Quote From: boardgamesI AGREE WITH THE SPOUSE THAT WANTS THIER MATE TO STAY LOOKING THE WAY THEY DID WHEN THEY GOT MARRIED, TO A POINT. WE ALL AGE AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT, HOWEVER IF YOU GET MARRIED AND GET SO COMFORTABLE THAT YOU PHYSICALLY CHANGE ALOT THATS WRONG. I AM A WOMAN, MARRIED 23 YEARS, 5 KIDS, WORK SOMETIMES 60 HOURS A WEEK OUTSIDE THE HOME, HAVE USUALLY 6 TO 8 DIFFERENT SPORTS TEAMS GOING AT A TIME AND MAINTAIN OUR HOUSEHOLD WITHOUT ANY HIRED HELP. EVERYDAY, I SAID EVERY DAY I GET UP AND MAKE MYSELF LOOK THE BEST I CAN. EVERY DAY, 365 DAYS A YEAR I DO MY HAIR, MAKE UP AND CLOTHES! I MEAN WOULD YOU GO OUT AND BUY A $300,000.00 CAR TODAY AND PARK IT IN THE GARAGE ONLY TO WAKE UP 5 YEARS LATER AND 60 PAYMENTS GONE (BIG PAYMENTS) AND FIND THAT IT HAS TURNED INTO A FORD FESTIVA!!!! COME ON YOU WOULD BE MAD. THEN WHY IS IT ACCEPTABLE FOR THEM TO GET FAT BUT EXPECT THEIR MATE TO LOVE THEM ANYWAY? I WATCH WHAT I EAT TO MAINTAIN MY APPEARENCE. ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW DOES NOT DO THIS, INCLUDING MY HUSBAND. HE DID THE "BAIT AND SWITCH" THING BIG TIME! WE HAVE SEPERATED A TIME OR TWO AND HE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DRESSING NICE AND GOING TO FUN PLACES, THINGS HE WONT DO MARRIED TO ME. SO YEA I AGREE, IF YOU ARE CINDERELLA OR PRINCE CHARMING WHEN I MARRY YOU, YOU DAMN WELL BETTER BE EVERYDAY UNTIL.................WELL UNTIL.
I have been with the same man for over 12 years even though we have only been married a year (long story). Believe me when I say we don't look the same as the day we met. I was only 115lbs and he was 155, now we are 205 and 237 after two kids. You see not all of us are perfect and can't just drop the weight. I do eat right, but the weight stays. You know what, I don't care. My husband is still as attracted to me as the first time we met. He loves me in a frompy night shirt with my hair a rat's nest; and I love him with his pot belly.
And for the record, we have two kids and I'm a stay at home mother and student. I get up at 6am every morning and don't get to bed until 2am. So I know what it's like to be busy. Also I think it's tack to compare your husband to a car. If I did, I still wouldn't trade the old model in. I'm rather attached to it's quirks. When you trade the old model in for a new one, you don't always know what you're going to get.
