You don't have a marriage, you have a business relationship.
It sounds like most of the time she isn't selling for the price you want to pay.
When you are willing to pay the price required, you have a deal.
As I said, you already have the perfect marriage.
As long as anything is more important to each of you it will remain that way.
Again, you make your choices, and get what you choose.
What the hell are you talking about? Since I go on a golf vacation each year with 20+ of my buddies, which by the way is the ONLY time I see them each year as they still live in NY and I now live in NC, my wife and I don't have a marriage but a business relationship?
As I said, you already have the perfect marriage.
No marriage is perfect. Not a single one. But my wife and I have an outstanding marriage and both of us are very happy.
As long as anything is more important to each of you it will remain that way.
What's more important to each of us? Do you have some insight into our marriage that I don't?
Again, you make your choices, and get what you choose.
What choices have I made? And what am I getting because of these choices?
You seem to be awfuly interested in my marriage and telling me about it. Seems something is lacking in yours and you compensate by trying to make you feel better about yours by knocking others.
