June 28th was supposed to be our wedding date in Mexico. So much for that.
June 28th I will have been with my wife for 24yrs (we were 18). Hope you can get something else nice figured out, good luck to you two and God Bless

Sleep at different intervals. I like to stay up late. She likes to get up early. Cuts the interaction window down to 8 hours in ideal circumstances.
Don't talk when you chew. In fact, don't talk at all.
Wear headphones. Noise cancelling preferable. Wear them even if you are not listening to anything on them. Make sure they are plugged into something or she'll get suspicious.
Do not look up. If you look Medusa in the eyes, you'll turn to stone. Do not look up.
Many moons ago the ex did not approve of something I'd done. Don't really remember what it was but it's irrelevant, anyhow as a result of said unnamed infraction she gave me the old cold shoulder. She moved to the couch for sleeping and literally didn't speak a single word to me for close to 3 weeks. Due to my rotating shift work this wasn't that difficult to accomplish but nonetheless for 3 weeks not a word in my presence.
Finally nearing the 3 week anniversary she approached me one day and asked if I'd noticed she hadn't been speaking to which I responded, yes I have noticed. Her next question was "Well, how does that make you feel"? Listen closely kids and learn from my mistake; my response to her question was to say "Well it's been kind of nice actually"!
Of course as soon as I said it I knew that I had screwed up. My beautiful piece and quiet ruptured that very moment and she never gave me the silent treatment again.
So if you ever find yourself being given the silent treatment and actually prefer it to the alternative remember this story and answer the question correctly.
In this crazy topsy turvy world we live in today a concept that has been forgotten by the young is the magic found in a marriage that can grow forever.
It can manifest itself in incredibly humorous ways. A couple married 60+ years I knew, the wife heard of viagra and was badgering the doctor for it for her husband, they were in their 90's. So funny as neither likely could have performed but boy she was trying...
"AND"......if you find yourself in a relationship like this...…………………"GTF out"...…...as fast as you can.
That was my failure, I stuck it out for another 10 years or so as I was trying to do the right thing for our two kids. I honestly don't know if it worked or not.

Both my kids hate my ex, their mom but love their stepmom. I guess it would be better for the kids if she didn't bail on us after 13 years then file for divorce from parts unknown. Just a P. O. Box #. My mistake for picking that one! I was fresh out of the military and wanting some regular loving. 3rd girl I dated & ended up marrying this against my better judgement. My mom dispised that girl from the get-go but was civil since grandkids could come around for her since my sister got murdered when I was 14 and she was 19.
The goat smelling part is a military reference. I actually don't smell that bad. Yet.
No, my current old lady and I are getting along swimmingly. I actually acquiesce to her demands of sex every night. I was just wondering if things went south of the border, what a reasonable, sane, prudent person could do in these trying times of Covid19?

Wasn't your first wife one of the Lancasters in Henry V's reign?
This has been the best thread ever! Goat smelling a$$, the pandemic, a shovel, Jerry Clower, xx years, marriage tips -- a true INGO classic.
26 years on April 16th. Where did the time go.
