And I feel for you. I STILL get people (not my family) but some friendsMY age who say "wow, you guys are young...I want to party until I'm 30THEN talk about marriage." It's their choice. But I'm alsogoing to let you know it's very hard being the only marriedcouple in a social circle. Our friends range in age from 20 - 31 andonly 1 of them are married and pretty much everyone else is single. Allwe get are marriage jokes and "well we don't want to go out w/ themarried couple." What they don't understand is we started out asfriends, then best friends, then boyfriend/girlfriend...but we're stillbest friends! We don't do anything in front of our friends that wouldmake them uncomfortable. :sigh: But, I digress.That's justsomething else you're most likely going to have to deal with if you getmarried now.



Ditto to everything but this part! Oh yea.


What it boils down to is... Do you love him faults and all? If you doyou have to be able to let things go. I watched my parentsdestroy themselves because nither can let anything go.

Well, it just must be our friends. We had friends in college that knewus as friends before we were together, so it's cool. However, our newfriends from work are nice, but are the kind of people that are goingto continue to go to college parties in their 30s (which is kindasad...but whatever). So, we personally get the marriage comments, kidsjokes, etc. It may not be something everyone faces, but itsure sucks when you have to!
 
Thank you Lalena, The advice is comforting.

Lollipop sunshine and rainbows? haha. I ahte sunshine but close enough.

No, I feel we're fully prepared for a healthy marriage and future together.

I will eventually elt this go, but its just that we're not gettingmarried until June/July and so I feel like...theres still time to maybemaybe maybe fix things and I dont' know if he will, I know he's tryingbut I an't count on him to. What will be, will be.

The issue/point was kind of more like, Its just a really depressingissue, and its depressing to see all these people around me go throughthat ''perfectness'' that I wanted to experience. I don't ask for muchout of life or relationship....so its kind of disappointing when thingsdon't work out. I wanted a ring, a down on one knee, and a ''will youmarry me?''. Simplicity at it's finest. I even told him this. manytimes, and I told him also many times how important it was to me andhow much value I put on that. So, I guess that why i'm a little upsetabout it.

Yes I truly madly deeply love him. I can definitely put it aside forthe sake of marriage and lollipops and unicorns and whatever the heyyou were sayin'. :D

I just needed to feel better, and not so alone in the issue. Everyoen has been great, and helped out a lot.

HE buoght me a steak last night, so I can't complain.

I also wanted to add that no, I ont' think I shoud be treated like someprincess and have everything go my way all thet iem and my guy has tobe a romance god to please me because thats what I see all the time.EEK no. Erron is at the opposite pole from romantic. I don't need aneveryday romantic fool....but once in a blue moon....its nice. Likewhen he brought roses home for me yesterday....even though I kind offrown upon live flowers as a gift because they die and its kind of awaste of money...I told him this and he knows it plain...but he stillthought of me and did it anyways and I thought it was sweet. When hegoesto pay for gas and coems back with my favorite candy bar(CARAMELLO! OH EM GEE....) ...that makes my day.

When I come home from work and he's cleaned up and madet he bed and fedthe bunnies for me and tells me to lie down and take a nap....thatsgreat too!

He also just bought me $30 worth of books. I'm set for like, a week!

And we were going to do a movie yesterday but he wasn't feeling welland I made him go home and chill. But I saw Eragon is still playing ata more distant theatre here so I said '' you can take me to see thattonight.'' and he said ''ok''.

So, all is well. I'm still kidn of disappointed, I don't know if thatwill ever go away. but the thing is it doesn't itnerrupt or get in theway of our relationship. We hardly talk about it, only as needed, butwe go about as though everything is jack dandy, because it is. We veryrarely get mad at each other. I can't remember the last time I wasseriously actually ANGRY with him.

I think I'll post some pics and tell a grand story...

So Erron and I were eating sloppy joe's, ok? And He was joking aroundtalkin' crud on muh bunnies, yo. And He was just joking but I told himto stop, and he didn't. And I had like an impulse attack and I jsut hadthis urge to throw something at him. There happenedt o be a sloppy joein my hand at the time. Next I know, Erron is covered in orange meatsauce. And After I threw it...I totally didn't remebmer throwing it.This happens to me a lot. Weird moments of my mind leaving for a fewseconds and evil Jesse taking over!

So I'm kind of in shock I did this but the sight of a man covered inmeat suace was very funny. He just...stopped. and looked at me andsaid. ''you....are a nut.'' and just keeps eating. So I took a photoopportunity. He finished eating before he cleaned up.

My god anyone else would have been furious with me. But we just laughedand laughed about it. And I think he got revenge the other day.... Idid it again but I forget what I was eating.....I think it was likepudding or whipped cream or something dessertish and I just had thisurge to take my figner and scoop up some cream stuff and smoosh it onhis shoulder. He looked at the mess...and at melaughing...and then he grabbed me and smeared his shoulder to myforehead. And we just laughed and laughed.

This is an everyday thing...of me doing stupid things and him dealingwith me and us having fun. How many guys could stand me? I dont know oftoo many.
 
Hehe...my husband and I met online,too! At emode.com, now tickle.com. Nice to know I'mnot the only one...:D

Though, JAK...you said you and Erron met online too, right?Hmm...brings to mind an interesting topic...which I'll post in a moment.

JAK...that is too funny...I wish I could have seen that sloppy joe mid-air!! HEHE!!

Lalena...I know what you mean...NONE of my friends are married butme. In fact, my husband and I are the ONLY people in both ourcircles of friends (well, we're all friends together now, but thembeing originally separate circles...know what I mean?) that havekids. Believe me, that's ROUGH...and it's hard on us a bit,too, because they gather together amongst themselves more often thanwith us, because they have freedoms that we don't, etc., and are moreinterested in doing things we cannot, and well vice versa, too (theyaren't interested in family skating night, hehe). But I'm sohappy and love being a mommy...it's so worth it. I have awhole new set of freedoms, especially in homeschooling...becauseI have the freedom to help guide a young person toward being the bestperson she possibly can. And it's so much fun!:) Yes, there are hard times with it, but overall I love it,and wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!

There are times where I've had to set my friends straight on how tobehave around my daughter, but for the most part, they get it and Idon't have problems again. It's nice to have goodfriends. :)
 
Er and I don't have problems as far as beingmarried or unmarried in circles. His friend just got married innovember, but all his friends and family are still in San Diego. Butwhen I was out there with him, we still all hung out together andshtuff.

Our here, My friend jsut got married but there was no ceremony becauseshe was only back for like two days (she's in the marines) and her andher boyfriend just did a quick JP marriage, they plan on having aceremony later.

My big brother (he's not really my brother but thats our relationship)got married in MAy. Before he was married we'd always double date andhang out with one or the other, we're always mixing and matching.Sometimes Erron and I would go out with Just Matt or just Matt and Iwould go someplace together while Angel was at work.

Also my friends Emiyl and Chris aren't married but are expecting a babyin Feb (maybe sooner, oh no!). We're all like, best friendswith each other. Chris moved here from Kentucky to be with Emily, sohe's in the same position as Erron is, lonely, friendless, and awayfrom home. so they get along great and play together now. Emily and Ican dump our boyfriends off on each other if we want to go do girlstuff an the guys can talk computers and play station.

I haven't really experienced troubles with all that stuff people havebeen talking about. This is kind of new to me...does thishappen to a lot of people?

I also have singel friends that dont' mind Erron and I together ascompany or just me or just him. I guess I can udnerstand how it canmake people uncofrtable.
