Women

The spark and the binding of two people is doing things together.

I used to think the same. But my brother has proved me wrong. Don't remember now when he got married, how long its been. First marriage for him, the second for her. Had two kids together that are now almost 50 years old, and several grandkids. My brother and his wife are close - but they have completely different interests and spend a lot of time apart. Both retired now of course. She spends her time going on cruises, visiting museums in Europe, things like that, with her girlfriends. He spends his time on his Honda Goldwing touring all over the country...when he's not making really beautiful furniture in his woodworking shop.

So they have a home - a beautiful home - together. I visit with them every year and there seems to be no discord. They do agree with each other politically and philosophically and yes, when they are home they share the same bedroom. But they don't do much together.

If POLITICS is considered too controversial for TBN, then this thread is obviously radioactive and should be immediately banned / locked / buried before someone hurts themselves . . .

I would call this the most toxic post of the thread. Most comments have been sincere and respectful.

I think he just means tread lightly because it would be so easy to make things worse in spite of hoping to make them better.

Coming on a tractor forum for relationship advice is like doing the same thing for medical advice or finical advice.

That said I’ll put in my two cents. It’s a little telling when you say “my house” and “I pay most of the bills “. Does that have anything to do with the way she treats you?

I was just joking and trying to point out that you should be careful what you post here. Dangerous subject . . .

I have property and tractors. I don't come on here very much for the tractor advice.
Much of why I visit is social.
What's the weather like in your corner of the world, how's the garden doing...
You may not get to know each other directly but you do get to know the character.
You pick the threads you enjoy and add your two cents ($0.05 in Kanuckistan as we don't have the penny anymore.)
Should the Great Lakes thread be removed?
Ignore what you don't like.
There are numerous threads I haven't bothered with.
But if you want to be helpful with tractor issues, where can I get parts for my Hoyt-Clagwell?

Hoyt-Clagwell

That sounds like a prediction from Carnac the Magnificent.

After 5 pages no has said the secret to marriage is "compromise".
IMHO without compromise there is no long lasting marriage.

Of course there is the, "If mama ain't happy, no one is happy".
