What qualities do you bring to your relationship

Jon has this lovely, innocent, pure humour that can't help but make people laugh :lol:

This correction is brought to you by genuine altruism, not one-upmanship. That's what you meant Miss Boo, non?

In blonde English please Buckley :!: :roll:

Re-read your post - you said Jon's humour 'couldn't help make people laugh' when you meant 'couldn't help but make people laugh' i.e. always does bring chuckles-a-plenty.

I felt it prudent to point I wasn't point scoring (who me? never) just making sure people knew what you meant because it's great that you are clearly So... in love.

Right, that's enough fluffiness for the day - who can I sack? :twisted:
 
This thread is so depressing. You're all in such wonderful, nuturing relationships with great people whom you relate really well to.

What do I bring to my marriage?

Copious amounts of apathy! :?

Oh, and I have to pay for everything too. :x

There's an easy fix - post the same question if it's raining on Tuesday morning. The weekend is ahead, the weather just started getting better, it's all rosy in the garden. Everyone's gonna go out all weekend, get battered and come Tuesday life will be terrible again! :lol:

Apart from for me, 'cos my response was carried out in a contolled enviroment with all subjective influences removed. Or something.

Ah, so you're saying there are seasonal factors at play here? In reality, everyone's relationships suck as badly as mine and they are equally apathetic in said relationships?

I'm not sure that's a good thing. That means there is no hope.

:lol: For God's sake man buck up and do something then. Life is short mate, fix it or change it. It's that simple.
 
Apathy is'nt the best thing for a relationship to survive - its not gonna get much better if you cant be arsed with it is it? As Ghandi (AKA Buckley) says - do something about it...... either fix it (together) or move on.... or at least ask yourself why your apathetic about it..... :?

That's my philosophy too.

You either fix a problem or move on.

You only live once, don't waste a single day!

If it were that easy, I would have! I offered her my entire savings to leave a month ago... she's still here :roll:

It's hard to throw away 8 years (7 married) and a good friend, even if you believe the relationship unhealthy.

...and where are all the happy people? The positive posts of relationship bliss have dried up!

Maybe they are so loved up from my initial post that they have all gone home to make love with their other halves..... :?
 
Morbyd, my view is as thus....

You must have been in love with her once, why did that change? If I was in your position, I'd look back to the first year of your relationship, when (I'm guessing) you were madly in love.... what did you love about her then? Do you still love that about her now? If the answer is yes, you can definately make the changes in your relationship and get back to the good times. If, sadly, you don't feel any of those old feelings, then maybe it is time to make some changes :(

Not true.

Myself and my partner are rock solid 100% happy after 16 years (not married)

She is just as much fun to be with as the first day we met.

Not saying we haven't had a few dark times, but we learned from these and made us closer.

I guess the main problem is, I don't remember what I was thinking!
Maybe it's the excessive consumption of alcohol... my memory is shot these days :lol:
 
Dont really know where to start with this one...its hard to put into words

I'm the slightly more mad one in the relationship (ie I like to be out all night, where's shes happy to go straight to bed after a night out). I'd say I bring her out of her shell, and make her feel really good about herself. I travel 300 miles every second weekend to see her, as she does for me to.

I make her dream more, that she can have much more than she ever imagined before.

She keeps me from going far too mad on nights out, and generally has a calming influence on me. She has taught me that the simple things in life matter much more than material possesions etc.

However, the most important thing is that I know she would do anything for me, and she knows I'd do anything for her

:D
