LOL I think the photo seems kind of funny but that might be that I haven't had that much sleep. LOL

Oh there is just NO WAY that is happening. My hubby comes home and gets to listen to ALL the things that went wrong with my day and then I listen to his, and then we talk about all the good things that happened. My house is pretty clean and I try to keep it that way but I do it for me more then him. He is a bog boy and more then capable of cleaning up after himself. LOL I wouldn't have made it far either! LOL

My house is clean the dishes are done and dinner gets cooked BUT it gets done when I feel like doing it. If he wants it done he knows how to cook, load the dishwasher and clean. He'll ask me but hes not to accpet it! LOL He jokes around like that and he gets the look of death. He tells everyone if looks could kill i'd be killed all day everyday! LMAO

I get the house clean and the dishes done but rarely do I cook dinner, maybe a couple times a week. He loves to cook. He tries the "get to it woman" thing(jokingly) not a chance in the world mister! LOL

That is such crap!

I'm not THAT nice!

Matt and I aren't married but when we are, we'll split chores. I'll do my own laundry and keep my stuff picked up and clean up my messes, and vice versa and everything will be fine. I'm not about to do his laundry and stuff unless I'm staying home. ha!

Guess I'm old fashioned, but if he were paying the rent, providing everything, as was the norm in those days [ideally], then I would definately answer to all that.
There is the problem of being a doormat, which encourages him to wander.
I see that Harpies do well with keeping men at home, in many cultures.
A pity, really, I would rather trust....

my aunt miyoko was full japanese. i always thought she was the perfect wife. her husband, my uncle boyd was retired military and then he worked for the dept of motor vehichles. they had a very lovely home. she kept herself and their home immaculate. whenever he needed anything she was right there to get it for him. you never went to their home without being offered all kinds of goodies. i always looked up to her and admired her .they married very young and they were inseperable.when boyd passed away a few years back, she passed away a few months after. i think when he died she gave up on life. they said she had cancer, but i think it was a broken heart. so i think when you truly love someone, you want to do whatever it takes to make them happy.

Aww, dusty that's really sad. I believe people die from a broken heart. I know I would if Matt died of if we had a child and it passed away. I'm deeply in love and I don't have to be married to die from a broken heart, I hope you all believe that because seriously, you don't even know how much we love each other.

I was looking on our local newspapers website at the obits. and there was a woman who died like March 23 2003 and her husband died the very next day.....they had kids and eveything. They had a double visitation. I think he died of a broken heart, too.

I'm sure it can happen.
He is a turd, but anytime I stay apart from my lover of 27 years, I feel like I will die. I hope he lives a long life. Women live longer than men, esp. in my family, and that worries me. He is from a different genetic background [he is Iranian] so maybe it won't be the case with him. I know his dad is much older than his mom, and is just fine. Worries me that Mahmoud smokes...but I have a few things to work on, too.

I'm a lot like this but only because I'm a clean freak. That stuff is my job. I don't work outside of the house. My job is to take care of the kids, dogs, and house and to do it to the best of my ability; Just the same as how my husband leaves the house everyday to provide for the family monetarily. My husband provides for us the money to have everything we need and than some and I provide my family with a nice home, free of filth. I look at it as an even trade. Am I a doormat? No. He knows he can’t walk all over me and would never even try. At 6:45 as soon as he walks in the door (I know he’s going to be home at 6:45 because he takes the same train everyday) dinner is ready. Not just for him but for the whole family. I have had a long hard day, he’s had a long hard day, and we’re both ready to end our day with a family meal. We never go out to eat or order food in. The thought of feeding my children God knows what turns my stomach. Now myself, I don’t hesitate to pull into a drive-thru if I’m alone, which is rarely, but I refuse to feed my kids that garbage. I’m not saying we never go out, but it’s extremely rare. Even my mom comments on that. :) I try to make enough lunch and dinner during the week so that the only thing I have to make on the weekends is breakfast. I just haven’t found a good way to have leftover breakfast yet. The thing I’m trying to say though is that I love it. I love keeping my house nice. I love knowing how much my home has increased in value because of the things I do outside and in. Believe me, some days I soooo wish I had a job but for the most part I really enjoy what I do. I think if my husband dies before me I will die of a broken heart very quickly. My husband said something to out friend one day that is so true. He said, I love my children but I live for my wife.

When I first met my lover, his English was not good. Mostly he was just shy to speak it, he had been well educated in Iran.
One day, he was muttering something under his breath, and staring at me. It sounded like he was calling me "June". For some reason, I did not care for that name, I could only think of June Lockhart when I heard it. Exasperated, I asked his best friend why he kept calling me June, when my name was Cheri. His friend looked at me very seriously and said, "He is saying, you are his life"... [Juneam is my life in Farsi]. Must say THAT shut me right up

Anyone ever seen Mona Lisa Smile?? Yep, I would be just like the teacher that Julia Roberts plays, except I am married but I was in college and finished and made my career shortly afterward. I would've never made it either!!
