New York-AP- On June 30, 2005
After 5 years of heated debate, the Commission of Human Rights approved the new International Symbol of Marriage:
LOL... good one.
Good thing I have my own job , my own credit cards and not a euro car.
Would kill for a mini though.
This is my second marriage which has lasted 18 years (thus far).
I am not happy nor unhappy...just...stagnent.
18 years is impressive....kudos to you
....but 'stagnant'? that doesn't exactly inspire one to run to the altar
psst: 3 years for me, and stagnant.
I feel it's my fault, can anyone make any suggestions?
(spend less time on the internet might be one of them.)
It's my first and we've been married for 13 years, prior to that we lived together for four. We've seen friends divorce an remarry during this time. They were people who were more in love with the idea of being married than being in love with the people they were married to. They should make divorce eassier but getting married harder. My aunt ansd uncle , who've been married since 1966 are in the process of getting a divorce. Seems sort of silly and it's real ugly.
In a couple of weeks it'll be 18 years.
Does common-law count? If so, then 2 years.
By the way RH, the fact that you made a thread basically dedicated to your wife.... makes me wanna.... well not cry, but she's a lucky gal.
'Stagnant' is when the initial spark that fuled the "fires" has dissipated.
Takes two to make a marriage work.
Sometimes.. couples just get into a rut/routine, then complacency sets in.
This is when "Stagnancy" sets in.
Routines and expectations are what kill most marriages.
Some may suggest "A torrid Affair"...( You know who you are... and ty )
But it is the lack of small niceties which are detrimental to a succesful marriage... If ya'll expect dinner to be on the table when you come home h from work, the laundry done, etc... ever sat back to think for a second that reciprocating would be nice?
Works both ways for couples.
Just my 2 cents.

My wife asked me once if I'd ever have an affair. I told her one pain in the ass was all I could manage at one time.......and she was it. That seems to have cured her of silly questions on the topic......as if I'd tell her.
