Those of you with wives/long term relationships. Can you explain in words, why you love your other half? Truely, all the ball and chain jokes aside, if you had to sit down and write down the reasons, what would you write?

Hoagie_one · « **Reply #1 on:** January 20, 2005, 08:48:57 am »

History \ Memories (Been together for 12 years)
That Body
Her caretaker qualities
Mutual admiration
The mother of my child
That Smile

etc etc

ummm.... I threw mine out, divorced her, and took custody of my 2 boys. So I can't exactly answer this one....lol

Did you get in trouble with your woman?

Tritoch84 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 20, 2005, 10:00:33 am »

Well, it's an odd thing.

Before I met my wife, there was no way I was getting married. I was into my music/band pretty big, but I knew I didn't want it to be my life.

Then I met her, and she hit me like a ton of bricks, and from that first day, I just knew I wanted to grow old with her. I just knew that we were going to end up together for the rest of our life, and if not, then I was never getting married.

I never knew "why" I knew this or felt this. No one probably does. They can say "it was her looks" or "the way she acted" but it's more then that.

It's hard to define "love" man, if they could, it wouldn't be as awesome as it is.

And as stated above....

WHY? You in trouble with your lady?

well kinda hard to explain for me. One thing she does not do or never did was play video games but she likes to play and she SUCKS and I love it

ChadTower · « **Reply #6 on:** January 20, 2005, 11:16:15 am »

Simple. I can't think of a day I spent with her that I would have rather spent doing something else with someone else. That's since about 1993.

ChadTower's explanation is pretty much the same for me.

Except it has been since 1992! Although we did go to the same school for Kindergarten, we did not meet for another 22 years.

I've been with my girlfriend for 14 years because she is everything that is good in my life and she makes everything the feels bad about it, seem that much better.

ChadTower, Good on Ya! That's an awesome sentiment. You sure you're not a bleeding-heart Liberal??

*That's 1991! Got ya' beat ErikRuud!

Hah, pretty sure I'm not. Now, don't let my conservatism on some points fool you, I'm pretty liberal on others, but that's another conversation for another thread.

Sentiments like that aren't hard to express if you really stop and think about them before starting your statement.

Or, you can go the way Melvin Udall (from As Good As It Gets) describes his ability to write women so well: "I think of a man, then I take away reason and accountability."

I get off easy on Vanalntine's day. Feb 14th is also my wife's Birthday. Two for the price of one.

LOL, I say this to my GF all the time. To which she replies with a fist to my stomach.

stevejt · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2005, 03:40:00 pm »

Was I in trouble with her? I didn't do anything wrong. She came home from the hospital after having our first son a different person then she was when she went in. I tried to deal with it for a few years, that explains our 2nd son. She suffers all the stereotypical symptoms of Bipolar disorder. It is said to be triggered by an emotional experience, and child brth is usually given as one of the examples. I don't think this is the place for personal stories like this, but she was....ummmm.... nuts, sorry I can't find a better word. Lets just say I got sick of having to call the police on my own wife...

I hope no one thinks I have any negative thoughts about women in general. I am still looking for the right woman. I am just about 10,000x more "cautious" then the rest of you. I hope I didn't get too personal in the first paragraph, after going through this for th last 10 years, it's all so common place to me.

Mostly my wife is smoking hot. She's so easy on the eyes that it's impossible not to love her.

Oh yeah...she's also bright and funny and clever and trusting and loyal and supportive and has impecible taste. Her only real fault, frankly, is that she gets cold sores periodically, and so I can't kiss her, unless I hope to get cold sores as well one day. And going any significant length of time without kissing this woman is a cruel and tortuous situation for one to find himself in. In fact, I feel sorry for the rest of you.

ChadTower · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2005, 03:55:18 pm »

So you're saying your wife is smoking hot, smart, funny, has good taste...

...but her herpes is out of control?

I'm sorry but that was funny.

I can't really talk though because my wife just got over one also. I still love her though.

If he was a bleeding-heart liberal, he wouldn't have married her, he'd just still refer to her as his girlfriend!

BOOYA!

I can't REMEMBER the last time I was set up so perfectly before! Thanks, MrC!

Oh, and the booya is to annoy the member here who hates it when people say it.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2005, 05:04:01 am »

Now.....on with the show.

I love her because she's everything I'm not, that I need to be. (sets up MrC to get back at him)

She's my filter for the world, while accepting me for everything that I am, and even more so for what I'm not. It's hard to find someone who accepts you for the ass you are, and loves you enough to forget the ass you were....once I found such a person, I had to make her mine.

Now she's stuck

_{p.s. Chains and shackles help.}

Sephroth57 · « **Reply #23 on:** January 21, 2005, 08:47:39 am »

hehe drew, reminds me of me. Im pretty much a jaded/---uvula--- type of person for the most part, and she always yells at me for it. Im trying to be nicer in general but its hard when youve been like this so long...

for you curious people yeah we were having some problems but I think everything will be ok. she just needed some time to chill out, it was just stupid sh1t and weve been going out for 3 1/2 years so i wasnt really worried, just.. bothered

Hehe... Actually I'm a Liberal because the sex is better. Not married, probably for the same reason!

I tried Liberal sex, hated it. Ted Kennedy wouldn't get his fat freakin head out of the way.

I love Teddy to death, but he certainly is a pumpkinhead.

ChadTower · « **Reply #29 on:** January 21, 2005, 12:56:41 pm »

If you lived in MA, like I do, you would not love Ted Kennedy so much. Nor John Kerry. Neither one of them does a damn thing for the people of their state.

Teehee...I do live in MA and it's F'ked up on some many more levels than anything Kerry, Kennedy could ever fix. Plus, it's just not liberal enough for me...I've been thinking of moving to Vermont, home of the Fightin' HoDean!!

Gunstar Hero · « **Reply #31 on:** January 21, 2005, 01:44:58 pm »

That's a hard one to explain... because on one hand, that woman MUST die sometimes... but on the other, she puts up with me when she feels I must die... and that's probably often.

I suppose it would be because she would stand by me even with nothing to gain for herself.
