    Yes, its true. I'm engaged to my sweetheart of 2 years.

    I asked her to marry me at Storm King Arts Center in NY, which is a gorgeous place to do it.

    We're starting to put lists together for guests.

    Obviously Covid is going to make this a lot more complicated. Maybe we will do a very small wedding a much larger reception months later.

    My fiance is VERY intelligent, gorgeous blond hair, a bit of a spitfire but she has helped me grow and mature a lot, and get thicker skin.

    We both love cats, she has two I have one. We love to hike, ice skate and eat cake.

    :)

    You must not want to get married. Why else would you post here that you are? You just gave yourself the Ronstar jinx. Sorry bro, looks like somebody is getting jilted.

    Just kidding.





    Or am I? I'm sorta convinced you some kind of super power.

    Congratulations!

    The last 14 years with my nerd have been the absolute best 14 years of my life. We celebrated 10 years of marriage on a cruise, three weeks before this nightmare started. The Diamond Princess got refused disembarkation, two weeks after we disembarked from our cruise.

    Ok - I strayed off point.

    I think the only thing that makes it work is admitting that we failed at communication somewhere along the way. We've never had a fight last longer than 12 hours. True story. The work it takes is nothing compared to the rewards.

    I'm very happy for you.

    Even if we're on opposite sides of the political spectrum, that doesn't matter. I'm wishing you and yours a very happy and fortunate wedding, and a wonderful life together full of cheers and wonder, and even when things get tough you'll be able to pull through :)

    All marriages end in tragedy. It’s either death or divorce take your pick.

    Congratulations! It may help to keep in mind that a powerful case can be presented that women are the most spectacular creation ever formed in the universe / multiverse by the Supreme Intelligence?!

    We are indeed privileged to get to share life with them...... Oh..... footage exists of the male brain at work and it is lit up in generally one spot...... the female brain on the other hand is mostly all lit up all the time....... We guys lose thirty some percent of our corpus Callosum during a testosterone surge while we are foetuses in the womb.... We guys are the victim of arguably the most off the scale humour ever devised.......
    So way to go in developing that thicker skin......

    Sorry I am late to the party. I only get on now every few days (if even that) due to training but Congratulations! I must have missed this thread a few months ago but I'm very happy for you.

    All politics aside, marriage should always be celebrated.

    Remember, SHE'S ALWAYS RIGHT!!!

    Congratulations. Besides having kids, marriage is one of the biggest changes of your life.

    Word of advice. When she tells you her problems, she's not looking for a solution. She probably just wants someone to listen. It took me years to figure that one out.

    OMG this is soo ****ing true!!!!

    i am sooo used to giving advice and solutions and helpful comments, she does NOT want that!!!

    she just wants me to listen, 95% of the time.

    when she actually wants advice, she specifically asks for it.

    like she'll ask me for help with a math problem or something.

    Women are such odd creatures. But nice and bumpy!!!

    :)

    I'm still learning. I will spend 4 days in a row training with my unit getting 3 hours of sleep if I'm lucky each night. Come home after and then my wife tells me about her work. We once argued because I got upset when she complained and I tried to tell her about my week. But then I realized that "it starts with listening".

    Now I listen more than ever before.

    i tried the "she's always right" attitude, but sometimes it just doesnt work for me.

    sometimes i challenge her and express my views. but i do it in a very strategic and diplomatic way so that it sounds like simply disregarding my statements would be very childish and ridiculous.

    thanks bro. :)
