 14 years since tying the knot. We've had a lot of problems, and he has yet to grow up. As I said before, I love him, but I've come close to leaving four times in the past couple of years, and if there is a fifth time, I WILL leave for good.

Consider yourself lucky. :D You made the right decisions!

21. ...

31. Billy!

[SOteric]

20. Why bother? Just find a woman you hate and buy her a house.

Well. According to Dave Barry, anyway. :shrug:

[idgiehkt]

22. rofl

:rofl:

love that Dave Barry...

[Road Scholar]

23. Hey, I have an idea. Find some bitchy woman that you really despise,

and buy her a new house and car.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[turtlelowe]

24. Don't give up, she's out there somewhere.

Need proof? I am married to PetersonD, and I think you know most of what comes with that since you are somewhat familiar with him. Just read the thread about people who think its funny to scare others. Don't even get me started on the baseball and football that constantly airs at our house. Oh, and no one will ever forget the Superman obsession. But it goes further, I finally had to put my foot down and say, "No! Castle Grayskull will not be placed on my mantle!" Whew, I feel better now;)

Despite all of the habits, obsessions, and behaviors, that's not what I focus on when I look at him. I focus on the times he has been there when no one else was. I focus on the sweet things he does when he thinks I am not looking. I focus on the way he is willing to clean up my puke when I am sick (now that's love). When you find her, she will know the things you do, but love you for who you are. Collective sigh, now I must try to hide the Royals bobblehead he just put on my mantle.

[Broken_Hero]

28. Now now...

Don't be spreading facts around!!!! I can't have that...:) Besides, Castle Greyskull adds a sense of, sophistication to the living room...

















:hide:

[L A Woman]

25. the whole thing sucks, Bill

i don't know how old you are, but it seems once you reach a certain age, it's really hard to meet new people in general and it's even harder to find a partner because everyone has so much baggage and most of us are very set in our ways!

the whole thing sucks!

[MissMillie]

26. Well, *I'd* let you watch smackdown

but do I have to watch it too?

[wildhorses]

27. one of these days you will meet someone and things will

just kinda mesh together...sorta like peas and carrots. The differences will complement each other and you will appreciate her for it. At least that is what I hope for you. Then again myabe you will stay bachelor :shrug:

[billyskank]

34. "...sorta like peas and carrots"

I love you! :rofl: :loveya:

[wildhorses]

36. .......

I love you too, billy:*



now then tell me about your sigline whaddup wid dat??? :shrug:

[badgerpup]

29. OOOO-KAAAY....

If you can take the sadness from my eyes
Convince me that not all men are evil-
I will treat you like a KING.
Must love cats.


How's THAT for an offer?
:silly:

[Fox Mulder]

30. Everybody knows that Monday Night Raw is better than Smackdown.

Sheesh.

:D

[Catshrink]

32. Gee you don't sound that bad...

That's about what I do... read, grade papers, watch politics, listen to my Bears streaming on WBBM, walk my weiner dog.

But I'm too old for you.

[lukasahero]

35. You should stay a bachelor

Maybe when your post becomes a little about (the someday) her and less about you, will you be ready to even consider marriage. Sorry Bill, but the whole idea behind marriage? It's not. all. about. you.

[Blue-Jay]

37. Wait until you love someone else more than you love yourself.

That's a tall order, though.

[July]

38. Marrriage is overrated, yet it can be delightful.

Usually, it's a combination of delightful and not so much. You could be happy both with and without it. Good luck.

[Dangerously Amused]

39. Hey Bill, marry me!

I'm short and I have a life.


Caveat: I'm already betrothed to a couple of other DU guys. We haven't quite worked out all the logistics of that yet. Depending on where the marriage laws go, we may all have to convert to Mormonism, or secede from the country entirely and form our own polygymous democracy. But if you can put up with that I'm pretty sure we can work something out.


:hi:
