do whatever you can to figure that woman out. the world is not the same as is used to be. divorce... i've been divorced for six years now. just got custody of my 12 year old daughter (her mom moved in, had a baby, and married a heinous boyfriend. in that order). i've accumulated $25k in legal fees, $16k in child support (still have $2k in arrears), and have to still pay another $21k in equity in the next 16 months. all to "buy back" what i earned and bought myself in the first place. and i still love my ex. we just fell apart after 16 years.

just don't go there. talk to her. do anything you can to avoid this ultimate mind-f*&%# called divorce.

Your woman will only be as sexy as you make her feel. Try something silly like giving her a hand-made gift certificate that says you'll do whatever she wants for a weekend (or a day/night or whatever). -no strings attached
Do something with her, anything, that you know she used to LOVE to do together. -show her (don't just tell her) you are still attracted to her.

That's a good place to start but of course there might be something else going on that we don't know about.

If that doesn't work, tell her you want to conduct an "experiment" with viagra some night to see if there really is a risk of it lasting 4 hours!

Aye brotha.. That sucks. Wish I knew what to tell ya. All I can say is I went through the whole unhappy BS for a while, and calling it quits was a huge relief for both of us. Nothing I did worked or made thing better. I'm happier now than I was..

Do like I do my six "baby mommas" go out, get them drunk, do some "edit" then all is good until the next child support payment is late.

Mine thinks she has a digital sign built in her forehead, so I can read her mind. When I think I got it read, she shuts it off.... :p

Tell her that you would like to take an afternoon away from all distractions. Get away from the shop, her job, kids, whatever. Tell her without pointing any fingers that you have seen a change in your relationship and that it really concerns you. Tell her that you want to listen to her and hear what she is feeling and that you will listen without argument. You might be surprised what people will tell you when you genuinely ask.

I , as a man is, havent changed a lot, I know surprised!

You don't remain the most interesting man in the world by being the same guy you were 16 years ago. How's she supposed to brag about that to her friends? Time to break out the cooking class / dance class / painting class card and start expanding some minds. Then use your sign business to your advantage. She got a job? Show up before she does one day and hang a giant I LOVE YOU banner up in the parking lot. She may not be into flowers....but her friends are. Buy the roses. She can roll her eyes at them, her friends will tell her how lucky she is. Peer pressure my friend.....peer pressure. Set a date night...put the kids in a kennel, take her out like it's your first date (meaning clean your car, wipe your ass, break out your A-game to charm your way into her pants) and get things rolling again.



Best of luck Bret.

....and that's probably the best advice you'll get.

Marriage is a great institution - and we all knew we'd end up in an Institution, didn't we?

Unfortunately, Woodbs is not a Premium Subscriber so if we move it to the After Hours section, he will not be able to see it.
And GG. Shame on you for revealing our naughty little private behind the curtains spot to the free section of the forum..
i had to tell him brad, cuz out here in the lobby i can only comment in an appropriate, well behaved, watch-your-tongue manor. hell you can't even get an hour of advice most places for $50... and here ya get a whole year... and on whatever subject strikes your fancy.... EVEN SIGNS!

pull the trigger Woodbs... it'll be the best $50 you ever spent.

short of that... the best advice here is Border's!!!!

:ROFLMAO:

ooo, ooo, and this too!!!

Think you both need to get naked in the afternoon more often.

and if it's menopause... well... i'm saving my thoughts on that for the AFTER HOURS/CAUTION/NAUGHTY section.

Have you ever flat-out asked her what's wrong?
If she answers "nothing" then you know it's something.
You took her to the beach and plied her with Corona, and she seemed to respond. Then it was back to the same old same old.
I think maybe it's not your wife, that it's you.
Are you taking her for granted?
Do you ever compliment the dinner she cooked or are you still at the shop and don't come home for supper?
Do you ever tell her she looks pretty, or that you love here even more than the day you married her?
Are you so busy thinking of the big picture that you forget about nice little gestures and tokens of affection?
Do you smell nice, groom, manscape, look good for her or are you still wearing the same old tired stuff you brought to your marriage?
Do you come up behind her and nuzzle her neck when she's stuck at the sink washing dishes?
It takes two people to make things work. Are you equally dedicated?
Someone said something recently to me that if I would have heard years ago it would have probably offended me. We all make our children our first priority. And to a certain extent, especially when the kids are young, that's good. But those kids grow up and (hopefully) move out.
You should make your spouse your first priority, because they are the one who will grow old with you, love you, and take care of you.
And a relationship (I've never had a great one) ideally should get better with each day, you should love each other more each day because of all the things you've shared and how much you care about each other.
Either that or she's met someone else, but the clues to that would be she would spend lots of time grooming, preening, texting.
:)
Love....Jill

Date her,... When you met, didn't you feel you would be the luckiest man in the world if she went out with you? So she did go out with you & more, so... Ask her out, set it up, doesn't have to be fancy, just dinner & something else, bike ride, bowling, maybe a movie she has been wanting to see, turn off the iphone, LISTEN when she is complaining about you, make sure it all isn't swinging your way, ie toys, out with the guys, on the couch with the NFL etc, Find what interests her and help with her with it, Don't just date her one time, make a habit of it, If you tend to her desires, she will tend to your pleasures, or you can let someone else do it. Remember many complaints add up to goodbye quickly. Remember to act a little like the luckiest guy in the world when you take her out.

Earrings are always a nice surprise, because you thought they would look perfect on her.

I have been married for 25 years, I feel like the luckiest man in the world, most of the time.

All she does is argue over little stuff, always uptight, but used to be more laid back, go to beach, have some beers etc.
I , as a man is, havent changed a lot, I know surprised!
Just thought I would vent here since it's safe:banghead:

to add to Jill's great advice, I too will ask have you asked her what's wrong? what is it that she is uptight about? does she feel like she is the person who has to solve everything? is it just getting to her after all these years as it seems you have not changed so what ever it is that you are doing, has it been bugging her for years and just lately, she has had enough?

I get stressed out as I have a laid back hubby who has not changed at all since our first date. what you love about someone the most some times is also the same thing that bugs you the most. that may seem at odds, but it really isn't. I love that my man is laid back and takes life easy and doesn't stress out over things. the problem with that is when we have a problem, I am all alone to figure out what to do about it. just this past week he found out that his car won't be done and ready until Friday of this week so he has no way to get to work. he dicked around and didn't find a ride until 9:30 Sunday night. he made no real effort to make any calls or do much about it so I was totally stressed out and felt like I was alll alone and I was bitchy. I wasn't ticked off at him I just felt overwhelmed and wished he was in it with me instead of sitting back all relaxed doing nothing. does this happen in your house? does she fell like she is alone in the worry? does she feel like she is the only one doing anything around the house? is she the one who calls the plumber, pays the bills, makes ends meet and so on? that, after time, will get to anyone. best piece of advice is to ask her. what you may see as your life's daily routine and no big deal as it has been like this for years may very well be what is getting to her.

No I don't take her for granted, I do compliment probably not as much as I should, but hard to do when I;m getting yelled at for leaving a pair of shoes on the floor or not taking the trash out or forgetting something at the store or dripping toothpaste on my sink or...or..or...
I've been told to leave, she wants divorce etc then next thing all is well?
I stay groomed,clean shaven all over, not that it matters...
