Get Off My Lawn |
Yes, since college over 35 years ago. I guess I'm an odd one, I truly like hanging out with my wife  "I’m not going to read Time Magazine, I’m not going to read Newsweek, I’m not going to read any of these magazines; I mean, because they have too much to lose by printing the truth"- Bob Dylan, 1965 | |||

Yes. We passed that milestone some time ago. I love her very much and I would be lost without her. | |||

So, what do you old ass, emasculated, toothless and helpless oldsters who don't understand what it is to be a man in the modern world, have to say about what it takes to have a successful long term relationship? I've only been married for 10 years to a woman who I've known for 22, so I'm not sure. Arc. ______________________________ "Like a bitter weed, I'm a bad seed"- Johnny Cash "I'm a loner, Dottie.

Well we've been an item coming up on half our lives in a little over a year. Started dating at 17, didn't marry until 26, and we are 32 at the moment. I've often thought about the fact that we will be together half our lives at 34....what a trip. ...Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel, was just a freight train coming your way... | |||

About a month shy of having been married to Mrs. slosig for two years longer than I was alive before we got married. However, we got married two years to the day from our first date, so I guess you could say I’ve been with her four years longer than I lived without her. She surely drives me crazy sometimes (and I likely drive her crazy most of the time), but I wouldn’t like to go back to living without her. | |||

FWIW, even after 40 years on, and now 5 years off, we are still "friends". Think of Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof, and the statment: "As the good book says 'Each shall seek his own kind'. In other words a bird may love a fish but where would they build a home together? We are, bird and fish. Yes, we still love each other, and have no need nor desire to seek any other. Life is good, and yes, I believe, both of us wish it could be different. But we are content with this. It will be sufficient. To those who have "the good life", I can say (for her, too) "We" both, wish you well. We will continue our "long term relationship, from sea to tree" as it were. (Hell, it works for the Navy...)

Told cops where to go for over 29 years… |
I met my wife in 7th grade at the ripe old age of 12. We both turn 57 in a couple months so we have known each other for roughly 78.95% of our lives. We were married where we were 24, 33 years ago in March, that will make us married for right about 57.89% of our lives. Looking forward to watching both those percentages rise. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

I posted on page 1, but thinking about Arc’s question: We had some rough years. The worst was when our kids got chronic illnesses that drastically limited their lives, and I as a doctor couldn’t do anything to make the illnesses go away. But we got through that—-partly out of sheer stubbornness—-partly out of a promise I made to myself not to do to our kids what my Dad had done to his. In the last 15 years or so, things have gotten much better, and we now have a standing joke that someone is pouring love potion in our ears so when we wake up we are madly in love with the first person we see (a la Midsummer Night’s Dream, of course). In my family, I believe of the last two generations I’m the first to celebrate a Golden Wedding Anniversary. Retirement has taken away more stress than I knew I had in my life, so that has helped, as has our one and only (so far) grandchild. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

| If you see me running try to keep up  |
Not sure if I’m old enough to fit your description but I’ll chime in. The hardest part is finding the right spousal unit that has the same marriage and life goals. I’m committed to my wife and only my wife and she is committed to me and only me so neither of us have to worry about infidelity. Second, we accept each other for what we are. I annoy her at times and she annoys me. We are willing to make sacrifices for one another but we also accept the way we are and what we like and don’t like. Third we don’t let money ruin our relationship. I’m a spender (but also the sole breadwinner) and she is a miser. We’ve compromised so money doesn’t divide us. Fourth we do love one another and that’s also an important part. I can see why single guys stay single, I tell my wife that if she passed I’d never remarry since I doubt I’d find another spousal unit that would fit my requirements above. I’ve never run across another women that could take my wife’s place. | |||

I was 19, wife was 16 when we started dating in 1975. We were married in 1978. So we have been together over 2/3 our lives! | |||

Met my wife in 7th grade, started dating before college, married at 26 and have our 29th anniversary in 2020. Time flies. Key to making it this long: we both are pretty good at letting things go. Never had a real knock down yelling fight. We disagree, we talk, sometimes we agree to disagree and we move on. It doesn’t hurt that I listen to “this is water” (David Foster Wallace) about once a month. A good grounding reminder. Just another schmuck in traffic - Billy Joel | |||

| Three Generations of Service  |
For those who may have noticed the dichotomy between my post in the original MWGTOW thread (I'd never remarry) and my post in this thread (Married 45 years tomorrow) this explains it exactly. Not that I don't love my wife or I'm unhappy being married, but I'd NEVER find another woman that would put up with my shit, nor one who's shit I was willing to put up with. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||
