Another relationship rant

Post by wart57 »

How can a person(woman) say she loves someone, yet want to change everything about them to fit what she expects? Why can't we accept people for who they are? I love my wife, I know she has things that irritate me, and I would love it if she changed those things, but I know she can't, and I accept it, why can't she do the same?

Because more and more, our culture's version of love is selfish. People love themselves more than they love their spouse so they try to change them into something they want instead of being more concerned with what the other person wants.

Stay strong, Wart man. People can change.

I have noticed when my wife doesn't get her way, she acts a lot like my daughter does when she doesn't get her way, and Stinky is only 17 months old!

What the hell? Are you not feeling well today? Skipping a chance to kick me when I am down? I have lost faith in you fat....

Between you and my dad I think I've figured out not to ever marry an Italian woman (if I wasn't already married)
