Why do you stay married?
Interested in hearing from guys who have been married 3+ yrs. Why do you stay married? From what I hear (read jake's bar reports) there's a lot of tail running around out there and most of it isn't looking to restrict your poker time.

Re: Why do you stay married?
I'm at two years but I'll answer. My wife is cool as hell. She's great around the house and she's a super mom. I'm still attracted to her and our sex life isn't bad.
Do I wish I could chase after some of the skirt I see on a daily basis? Sure. But I've already done all that stuff. I'm older now and I have to kids, I think there just came a point in time where I realized the whole singles scene wasn't for me anymore. So I knocked up my g/f and married her. The whole marriage/kids thing has really helped me understand and accept myself and I think I'm pretty happy with how it all worked out. My wife is pretty laid back. She lets me do a lot of things that a lot of wives wouldn't - i.e. smoke weed, game, play poker, do stuff with friends (with no guilt trips involved) I know it sounds corny, but she's my best friend. And I get to [censored] her on top of that so that's pretty sweet too. My one real gripe is that I'm pretty open to a lot of sexual things that I don't know if she'll ever try or not. She came from a really conservative family but I'm working on her. To summarize my rambling, I just think there comes a point in time where most people want some stability that Miss Random Bimbo can't give you. |

To my son - I tell him I will see him again soon. To keep his heels down while riding his horse. To my wife... that is not your business. |
Re: Why do you stay married?
Married 12+ years...
Cheaper to keep'er... I like my kids. I want to see them more than every other weekend. Lawyers are ------EV. Wives are -PV with positive variance that is just barely enough not to make your head asplode. There are better things than sex in this world...I just haven't found them yet. PM me if you know where to look. |

Re: Why do you stay married?
15 years and counting.
1 - My wife is my best friend. I can't imagine not talking to her every day. 2 - I know about all of her imperfections, I don't want to invest the time and effort into learning someone elses. 3 - She is the mother of my children, and for that she deserves a great deal of respect. 4 - I am old fashioned, and 15 years ago I stood up in front of a bunch of people and said "till death do us part". I meant it then, and still do. |

I have a family and I don't think the benefits of being single can possible approach those of marriage. My wife is very cool and doesn't hassel me at all. I told her 15 years ago, when we met, that there is two things she has to accept about me if she wants to get involved: 1. I will play poker often and that includes coming home at 5 in the morning once in a while; 2. I will watch football with my buddies all weekend when its in season. She agreed to it, and we've had no problems. On a side note, internet poker has really helped me avoid staying out too late, and that makes her happy. Anyhow, it should go without saying ... if you have to ask, its probably not for you (yet). |

I'm a female but I can relate to this statement. It made me think of the old Kevin Costner quote "marriage is a hard gig." My girlfriend told me that marriage is an evil force which brings out the worst in people. I think that might be a tad negative. I like to think it can also bring out the best. Reasons I like marriage: 1) Even after 10 years it's still great to wake up each morning with my husbands hands caressing me. Now that's incredible if you think about it. (We have never taken our intimate life for granted as it seems others have.) 2) My heart still beats fast when I hear him walk in the door every evening. I like it when he cooks with me. I just love him so much. |
Oh - and the #1 reason:

Re: Why do you stay married?
Many, many reasons. The Warden and I have been married for 4 years. It's a cliche, but she is my best friend. I think that sums it up best.

Homer: It's a boy! And what a boy! Nurse: Sir, that's the umbilical cord. |
Re: Oh - and the #1 reason:
Remember the episode of Mad About You, when Paul & his brother look at the sonogram? "Look at the size of that - you can tell he's a Buckmann!" I think it turned out to be a girl. Good times.

Re: Why do you stay married?
Looks like a lot of people are happy with marriage here. I guess growing up among arguing and fighting parents has given me a warped sense of what marriage really is. Funny how well rounded the people on this forum are (outside of musical tastes). Most people that I work with are highly educated but very unhappy with their marital situations. Most of them have been divorced at least once.
