2 halfs to me, guy mode and girl mode. My girl side loves to be so girly in a skirt suit, swimsuit, club dress, cheerleader outfit, or school girl uniform!

Guy mode - road biking and bmx frestyle.

If I tell everybody my husband and I do absolutely nothing together except sleep in the same bed and eat at the same table, I am not lying....

I do not know what good couples are supposed to be like together

We do not argue or fight and we both love our kid

We have a nice house in a nice neighborhood and our kid is happy

One thing I learned through him and the 8 years of marriage is that I have to be happy without....

That's it!

I know he has issues

But it is myself stuck to him

Therefore I MUST have issues too, right?

I am not complaining about anybody or anything anymore

Well, when I had an "other half" we would take day trips or longer road trips, visit museums and other touristy things (helps that I was living near DC at the time). When at home, we loved watching football, the Packers/Vikings rivalry always made for some fun bets. We also liked playing games with his kids, taking walks, and going to the gym.

Camping, hiking, fishing/shooting, boffer fighting (padded weapons- it's fun!) and playing bloody knuckles. Tickle fights, cooking together while listening to classical or jazz, mocking each other incessantly, ruffling hair, more teasing, people watching, shopping, throwing each other into the ocean, surprising each other with flowers and candy...

Man, I just realized how much I absolutely adore my husband.

I'll tell you one thing we try to avoid doing: Watch television.

Television kills the mind and it ruins marriages. If the two of you finish dinner and then automatically flip on the idiot box, what you're really saying is you care about a bunch inane dramas than you do about your spouse.

The computer is the next "idiot" box if you ask me

See, I disagree. At least when you sit down to a computer, you are actually using your brain, even if you're chatting with a bunch of yutzes on the Internet or reading the news or learning about new and different things.

Meanwhile, when you watch television, you stare at the pretty pictures for hours on end. It is an utterly passive experience, requiring no thought or interaction.

But, more to your point, when my wife is home, the computer goes off.

I do agree with you BTW on the TV thing.

We really limit how much TV we watch.

My comments about the computer were my generic in nature in that people are letting technology get in the way of "real" interaction with life.

I work with alot of guys that are in their 20's and I can see the impact that technology has had in their "development". There are a couple of guys that seem to be lacking in certain social skills.

Don't get me wrong I love technology. I work in a technical field.

They don't call them crackberries for no reason.
