Advice to Young Husbands: What to Say

[silverblk mystix]

There is no advice for marriage.

You either are in this life together, thick and thin, or you are not. No amount of coddling, loving, placating, ass-kissing, groveling or other similar indignities will change one partner's position.

You appreciate their faults, as they do yours, or you both do not.

Its simple. Extremely simple. The end is just as simple, too. Youve either grown together, or youve grown apart.

This...constant attempt to find a universal solution or problem-solving method to marriage is almost disturbing. If youre not married/never been married, you dont know what the youre talking about and if you are married, your personal situation and advice has as much bearing on me as mine does to you...that is to say none at all.

Relationships are the very definition of dynamic. Even small, stupid advice like the article above is useless. Some women (most I know, anyway) do not want complacent eunuchs cow-towing to their every emotional whim. They want a man with convictions and idiosyncrasies, faults and strengths, unique and normal.

Trying to reduce the complexity of relationships to its lowest common denominator does a disservice to yourself and those listening.

THIS.

This is why I posted the joke regarding the understanding of a woman...there is a lot of truth in it. I also agree...there is no universal advice/method to it..

it just depends on TWO people who are seriously in it for life--good or bad,sickness/health,etc....

and even then...there are no guarantees.

Just the other day,
my transves e "girlfriend" was ordering a fillet.
"She" said "she" couldnt stay,
but I couldnt keep my feelings at bay.
...
After we were done rolling in the hay,
I like to reflect on what it truly means to be gay.

Sporting my fohawk and a peace sign in photo,
arm-wrestling feminists and posers in an attempt to feel macho.
I suddenly had an inspiring thought,
"These events can certainly not go for naught!"
So I posted my exploits on a forum to brag,
expecting to be lavished with praise, instead I was called a " "!
Accusations of women with questionable gender,
hair and clothes that look from a blender.
My respite was both sudden and brief,
the out-pouring of laughter, mocking and grief!
The volume so high and my spirits so low,
I found comfort only in the arms of my boy, Carlo.
