So I had this conversation with one of the guys I work with this past week. He was telling me about how he has been married 10 years (he is 32 y.o.) and that he finds it really hard to be married and have to be around his wife. Anyway, in so many words, he told me he envied me for the fact that Matt works 7 days a week and that eventually I will get the "7 year itch". This got me thinking...
It's just sad the number of people I hear complaining about their spouses. It is pretty constant at work. It is almost more acceptable to complain about them then to praise them. Sure I complain...just ask Nikki, Lisa or my mom but not to the point of not wanting Matt around. That's so sad. My parents are coming up on their 35th wedding anniversary! No doubt a huge success and I wonder what they contribute it to? I have my ideas and I am hoping they will reply with their thoughts. Anyway...
I guess with Matt not here so much and missing him so much that I appreciate what he does for his family by working (even if other people don't see it) and I appreciate the times we are together. He makes me laugh...hard...until I cry. On days when I want to throw in the towel, it keeps me going.
My dad told me once that guys talking about how crappy their marriage is are pretty much looking to hook up - okay he said get laid. I am learning that there is more truth to this than I could have imagined...of course, he also told me that if I ate too much sugar I would get worms...
