Reality of marriage for guys?

Danny Tse · July 2005

Saw this on another forum. Before marriage....

After marriage....

Mike682 · July 2005

Excellent!

Shizelbs · July 2005

Thanks. 10 days before my wedding. Thanks.

HK-POLK MASTER · July 2005

That is surely true coming from a recently divorced father.

jet2001 · July 2005

After 4 years of marriage, I'd say that is pretty accurate.

Shizelbs, don't worry, it'll be quick and painless. j/k

Mike682 · July 2005

The 2nd pic is a perfect example of why we like nice and loud audio systems....heheh

Reminds me of the commercial with the football ref getting chewed out on the field by one of the coaches and the commentators are asking, how does he do it, he doesn't seem bothered? After the question, you see the ref getting chewed out by his wife....oh! that explains it..

Before mariage is the bait, marriage is the trap.

Hey, your'e getting married on the same day as my brother!

Ron-P · July 2005

Yet another reason to have the lock to that man-cave on the inside of the room.

AsSiMiLaTeD · July 2005

not for me. Maybe it's the fact that I've only ben married or maybe I'm just lucky and have a great wife!

Burnzy · July 2005

Yep...that pics explains everything.

Before marriage your name is Mr. Right after, all of a sudden, you name has changed to Mr. Wrong.

But if we know this ahead of time, why do we walk down the isle? Kinda like "Dead Man Walking." And don't even give me that "Oh, it won't happen to us" BS either. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that one before a guy got married (including my own).

I could go on about a few more items as well.

Why does the bride wear white and the groom wears black?

It's her wedding and the grooms funeral.

disneyjoe7 · July 2005

Pictures say 1000 words.

Love it.

So the dishwasher matches the rest of the appliances......

Do you know about the three rings of marriage?

The engagement ring, the wedding ring and the suffering.

Congrats and good luck Shizelbs. The wife and I are going on 30 years. Life is what you make of it.

PolkThug · July 2005

Shizelbs, milk the bachelor party for all its worth, or else you'll regret it after your first divorce.

nadams · July 2005

I'd hate to think that you guys really do take marriage so lightly. Decide that the person you're marrying is the person you want to live with for the rest of your life, BEFORE the wedding. Avoid the messy and expensive divorces...

Shizelbs · July 2005

Does Polk Audio have a registry?

The party is going to involve beer, golf, beer, M's game, beer, beer, and who knows after that. Yes, in that order.

ninerbj · July 2005

Sure, the sex is less frequent...and after a few years of marriage your opinon is moot, but the thing that bothers me the most is the lack of intrest in looking good for each other.

Putting a ring on a womans finger is like pulling a rip-cord on a raft.

disclamer: "I love you honey, and I don't think your fat."

HK-POLK MASTER · August 2005

Thank is the most accurate thing you can say. I am recently divorced and my EX had it all planed about 6 months before it happened and what really irritates me is that she got the kids and she makes a whole lot of money atleast 5 times more than me and I pay child support not much but i do pay it on time every 5th of the month and all she can do is cry cry cry about not being able to pay the bills or food for the kids and she gets over 400.00 in food stamps and her self employed business and the support checks she gets from me. and her bills are half of what she is bringing in. so you all tell me what in the H*** is going on over their. It is just another evil nasty woman that is exerciseing her god forsakeing womens rights and to take advantage of the system in order to make the male species suffer.

A very old and wise, extremely foul mouthed, old friend told me that once you start hearing elevator music while your wife is screaming at you....it's time to ask for the check.

Frank Z · August 2005

Sounds like some of you men haven't grown up fully. Getting married was the smartest thing I've ever done.

Flame away.....

Willow · August 2005

steveinaz · August 2005

My "x" was a hell-****. My new wife is a dream. Just shows you how different it can be.

I"m sure MOST of the guys in here are just kidding. It's better to have someone in your life that you care about rather than the alternative of being single. Being single can be lonley at times..

I think a lot of guys can identify with the above pictures.. because it's true to some degree. Women tend to "soften" guys up some. Really, who wears the pants in the family? Your spouse, right? Admit it guys. They keep you from buying a new pre amp or other item every 6 months.

and having a whole house full or gear. :eek:

Maybe that's true.

I've never heard a woman complain about her husband keeping her from buying a new wardrobe (and accessories) every six months or keeping her from having a whole house full of shoes (most of which she never wears).

I have certainly never seen an eBay auction where a wife was selling off some jewelry or diamonds because "the husband says they are too big and have to go".

Ron-P · August 2005

I am coming up on 14 years of taking the vows and my wife and I dated for 5 years before that. I wouldn't change things even if I could.

Ain't it the truth.

I am newly married and so far she lets me buy anything I can afford and fit into the house.

This was posted on the Klipsch forum today. Seems somehow fitting in the context of this thread. Might I just add that I have been happily married for over 22 years and I sort of doubt that I'd still be alive without the love of a good woman (and, yes, that'd be my wife).

From: http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=69062&sessionID={84258AA3-A996-4C9E-A922-3CC96F400D1B}

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him.

She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him.

He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall.

She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.

"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room,

"Why are you down here at this time of night?"

The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating,

and you were only 16?" he asks solemnly.

The wife is touched to tears thinking that her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do" she replies.

The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily.

"Do you remember when your father caught us in the back seat of my car making love?"

"Yes, I remember" says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues ... "Do you remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said,

"Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years?'"

"I remember that too" she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says ..."I would have gotten out today."

Reality of marriage for guys?
