Some women take the stand that "after marriage we will be one and I am the
one". This practically guarantees they'll have relationship troubles. Even
Oprah says the worst thing a woman can do is pick a man on the basis that
"he is good starting material, I'll change him after we're married". HAH
Lisa and I appreciates each others hobbies and we are glad we have them.
I was at a party once, shortly after my divorce. I was standing with a
small group of men, explaining how I was building a model railroad in one of
3 spare bedrooms. A short distance away was a small circle of women. They
overheard what I said and one woman said quite loudly "He'd never get away
with that in MY house." HAH, happy hunting.
Married 13+ years and still happy.
