05/16 The Divorce Experiment
Quote From: cparkeri agree with you. i was told that the women change when the "i do" comes out. i have been with my spouse for 12 yrs and i am still with him and love him more than anything in the world, but i truly believe that when they say "i do" it becomes something of what they expect or desire. i think it is the whole son leaving the mothers nest or something. They need to be taken care of. I am sorry to hear that yours didn't last any longer than 5 years but I am very set in my ways that I will get what I want out of this marriage and it will soon be my turn in this. I have to in a happy sense in this that I am getting what i want and need finally and it has taken a long time to get there. So if anyone else is reading all of this that might agree that the men are sweet talkers in the beginning and then the demanders in the end well they are and it sometimes does get better. Hang in there! Or do even better and get the upper hand in the beginning before the "i do" comes about. Good Luck! Good for you for doing what it takes to make it work! My first marriage did only last 5 years, but what I expected out of marriage, and what he did were so different that there was no changing him, or me for that matter. This was a long time ago for me, and I am now married to a wonderful man, we have 2 children and I have been married to him for almost 20 years! So marriage can be great! Sure we have had our share of ups and downs but it has been worth it! So yes you are right, it does get better!
