It's my 10th wedding anniversary this year. And 17 years since we met. Christ.

It's way more effort to split up than it is to stay together.

I've never looked back. High blood pressure back then, but all fine now. Speaks volumes.
I'm sure my ex probably says the same.

or it took her 7 years to accept?

The only friend I have that's currently married had been with his missus about 4 years, I think. Around the two-year mark she'd told him when and where he had to propose, and then how long after that the wedding would be.
We all ripped the piss out of him for being a great big wetty.

one of my former colleagues created a pinterest page so that her pussywhipped fiance could see how to do it. she had a photograph of the ring, the bridge in paris with the padlocks, the works. ridiculous. where's the fun or spontaneity in that?
i lol'd when the bridge collapsed.

That sort of thing just wouldn't work with me. My main motivation to do anything ever is to get it done before I get pestered about it. If you pester me regardless then I just don't bother.

"And no more nagging from me"
Just sayin'

And we wouldn't have to repeat ourselves if you'd just do what you're fucking told in the first place.
I find that communicating the urgency or otherwise of a request helps. If you ask for something to be done, but don't specify it needs to be done within a certain timeframe, it tends to get added to the *end* of a list. Most of the time, and I know I'm generalising wildly, men appreciate having all the facts.
Men are shit at mind reading. Even Derren Brown. I bet Derren Brown's wife is sick of telling him shit.

I didn't pick Evan Davies either. I think my gaydar needs to go back to the shop.

i had no idea who he was. when he said he had to leave because he had to be at work for 3am, i assumed he was just a runner. but he is utterly charming.

the bottom of the list is where shit like cricket and horrible muddy bicycles and hordes of smelly LPs and rustbucket cars live. the top of the list is for important things.

If you want to "tell" me to do something you immediately invoke the "do it your fucking self" clause.

I actually don't 'tell' me b3th to do things. I ask. With a 'please' and everything. Then if it doesn't get done I assume he has forgotten or has some other reason why he can't do it, and I do it myself. Apparently it's what grown-ups do, or something.

Though not what some people in this thread seem to do, which I guess answers my own implied question.

At the time it was important to us to be married before we had any, so we waited. We now realise it means absolutely nothing.
