Married

Why does everyone always say that marriage is so hard? Or that their first year of marriage was hard? Do they mean achieving actual married status was hard? Or to stay married once you are married is hard? Cuz all you have to do is not get divorced. Seems like more trouble to get unmarried than to stay married.


I just don't get it. Marriage isn't hard, marriage is awesome! Possibly because I have a perfect husband and the only thing that is hard with him is not being together every second, but I just don't understand when people say that marriage is hard. I've been doing this for nearly three years now, and I don't feel like it's really been hard at all. Am I doing it wrong or are they?


Probably when people say those things they are just being dramatic and want people to think that they have those fancy kind of tv fights where they thrown things and then have passionate make-up sex. Maybe they do have those kind of fights, but I don't know that dramatic fights would make your marriage very difficult or more glamorous. FYI- our marriage fighting style is generally bickering like my grandparents.


In conclusion- marriage is not hard. It is really easy like having a roommate that is your total bestie and you never get sick of each other and he/she never borrows your clothes without asking (or at all) and pays more than their fair share of utilities and groceries and- bonus- you get to doink. So what is everyone's beef?


*Afterthought: Maybe I am the annoying one in the relationship and my hub really would say that marriage is hard... No, wait. Me- annoying? Not possible. Nevermind. Marriage is still easy and fun.

On every anniversary Riley and I say "well, this coming year must be the hard one that everyone talks about" (you know, how everyone is all 'the 2nd year is the hardest' or whatever). Because really, marriage is not that hard. I just think people who whine about it must not be doing it right.

I have something to add to the complaining blog. I hate the word fabulous!! I especially hate when people use it for everything they eat, buy, see etc. AND, I also hate VINTAGE and all the people here who think they are so cool and being different because they "shop vintage". BARF, BARF, BARF!!!
