I cook, clean? And my favorite thing to do right now is cross stitch.
Yes, I want to be in one of those old couples who has a couch and a lazy boy in the living room next to each other. I’m at the edge of the couch doing some sort of old woman craft while the husband is on his lazy boy next to me either snoring or reading.
Oh, I love to see old couples! Especially when they're hobbling along with their canes and walkers, they can hardly walk but they just prop each other up and keep going. It is so sweet, relationship goals!
And, whatever you do, don't listen to them when they tell you, or make the horrible mistake of asking them, what they want.
They don't know either.
My girl-friends get mad at me for saying that then smile because they know it is true. I seriously have never had a girl-friend even take me to task on this statement, which I think is telling.
Don't get me wrong, we men don't either, y'all just think you know. Most of us know we'll never figure you out, and gave up on trying a long time ago. The smart ones did at least.
That's ties in to my theory on how dating in general really should be approached. You start out dating thinking you know what you want and, hopefully, through the trials and tribulations of your relationships you end up learning what you really need.
The answer to that is the same and different for everyone of us at the same time, I think.
There are certain things all successful relationships share, but the list isn't very long.
There are many different ways of having a successful marriage. What works for you might not work for others, and that is perfectly fine.
There seems to be no advice people love giving more than marriage advice, for some reason, just look at me go here.
The only advice that matters is that which originates from your SO, nobody else's.
People enjoy sharing wisdom of their experiences. Some of it is because we like being helpful, some of it is probably a little vain.
My favorite piece of advice for new parents is something I experienced and wished someone would have told me: don’t get button-up onesies. Don’t let your parents or friends buy you button-up onesies. Only get zipper onesies. The reason being is when it’s 4 am and you’re tired as fuck and have to get up in a couple hours for work so you’re irritated too, and you’re changing your infant’s blowout diaper, you really don’t want to have to deal with those tiny evil buttons
If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the 60s and bitch slap every hippie feminist who burned her bra and pushed for women in the workforce. They screwed us.
I wanted to be a 50s style housewife - there is honor in raising a family and running a home.
Now we are supposed to do that and pull serious bucks.
It's a gigantic stressful strain on women (well, GOOD women). I've seen it play out with basically all of my wife's female friends and my female acquaintances. College, job, married, kids then: "Wait... I want to be home with my kid." And then it dawns on them. The reality of their nature and that they've been lied to. They WANT to be at home. They freakin LOVE it.
We know someone with a mathematics degree who thought it was her literal calling to educate people. After her child she's like fuck this, I'm quitting in a year and it'll be a miserable year. I want family over this. lol.....
They also want you to be wholesome, and for you to endeavor to make us better people even if we bitch about it every step of the way.
Modern feminism has failed you.

She’s a keeper right here

I can be straight up Andy Griffith wholesome. I also reserve the right to go full Genghis Kahn on some fools.

How did he hold on to that gem of a statement for 21 years?
The great thing from my perspective as a man is, IMO, if he didn't still feel that way about you he wouldn't have told you, even now.
I feel the exact same way about mine.
Thank you for sharing that. Brought a smile to my face.
