OMG, you quoted from a sitcom?

No man, he's going to regret giving up a good job.
Success is all about taking risks... opportunity knocks once... is the ring overpriced, blame that on DeBeers, not the woman...

I told him that someday he would get tired of giving in and letting her make all the decisions. He has reached that day in his life and it is going to be expensive to start over. Getting married to a woman like the one you are in love with is a mistake. I'll say that again, just so you will know you know i mean it. Getting married to a woman like the one you are in love with is a mistake. Getting her own way is more important to her than her love for you. That should be a huge warning signal to you. I wish i could say this all more clearly so you would understand it. Don't get married to someone you know will cause problems later on in your marriage, if you do, you will regret it. Take it from an old geezer, who has been there and done that. Stop your relationship with her while you are still ahead. If nothing else, just ease out of it until you are not seeing her as often.

OMG, I quoted a movie! The quote stuck with me because that's how I feel. I'm happy with my husband every day. Nobody should have to settle and nobody should be in a relationship that is more work than play.

Women are different, they are like buses, if you miss one, there will be another one coming in the next 15min.

Replace "women" with "men" and the same saying holds true!

Sometimes the better bus was the one that left 15 minutes ago... you don't want to be standing out in the cold night finding out that there are no more buses for the night...
