What would it be like to be married to you?

So, what kind of spouse are you/would you be (or partner, if marriage isn't your thing)?

When I met my husband, I didn't pull any stops. I ate the way I normally eat. Maybe with a little spaghetti on my face sometimes 😳 and I didn't sugar coat anything. No surprises.

I asked my husband, "if you could change one thing about me, what would it be?" He said "you ask too many questions... like that one." :\

So, what should a person know about you, if they were to live with you (legal documents or no).

Here is mine:

  1. My sleep is erratic.
  2. I need to have alone time.
  3. I like a quiet house.
  4. I have a few phobias like bugs and germs...
  5. Hate clutter and I donate things every time I buy something.

Oh and I'm pretty sure my feet are made of ice. Chiseled ice cubes.

I'm going to be 85% rigid in accomplishing what I have to do when I have to do it, but 15% spontaneous and a barrel of laughs.

2
  1. I rarely take anything seriously.
  2. I snore.
  3. I'm actually an introvert. I need alone time to recharge.
  4. I'll eat anything.
  5. I never leave the lid up.

You're more normal than you think you are. We all have foibles. A person with a big heart loves others with a big heart.

1
  1. I snore
  2. I’m overly distracted and cranky when interrupted
  3. I believe an ordered desk is a sign of a sick mind.
    4). Work comes first, pleasure after.
    5). I’m very pertinacious.
3

I, too, need my alone time and a quiet space. I can be surly, especially in the morning. I'm not sure I'm really cut out to be a partner. I'm not sure I'm healthy for anyone.

2

I've been married twice and they both came back for more, more than once, so that probably means they were in between me and a good relationship.

But, I'm a pretty nice ex-husband too. Civil and polite.

So, marriage may not be the best relationship status for me but I am still working on being a good companion.

Gawd, from everything you say, you could be my soulmate... except for the last item. Oopsie!

godef Level 7 Dec 28, 2017

@silvereyes - Yeah, I struggle with clutter. In my head and my home.

3

In fairness to the victim. I was married for 19 years (including 2 years of legal separation). All while in the Military. I did 2 unaccompanied tours in Europe, 3 6 month Mediterranean Deployments, 2 North Atlantics, Numerous Drug Ops, Exercises, Refresher Trainings, Schools out of the area of residence. I was absent often just as any other Navy guy. THAT GUY IS IN THE PAST AS THAT MARRIAGE. i am Retired, not raising any children and with a very relaxed perspective of Life during Phase 3 of my life. Different Guy... even me wouldn't even know how much Fun I could be Now... specially with the Right Partner to take all that Fun Out of My Body!!!! If she can't dance... I can teach her... if I can't I know an ex GF that performs Miracles. But Buyer Be Aware... I Like Sex and Making Love and don't mind Foreplay!!!! What will be Ridiculous about Me? Too Many Nice Shoes.

You'd be overwelmed by my charm and you'd be in wifey heaven 😛

Hahahaaaa... A tough ride?

But if I were to actually get married in the first place you'd be getting the best of me.

I snore, have mood swings, will eat all your food because it tastes better if I love you, and will probably poop in front of you. Something completely unrelated to us will get me in my feelings and I'll go on rants constantly. I'll bite you to show affection. I'll do laundry but I probably won't do dishes. Our bed will always have have clean sheets and pillow cases. I'll tell you if I feel like sleeping with someone else. I'll get mad at you if your porn selection isn't ethical. I'll probably rescue random animals.

I've changed a lot since I was last in any long-term relationship.
I'm older and not nearly as wild as I used to be.

  1. I too like it quiet, it's very loud where I am now.

  2. I can't stand when the sink is full of dishes, and I don't just mean dirty ones. If the drying rack is full I can't walk past it I have to put them away. Then I'll wash any dirty ones and put them in the drying rack. 😛

  3. Sometimes I snore...badly.

  4. Guilty pleasure: Occasionally I'll watch those moronic shows on The History Channel like Ancient Aliens for a laugh. It's like watching a comedy program.

  5. Between all of the seizures I've had and the meds I'm on, sometimes have a trouble finding the words I want to say. or I can't comprehend a simple question for a second. It can be a little embarrassing, but that's what you get.

Icy feet are easy to overlook when you're with the right person. 🙂

This is tough for me to answer because my mind is a sort of organized chaos I can compartmentalize and at the same time I am being indifferent I can have compassion. Brain never shuts down. I can s take something that is seemingly simple and show how it is more complex than you relize. I am highly alert to settle changes (that theory about hidden in plain sight almost never works on me) if I finish one project be certain several more I have started to unravel. If you can not stimulate me On an intellectual level most likely I will find a way for you to give your self a reason to escape.

To be married to me would be horrible, I would hate it, and I am probably the only person who could tolerate me. I have been happily divorced for almost 25 years, my ex wife and I do not get on, but she still wants me back. 3 actual relationships since them, couple of years at most, but I still get on with these ladies, 2 of them I speak to daily and all 3 want to marry me. Silly women. The 3rd makes contact occasionally and all contacts with all 3 of them a very friendly. I am a bit of a control freak, not of other people, but of me an my surrounding, I fix things, not a handyman, but I don't leave problems unresolved. I can cook, far better than any women I have been in a relationship with, and I am a better mother, ha. I have raised most of their children, even when the kids weren't mine, in fact a couple of "not mine" kids are ion the next room at the moment gaming with my son. I am overweight and sore when overweight, I am very hot, it is impossible to sleep with me in anything but the cold of winter. I can't be lied to, it makes me very angry, and I can tell if someone is lying to me. I neither forgive nor forget any injustice. I am very kind, but not generous. Did I say I have been alone most of my life? I wonder why?

I listen to music almost constantly.

I eat three healthy, usually home made squares per day (breakfast is a must!).

My most hated chore is cleaning the dishes, though I do it promptly because I abhor bad smells.

I am an unapologetic cat person.

I love comedies, romance, fragrances, and modern art.

I can live without TV or sports, though can compromise.

I am straight edged - avoiding all intoxicants.

I find most things funny, even things that I probably aught not.

I look the same upon rising as I did going to bed (wear minimal make-up).

I am a night owl, not a morning person.

I am quite addicted to my full wave waterbed. I will totally try to sell you on the idea of sharing it with me.

I am fiercely loyal. I will be your best friend as well as mate. I will always have your back. I will be open and honest with you and will genuinely want to hear what's on your mind.

I was previously happily married for 20 years, ending it when cancer took my husband. I love marriage and know that it can work very well between the right people.

  1. I sleep like a rock.
  2. I need to have alone time.
  3. I like a quiet house. Or with some agreeable music, but not constant TV.
  4. Some of my best friends are bugs and germs.
  5. I try to buy as little as possible, but use and then repurpose everything as long as possible, before composting it!

I am an introvert. So need a lot of alone time. Socially, it takes time for me to be friends with anyone. But for reasons unknown, with a few i straightway make a connection. I believe in this site i found a friend like that. I do not know whether the other person thinks the same way though. 😉
I eat a lot and i have a sweet tooth. My taste buds are also very choosy. My wife always complain about it.
I am a very lazy person. Another big irritating factor for my wife.
On off days, sometimes i skip my bath.
Hate nagging.
When i sleep, its deep. I will totally be unaware of the surroundings. Even if a bomb goes off, i wouldn't know. I snore heavily.
Politically, i have a leaning towards left from the centre.
I am not chivalrous but i respect freedom and privacy of the other person.
So the list goes on about my negatives. Basically, i am a very boring person. So, lets end my chance to find a date here...ha ha...

Kind of like being married to a white guy version of Urkle.

OMgawd, I never thought of it before, but that is me! No marriage, no cohabiting on account of it, I would probably fall on you & hurt you, whoever you ain't gonna be

1

I've been married to me for a long time, and it seems to be working out. But other people who have attempted don't appreciate these few things:
I) I can't just sit around and do nothing. I get fidgety.
2) I don't need people much. I came to realize that most people need to feel needed. I fail at making people feel needed.
3) I am a MMA junkie. But the person with me doesn't have to be, (see number 2).
4) I live for alone time. But I can be alone and share a room with someone (see number 2). A talent I learned in the marines.
5) I don't care about money. I give things away all the time. If I were married, I would not do that without the consent of my partner, however. I am big on sharing decisions if I am in a relationship. Saves on arguments.
6) I laugh a lot.
7) I listen to truly obnoxious music, but do not need my partner to listen to same music (see number 2). In fact, it doesn't matter what my wife listens to, I will make fun of it. And I expect the same in return or I will think you don't care.
8) I am perpetually creating something. About 12-16 hours a day or more...I will stop to bow chi chi bow bow or just have 'us' time. I'm not that bad. Okay, maybe I am....hehe.

@Kreig I don't think there ever is a 'bad' year...One Championship, Bellator, LFA, VictoryFC, TitanFC, Bamma, Rage O' Cage...etc. I like watching the fighters develop...Till was a big surprise...Moraes going from World Series Of Fighting was awesome...217 and 218 were really good events though...as for holloway, the guy is a 9 out of 10 fighter....he will win 9 out of 10 times against almost anybody, but the same thing that makes him exciting makes him beatable....great champ, though....Looking forward to Frankie and Max...

@Kreig Gaethje was the World Series Of Fighting Light Weight Champion...he was a savage...and still is....that fight between Eddie and Justin had me almost passing out from holding my breath....what a great fight by both competitors...Oh yeah, I would love to see a Conor vs Max fight....Max is so much better now....but mcgregor is the master sniper of the lighter weights....the fight that is giving me shivers right now is Miocic Vs Ngannou....how the hell is Miocic going to handle that guy...I don't think I've ever been more impressed with the power of a heavy weight (I was a heavy weight, guess still am...hehe) as I am with Ngannou...

You'll have to ask my wife. I am ... well ... biased.

2
  1. I fall asleep late (and wake up late too when I can).

  2. I could spend pretty much all the time in the world with someone I really care about, though work would likely prove a major obstacle lol.

  3. I like the quiet, but I also like loud music, so long as it's good music.

  4. I'm not particularly scared of anything-I've already faced depression and decided nothing could be worse, so I'm pretty hard to frighten.

  5. I don't like clutter but can live with it easily.

Usually my entire body is practically ice. I like my space heater and blankets.

10

I sleep with my dog.. I snore and he kicks and farts.

My work schedule is a disaster.days and some overnights.

I hate kids and use words like rug rats, nose miners,breeders, and breeding.

I use bad language often.

I call men who like traditional ultra feminine women kitten fuckers. Obviously I'm not a Ultra traditional feminine female

I’m often inclined to use phrases like rug rats, but that would be unacceptable for a teacher. Maybe lazy assholes.

LMAO @ "kitten fuckers" !!! Hysterical!

@SKDeitch lol I'm a real catch!!!!!!! Lol!!!!

@Kojaksmom I'm still cracking up over "nose miners" !

3

1, I will spontaneously burst into Elvis / Dean Martin impersonations.
2. If sat in front of a log fire I will fall asleep.
3. The love for my classic car is matched only by a mother's love.
4. My cats name is Princess Badgerpuss, get over it, she has.
5. I will be in my workshop in my spare time, but don't worry, I'm probably handcrafting you a gift.

Dav87 Level 6 Dec 28, 2017

@silvereyes, I cannot believe you'd laugh at an innocent cute fluffy kitten.

@Dav87 ...handcrafted gifts, you say? Hmmm, again, funny what you find when you snoop your significant others site. haha!

@Dav87 oh yeah, and I Want that cat!!!

@Sadoi she will be our cat 😉 x

@Dav87 awww... okay. that is an agreeable option. ❤ 😉

Aside from what is already on my profile, I don't want to marry again. It would take a lot for me to consider cohabitating, but I would enter at some point into a dedicated monogamous relationship with the right person and I'm down for sleepovers.
I try to stay balanced in all areas of my life. I am a fairly independent person (but I struggle with some of my cleaning chores now though, and it's driving me crazy.)

I repurpose a lot of things, and usually have some kind of craft project going on. I do spring and fall cleaning/ organizing purges, and at one point kept a garden. I don't mind "living" in my house during the downtime and when folks are there, but I want most often to wake up to a clean de-cluttered and organized house. (I can be distracted from that under the right circumstances.) My home is smoke-free. Contact with tobacco smoke causes me to get bronchitis, even if it's on your clothing, so if you smoke I cannot date you.

I'm a nocturnal person that sleeps by day and functions by night. I sleep on my side, and yes I snore. I love pillow talk. In privacy, I'm a cuddler both in and out of bed. I give massages, and I love wake-up sex. I love 'presence' and you will be given my full attention when you are there, but I also need my alone time.

I don't have cable for my TV. I like my quiet peaceful apt, and most often I will wait to go out for the more boisterous and rowdy activities. On occasions, I do have small gatherings with friends though, and will expect your friends, and family to eventually become a part of that also. I still hostess a pretty good live-streamed Superbowl party.

I love children, but they drain my energy nowadays. I function with them best if I can have structured planned time for interacting with them, and if younger than teen years, preferably if accompanied by parents. (Emergencies are the exception.) I am at a stage where if I date someone with children they need to be grown.

I like to cook, and I also eat meat. I will try most things. I cannot eat some of my favorite foods. I like to go out to restaurants and find activities to do on paydays when money comes in though. I would pamper and spoil you to the best of my ability, but I would also expect you to help me with things like heavy lifting, opening jar lids, and getting things from the top shelf.
I'm recovering from the flu now and had to turn down an opportunity, but I travel at the drop of the hat at almost every opportunity if I know a person well enough to trust them.

I have a few phobias... like spiders...and... spiders. (Did I happen to mention spiders?)
I have an agreement with bugs. As long as they remain in their own habitat, I will respect them and try not to disturb them. When they enter into my domain, they are risking their own life.

Donna Level 6 Dec 28, 2017

Wake up sex. Is that what it's called. In general, you are a person I would like to meet.

@Donna
You are generous in your descriptions of things, but I knew as soon as I saw it, that some would zero in on "morning sex" as if you'd said nothing else. (grin)

LOL....SMH...

Did I happen to mention spiders?

@Donna You did indeed. You can send them to me - I love spiders ! ever since I was little...

Why can't you eat some of your favorite foods? Allergies?

I suppose. I have never had it tested to find out. I just know that one day I could eat and enjoy them, and then out of the blue, my system refused to allow that to happen, so I had to stop eating them. I still go back to test every so often. It's frustrating.

2

Wonderful! I am in agreement your points listed above with the exception of number 4. Bugs do not bother me and when you think about it we are walking chemical/bug factories....

1

You guys make me feel inferior. I have only been married once. Had a few girlfriends since then but now I am open to offers. (Girlfriends are still friends - just don't wanna fuck anymore. I didn't think it was THAT bad!)

Eh, I haven't been married at all. Maybe that is why I recon foreplay is the best four hours of sex.
