I think long engagements are stupid. Shvt or get off the pot man. What's the point of being engaged for 3 years or "pre"engaged for that matter?
If you're engaged that long to save money for a wedding, worse. Save the money for something that lasts longer than a day. (If you have the money for a big wedding without sacrificing other things this does not apply) If you're waiting that long to plan a wedding, wtf takes 3 years to decide? Pick a color, pick a dress, pick some food. No one really cares that much about anything but food, booze, and music at a wedding anyway.
*This uo brought to you by my sister and her need to have a Rockefeller wedding on her and her fiance's part time job budget.
I pph your UO!

I had a 1.5 year engagement because I was planning from far away. We were together for 7 years before that. We were just too young and not ready until then, but didn't want to break up. I really like long relationships before marriages because I think marriage=forever and I don't want to take it lightly.

SIMBASIM · April 2011

My UO is I don't think anyone should get married before a year of knowing each other. You really do not know someone till after a year. We didn't get married til after 5 years and while I admit it was a little long, we certainly worked out all the kinks before getting hitched. WE NEVER FIGHT.NEVER.

I cannot/will not eat any food off of a bone. No exceptions.
I hate cheese.
I hate the word "moist" ::shudders::
I would love for Lady Gaga to fall off the face of the Earth.

I HATE LADY GAGA. She is creepy and weird.

I can't stand country music.
Or cats.
Or eating anything that lives in the water.
DH and I argue about once every two months.
I love being a SAHM. I wish I could lounge around the pool and get my nails done.
I hate wine.
I don't see that attraction in being skinny (I can understand fit, but it seems like most people just want to be skinny).
I own a prepaid cell phone and I use it for texts and calls. I have a computer for everything else.
I hate coffee.
I love living in a 632 sq. ft. apartment.
I think living in a little box made of ticky tack would suck.

My girlcrush on you just got even worse. Except for the cats and seafood. Please don't bust out your iTunes or we're going to have a situation on our hands..
Damn!
::exits out of iTunes::

Too late! I'm already all hawt and bothered just thinking about it!

My UO is I don't think anyone should get married before a year of knowing each other. You really do not know someone till after a year. We didn't get married til after 5 years and while I admit it was a little long, we certainly worked out all the kinks before getting hitched. WE NEVER FIGHT.NEVER.

I don't quite agree with this. You can also know someone for 10 years before getting married and still find out all kinds of stuff afterwards. I don't really think at the 1 year mark you suddenly "know" someone.

And while DH and I don't "fight", we do not get along every single minute of the day. I think it's very strange for a couple to never disagree on things or have different opinions-it makes me feel like one person in the relationship is completely submissive to the other.

I don't know what your definition of "fight" is though.

DH and I were together for 5 years when we got married also. It really strengthened our relationship waiting to get married. We don't really fight either, we may get snippy at each other every now and then (I'll admit it's usually me who starts it and it's usually due to work or PMS or something like that), but it's rare that we actually fight.

I'd also like to add that I think it's imperative that a couple live together before getting married so you really know what you're getting into.

My UO is I don't think it is healthy to never fight/disagree with your H/SO. A lot of times that means disagreements go without showing and boil up inside a person until they explode. I'd rather up-front disagree with my H rather than let something fester.
I also think it's BS when people say they never fight or disagree with their H/SO. No couple perfectly gets along 100% of the time, and while I'm a fan of discretion all the way, I don't understand why married couples feel the need to portray such.

Thank you for posting what I was trying to say below...it just didn't come out that way! I'm horrible with my words lately!

Being together is one thing, I'm talking about people who stay engaged for-ev-er. I totally think you should be together a long while before getting married, I just don't see the point of the endless engagement.

I can't stand it when people dress their children the same, especially when they're not twins. I have a friend who continues to do this with her 3 children(2 boys and one girl) and the oldest is ten. It just looks silly.

I'm a believer in kids(not babies) having candy, sweets, pop, tv, etc in MODERATION - let kids be kids. If they don't like sweets, fantastic, but I think it's a bit extreme to never allow your kids sweets as long as their diet allows it.

LOL. I do this! 10 years old is a little old but I think matching PJ's are adorable!

And for the second, I agree, moderation is key! My kid gets plenty of cookies/candy. But when I see kids having cocoa puffs for breakfast, chocolate pudding and chocolate milk with there lunch, with M and Ms, juice and pop as snacks all day long? Its too much!

I just signed the Jamie Oliver petition. I can see my SIL rolling her eyes at me through the computer.

matching jammies are ok, but when it comes to leaving the house it's a fashion don't in my world. The last pic we got from my friend, they were all three in matching tie-dye Tongue Tied

Here's one that will probably be extremely unpopular among this circle: I think LCB and her group of asskissing groupies are a bunch of twits. You'd think she shiits hundred dollar bills they way y'all have your noses firmly inserted up her asss. Get an opinion of your own instead of agreeing wholeheartedly with every single holier-than-thou thing she spouts off. Oh, and smocked dresses are hideous and overpriced. Kthanksbye.

I agree with this 100%. My H and I dont scream at each other but we for sure dont agree on everything. I will let him know if I dont agree with something and he will do the same. IMO I think it would be very boring to always agree with everything your H/SO says or does and not realistic either.

My DH and I always joke we got all of our "fighting" in the first few years. Yes we get snippy, who doesn't? It is how you react to the other person. I get snippy and he just ignores it and we NEVER take anything personally.

I am a huge believer in living together. I believe the little $hit is the stuff that destroys marriages. You better know what kind of person you have to share a space with before you opt to spend the rest of your life with them.

I never said disagree, oh we certainly disagree! LOL! We never fight or get "heated". Nothing is ever that important for us to get mad at each other over. Humor is a big part of our relationship. So when one person gets worked up, the other makes them laugh. it just works for us. This was not an overnight thing either. We fought a WHOLE LOT THE FIRST YEARS. We have just learned to pick and choose our battles wisely.

Why on earth do you even care or let it bother you that much??? IMO LCB is not always "right" but she is intitled to her opinion on things and she is always honest. I am not a groupie by any means.

I think it is ridiculous to vent about your husband on TB. I understand the occasional "gah DH pissed me off for a superficial reason" post.

But, I find it crazy to complain about your husband cursing you out, refusing to help with the baby, banning you from doing things, etc.

The only thing that comes out of posting things like that is making your husband look like an ass and making you look like a complete fool for putting up with it.

I also cannot stand people that opening talk trash about their spouse to IRL friends on a regular basis. Be a joint front in public or don't be married.

I realize no marriage is perfect but bad mouthing each other in public or on the internet is just asking for trouble, IMO.

I know I have posted something about my marriage before but honestly, the replies I got from it helped me get some perspective on my marriage and helped me out. I don't think I've ever bashed him though, just thought we weren't right for each other.

IKWYM though, sometimes I wonder how these women put up with men that are blatantly a$$holes to them. Kind of like when I watch 16 and pregnant lol

LCB and others took mine about the DH vents. Ridiculous.

Mind: I hate babylegs on boys. And most board/straddling hopping is really starting to get on my nerves.

Shoot I just got some baby legs for DS

See my siggy. I personally love them. It's OK.

And I mean this in defense of the PP who said she hates babylegs - everyone can dress their kid how they want. I have overalls. I'm sure some people love them on their kid.

Right. Exactly, I know it's unpopular. Dress your kid however you want. I personally don't like them like you don't like overalls (which I don't like either ha).

It's getting really hard to be able to state something unpopular without people getting their feelings hurt. I mean gahhh.

Emily, you definitely hurt my feelings! I love baby legs & board hoppers!! Crying Haha

I disagree with this. I don't think a healthy, strong marriage is built upon people being together for 10 years and living with each other for 5. It's the love you share with each other and willingness to work through problems and disagreements. Also, the acceptance of faults within each other. My husband has quirks that are hard to live with sometimes, and so do I. It doesn't mean we won't work through them together while constantly learning about each other even more along the way. I have found that although we can be two completely different people at times, we balance each other out in a lot of aspects which strengthens our marriage even more.

I say that because my mother always told me to live with someone before you get married. She told me that if she had known what my father was like to live with before they got married, he wouldn't have survived long enough for them to get married. Mom was always very tongue in cheek. Regardless, I found that to be a valuable piece of advice at least for me.

Living with DH before marriage worked for me; we needed to get to know how we lived together and accept the differences. I think if we hadn't it would have made for a very difficult first year or so of marriage.

I agree you may find things out later than a year but it takes at least a year to know someone. It certainly not the magic mark but it seems like a realistic time to commit your life to someone.

When I say fight, I mean a real bad argument. We disagree plenty but we respect each other enough to allow the person to express himself without being flamed. We never allow a situation to escalate into a ridiculous fight. Nothing is that important.

MrsLacy:
I don't feel bad for people who's marriage isn't working out if they never talked about major life decisions/changes before they tied the knot. You have to be pretty damn delusional to get married before talking about finances, kids, property ownership, and probably even untimely death.

This.

I hate stupid meetings where people have to talk about vision and mission statements. its a waste of time because no one actually does anything with it.

You may disagree with her but, if everyone had a stick up their butt about everything they disagreed with on this board it would die.

She's obviously mellowed and doesn't start shvt anymore. So how about everyone just move on? Stop wasting space with silly call outs.

Someone admit that instead of using formula you give your baby swiss miss. That's something I'd like to read.

Since I don't have my own today, I will piggy back.

Any Holiday candy is a waste of money. I have Easter bunnies and Christmas candy in my freezer because my child won't eat it. This Easter the bunny is bringing a DVD, Outdoor spring games (jump rope, bubbles) and a Spring outfit. I would rather put money out on things that will be used. Kirstin is getting 1 cloth diaper and a stuffed bunny with the year on it. (Quote fail)

I will add on to LCB's UO too. I hate the couples who have public facebook break ups (nasty status and all). And then a day later I see on my feed that they are engaged.

I also think it is silly that they get offended when you're not happy they are back together. Especially after they tell you he has hurt you and yelled at their kid. <vent over>

I loooaatthheee this.

Oh, I never meant to imply that a marriage was doomed if they didn't live together first! I didn't realize it read that way.

SarahWaggy · April 2011

I get so tired of people who think their opinions are so RIGHT that it should end the conversation.

Also, I genuinely despise ignorant people. Unfortunately that covers the majority of my mother's side of the family. I love them because they are family, I despise them because they act the above statement with their crazy ultraconservative hypocritical religious banter. (Now, I am not saying all people who are religious are hypocrites. I am talking of a certain group of people that I know.)

Also, sometimes I don't want to get on here for days because some of the banter that goes on here drives me crazy. I am a firm believer in "To Each Their Own".

I just know a lot of couples that are "Stepford-ish" in the fact that they portray a perfect marriage, which usually is just a mirage for what is really happening behind the scenes.

This is my IL's. They are currently separated, and when people found out they were amazed because they were so good at playing a nice, happy couple in public. For those of us who knew them, it didn't really come off as a shock.

nadinethequeen01 · April 2011

I hate when bigger parents (as in over weight) get p!ssed off because the Pedi told them that their kid was over weight. Denial is not just a river in Egypt!!

Yes, this is about one person in particular. I wanted to shake her when she told me. I wanted to say "Well, your kid has a double chin at the age of 3 ... she is probably over weight." but I was nice.

By no means is a marriage doomed if you don't live together. I think "playing house" hurts people in some cases. the whole "why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?" My Dh had a little case of this! LOL! It all worked out fine in the end though.

I'd also like to add that I think it's imperative that a couple live together before getting married so you really know what you're getting into.

I wholeheartedly disagree. Just wanted to back up Kirky on that. I know y'all have hashed it out so I won't elaborate.

Here's one that will probably be extremely unpopular among this circle: I think LCB and her group of asskissing groupies are a bunch of twits. You'd think she shiits hundred dollar bills they way y'all have your noses firmly inserted up her asss. Get an opinion of your own instead of agreeing wholeheartedly with every single holier-than-thou thing she spouts off. Oh, and smocked dresses are hideous and overpriced. Kthanksbye.

Why on earth do you even care or let it bother you that much??? IMO LCB is not always "right" but she is intitled to her opinion on things and she is always honest. I am not a groupie by any means.
I've actually been on these boards a lot longer than I've had this name. I was a lurker whatever. I used to think LCB was stuck up mean whatever. However, I don't think that's the case now. You may disagree with her but, if everyone had a stick up their butt about everything they disagreed with on this board it would die.
She's obviously mellowed and doesn't start shvt anymore. So how about everyone just move on? Stop wasting space with silly call outs.
Someone admit that instead of using formula you give your baby swiss miss. That's something I'd like to read.

mmm, hot chocolate.
Unfortunately, every one who came and stuck up for LCB just made yourselves look like groupies. LCB can handle herself, she is a big bumpie.

I'm really not sticking up for anyone, I disagree with a lot of what she says. I guess I just feel like this call out may have been warranted on the tri boards but not now.

I've also seen this opinion started so many times I don't find it very unpopular.

I do have a FB account but I think it is crazy how people obsess over it. The same goes for a cell phone. It is sad that some can't go even a few hours without being on one or the other.

I am totally guilty of this. It's my worst addiction that I just can't seem to kick!

I think Carters clothes are totally boring and look like they all came out of the bargain bin at Kohls. I put her in them for DC most days because hey, I know they are going to get dirty and I am totally down with scouring the bargain bin at Kohls for her everyday playwear. But there are so much cuter, and just as (if not moreso) affordable clothes out there to dress them in when you're going out somewhere. Every Carters outfit, I always see at least 10 babies with the same one. Bo-ring!

I guess I'm old-fashioned in this area but I felt it inappropriate for me to live with a guy I wasn't married too. I don't judge people who do move in together before marriage...I realize times have changed and that's pretty much the norm now. but, for me, personally, I couldn't have lived with any guy before marriage. My husband moved into my apartment the day after we got married. We are going on 5 years together, 4 married.

I think a marriage will last depending on how committed a couple is, not on how young/old they were when they got married, how often they fight or how long they knew each other before they tied the knot.

I actually really like my MIL.

Ditto. She's awesome.

Me too!

Me three! She's BSC but in a good way.

I really liked my MIL... My MIL passed away in March 2009 from cancer so I feel kinda sad when I see so many MIL bashers on here.

Same here, except insert FIL. My FIL was awesome. He reminded me so much of my grandfather (who passed away when I was 15.) He died three years ago, long before he ever got a chance to meet our boys. It makes me sad, all the time.
