Been married 13 years, with her for 15, so I gues I qualify too LOL.
Quote:
As far as in the relationship, she has a very simple way of looking at it, as long as my collecting doesn't interfere with real life (ie bills, groceries) then there are no problems, only once did it ever go too far and we had an arguement (To which I will fully admit is my fault for overspending). Quote:
If you see another girl who you think is attractive do you ever get the slightest feeling like "Wow that girl is beautiful...I think I can do better than the one I'm with".
I see attractive women all the time, and yes I do look. My wife made a joke about 6 years ago when she caught me looking at a girl that was in a VERY skimpy bikini at a pool. She said "It's ok, I don't care where you get your appitite, as long as you eat dinner at the house." The second part "I think I can do better than the one I'm with" I have to say I have never, ever thought that. I suppose that might be me as I keep thinking on how to improve what I got rather than looking elsewhere though. But also I am content and have had some BAD relationships before my wife, so I know the grass isn't always greener. Just cause a woman looks great doesn't mean she has a personality to match, and often she doesn't. Quote:
Do you ever "miss the chase" or getting the attention of someone new?

Do you think it's normal to be with someone that you care about but have 2nd thoughts from time to time even if you don't act on them?

Do you ever feel like "wow she's a great person but I feel like I settled"?.....I mean have you ever thought that? Even once?
I know that a lot of people have the pressure to "settle" but I have done my best to avoid it, I have had plenty of moments in a single life without the ties of a relationship and never felt the pressure of "having ot have a girlfriend." For about 6 months I didn't even bother, just because I was tired of the game of getting attention and crap. Quote:
How do you accept your partners faults? Not superficial things, I mean stuff where if the good didnt outweigh they bad...your head would explode over.

You need to stay out of my head, bud. a lot of this stuff's been going on for me lately:
I knew my future wife for a while before I showed her my collection. Sometimes she's more tolerant than others. Lately...well, I may have to unload some things. I'm keeping most of my Joes, but I need to sell some TFs and superhero figs. I don't think that just because you're married, you have to stop thinking others of the opposite sex are attractive. Second thoughts? Yeah, at times. I've never strayed, but I've been accused of it. Wifey's a bit paranoid and insecure. I was pretty frustrated with her over the summer, and it didn't help that I was finding myself strongly attracted to a co-worker, whose b/f is a loser. Like I said, i've never done anything, and I'm not exactly a ladies man. Things are ok right now, but I've thought about leaving more than once when things were really bad between us. Not sure if this helps, PV, but it is what it is. |

Why does this look like it's turning into a serious conversation?

where to begin? My wife and i have been together sense high school, 10 or 11 years now. I have only been collecting for a short period of time. She has no issues with this at all. In fact if you compared this to alot, or any of the other things i have liked in life. This is by far the least stressful on her i would say.
All guys see other chicks, have thought ext. its normal i wouldn't worry about it. Do i accept my partners faults? Well were still together and haven't killed each other yet...haha just kidding, i think a relationship is constant work on both sides of the fence. You both have to give, and "REALIZE WHAT THE OTHER IS GIVING". Now regardless of that last statement you also have to realize some things about your wife well never change, and some things about you well never change. The rest is all negotiating chips my friend. |
