i guess Judd Apatow thinks so.

It's a miracle you are still alive and posting.

And CC,

Or possibly a 3rd? That's pretty much how it is around here, too...lots of laughing, and he's more than happy to pick something up or make a sandwich if I forgot to take something out of the freezer or just don't feel like cooking. I'm OCD about cleaning, though ... it's a character flaw that I just can't help.
Maybe laughter is the secret to it all? Cuz for one thing, it's hard to do when you're pissed.
Funny though cus for a long time I thought you were married.
But seriously, for us singles the hardest part is listening to married people. Not so much the ones in here, but the bitter ones who are miserable yet refuse to move on and end their marriage. I swear I have had more than a dozen different women comment to me about how they envy my being single and urge me never to marry. How fricken sad is that?
I'm still hoping for the best though
Never have been. I wonder why I came across as married, though? That's curious to me. (but this thread isn't about me!!)
I think that can go both ways. I have friends who envy my bachelorhood and tell me, too, that I should never consider marriage. I have other friends, though, who swear that they wouldn't want any part of my bachelorhood and that I should get married as soon as possible.But seriously, for us singles the hardest part is listening to married people.

I suppose the latter group gives me some solace that marriage is still something worth pursuing, even if it might take a while to find the right partner.
You are much too polite and considerate to not have been trained by a wife yet.
As for worth pursuing, it absolutely is. I just refuse to settle for any Tom, or Dummy off the street. Now if I could just convince my mother that this is the right course of action, all would be well with the world.
When I was married the first couple of years were great then...
Her Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
My Dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Her Mon was diagnosed with cervical cancer.
My Grandfather died of cancer.
My Grandmother died.
My Great Aunt died.
My Aunt died.
Her God Father was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
One of my best friends was diagnosed with hepa is C.
Edit: One of her best friends was diagnosed with and died of leukemia.
She wanted to join the peace corps.
I let her and wished her the best.
My dog died(not of old age either, was some kind of anemia).
Divorce went through.
Everyone stopped dying, getting cancer and other fatal illnesses.
All that death and cancer stuff happened within a span of a about a year and a half...it was an absolutely miserable period for me and her. I don't really know what was going through her mind at the end but since our lives basically revolved around funerals, hospitals, and chemotherapy, and little else, to those we loved, I really couldn't fault her for wanting to get away from all of that. Including me. How much of it was me and our marraige, and how much of it was that run of extreme bad luck seemingly to everyone we were close to, but us, I'll never really know....I just know I think long and hard about the idea of getting married again. The fact that I am a smoker and my aunt died of lung cancer probably didn't help much...
The bright spot of all this is that none of our parents that were diagnosed with cancer died from it....
Hope that bit of info does you more good than it did me

Dang, Whottt! But I could see how that could take it's toll on your marriage.

Yep. There have been many times I'm pissed and he gets me over it by making me laugh or making fun of our heated argument so we both end up laughing hysterically.
Wow Whott, that must have been difficult.
Melmart I love your avatar. That is one of my most favorite movies.
I think that laughter is just as much a diagnostic, if you will. Sense of humor is something that varies so much from person to person that if you find someone who gets you well enough to make you laugh a good deal, that's something special in itself.
I agree. My DH had me at the first laugh which happened quickly.
Wasn't that also the hardest part of being single for you?
Based on this thread...perhaps I don't ever want to get married either!
Awwwwww 1Park, you got to try it at least once
Why is that? It sounds like most of the posts in here are pretty positive about the long term trials & tribulations of marriage. Besides, if you never marry then you still go through the same ups (promotions, family weddings, etc...) and downs (job losses, sickness, death, etc...) but you do it alone rather than with a partner.Based on this thread...perhaps I don't ever want to get married either!

I left stuff out too...I mean in some ways it was like a dark cloud just hung over.

For me the hardest part is keeping my mouth shut when I want to let loose and rip him a new one. Not everything is worth fighting over, you have to pick your battles carefully!

Dayum Whott, wgtf?
Whott--it does seem like a black cloud was over y'all. Sorry the both of you had to go through all that. I guess in the end it makes you a stronger person, right?
It does, yeah, you get over it and you can either get back to enjoying life or you can dwell on it. Being single is pretty fun...you can do what you want, you don't have near as much responsibility, and you don't have to be alone unless you chose to be...
I imagine a good marriage probably does beat being single...but being single definitely beats the heck out of a bad/unhappy marriage...at least it does to me.
