Would you rather be right? Or stay married?

:wink:

2

I’m right and I’m still married (20ish years).

3

Hey, don’t make fun of us lonely people!

4

I am left (I mean I tend to vote to the left)… and still married (for 40 years!).

5

I think Billy’s question was aimed at the men. :slight_smile:

No comment (11 years).

6

Married for 17 years!

Marrage is a bit like unicycling in a way, it’s difficult to find that right balance, it can be frustrating, It can be incredably rewarding, it has it’s up’s and down’s.:wink: and some times im not allowed to ride it at all. :astonished:

But to answer your question a bit more seriously. If I was right all the time it wouldn’t be right :smiley:

We work better as a team than fighting each other!!!

7

So you’d rather be married, of course, than be right.

8

Not if I was right No!!!:wink:

9

We’ve been married since 1984.

I’ve had 20 wonderful years of marriage.

10

But maybe your math is wrong:o

My wife and I have been married 20 years, we got married in 1991.

11

There were 7 not-so-wonderful years in there, then?

12

It’s an old joke.

My post I mean, not her.

13

I agree with my wife so that we can be happy and wrong together!

14

I believe in the old motto “Choose your battles wisely” and I give things the “will this matter in ten years” test. I find that if I am right about something and I just agree with my wife she will come around soon and admit that I was right and how sweet I am to agree with her rather than start and argument.

Married 18 years and loving it.

15

Try “Will this matter in 25,000 years,” and you’ll let still more stuff pass. Heck, by that test, she can bankrupt you and date 10 other men, it probably won’t matter in 60 years.

16

Actually, I was bankrupt when we met and she was cool with it because I was honest about it. Since then I’ve become a stay-at-home dad for the past 14 years and she is the bread winner. She brings in the money and I take care of her, the kids, finances, cooking, house, cars, well everything basically. Unfortunately with prices the way they are, we’re not going to be able to keep things this way and I’m now having to look for work.

17

You’re going to have to get a job, AND keep up all the other responsibilities! Because you’d rather be married than right!:stuck_out_tongue:

18

Good advice for any relationship.

19

I agree! That’s how me and maestro8 keep getting along;)

Living at opposite ends of the country doesn’t hurt either… :stuck_out_tongue:
