You know you’re in a long term relationship when…
Discussion
Your partner moans you don’t spend enough time with her, so you take a day out to go shopping and then end up saying “see you later” because you both want to go shopping in completely different shops.
The missus wants to look in boutiques and home accessory places. I, on the other hand, want to look at gadgets and audio-visual stuff and classic car books and DVD’s.
“Where do you want to meet for lunch?”, I’m asked.
“McDonalds is fine by me”, I reply.
A roll of the eyes and it’s clear that it needs to be a bistro somewhere. So a quick change of direction and we agree an Italian restaurant!
Oh the joys of a 20 year marriage. But you know what, I wouldn’t change it for the world. We’re best friends and instinctively know each others thoughts and feelings - by a glance or a certain tone of voice. Marriage is more than just passion between the sheets, it’s a partnership of two friends. Old fashioned maybe, but that’s our take.

That's almost as long as I've been alive and I thought I was doing well on the 3 1/2 year front!!srebbe64 said:

Very similar with me, (28 yrs marriage) except for one thing:
You would not get me in a McDonalds!!

the truth
Indeed. Here's a reply to an email I sent earlier today, explaining that I wouldn't be going for a curry tonight as expected:
"Oh well, looks like your have to spend the evening with either me, or the computer!!
" (smiley and bad English included)
Aren't girls great!

Well, come to think of it, so has hers. She's pregnant.
What brought that on then?
I'll tell you what, we've got four kids and my wife always goes over the nine month term. However, we've discovered a "highly reliable" way of inducing the birth.
That's just too much info mate!

I don't know. I've searched high and low for the answer but can't work it out.
I've asked all my friends and none of them know. I even asked this strange bloke who I found in our house about 5 months ago, wearing just boxer shorts
and he didn't know either.srebbe64 said:

You are damn right that marriage is about more than passion between the sheets, because when you get married you dont get much of that anymore.

Well, coversely, I'm not married and a priest has had more sex this year than me!
On second thoughts, thats probably not a good analogy!
Look on the bright side-if you are married you might be getting even less because there is less opportunity to ahemm... have sex with yourself.

Agreed. I now have a horrible mental image of you hooking a carrier bag on her toes before jumping on her stomach shouting "Four!".
