My opinion is the latter. Macharius Send a noteboard - 19/04/2011 01:55:00 PM
When I say "I'll think about it", I really mean "I don't want to, and am wuss-ing out by not providing a definitive answer so I can avoid having a discussion about it in the first place". If I was genuinely unsure, I would discuss it with my wife.

Sharing in what's important with one another is a significant part of a successful relationship in my mind - it certainly is so with my wife and I. His wife made an effort to include him in a family event: her reply that she'd go alone is indicative to me that she's no longer willing to make the effort to include him with what's important to her.

Helene, I want to give you an answer but... - 19/04/2011 08:58:45 AM 957 Views
Fair enough - 19/04/2011 10:01:51 AM 909 Views
inlaws are not always bad - 19/04/2011 02:10:18 PM 872 Views
I spend way more time with my in-laws than with my own family. - 19/04/2011 02:17:41 PM 863 Views
I'm like this with my future in-laws too. *NM* - 19/04/2011 04:47:05 PM 423 Views
I think they are right - 19/04/2011 10:20:39 AM 1086 Views
I see your point - 19/04/2011 10:42:51 AM 1039 Views
Re: I think they are right - 19/04/2011 01:59:57 PM 917 Views
I think that's an unfair assumption. - 19/04/2011 02:16:54 PM 846 Views

No offense... - 19/04/2011 02:35:53 PM 997 Views
yes but have you found such a thing? - 19/04/2011 03:05:35 PM 918 Views
For now I have *NM* - 19/04/2011 03:08:17 PM 458 Views
how long has it been? *NM* - 19/04/2011 03:16:32 PM 434 Views
Don't try to corrupt me with your long term pessimism - 19/04/2011 03:34:39 PM 863 Views
sadly I seem attracted to the crazies *NM* - 19/04/2011 04:08:14 PM 425 Views
Could be either - 19/04/2011 10:30:50 AM 957 Views
True enough... - 19/04/2011 10:44:28 AM 937 Views
My opinion is the latter. - 19/04/2011 01:55:00 PM 942 Views
He definitely has a point about realistic expectations - 19/04/2011 01:56:49 PM 915 Views

I should have read this first. - 19/04/2011 02:25:16 PM 963 Views

The fact that you are referring to a fiancé and comparing it to wife says a lot - 19/04/2011 02:09:27 PM 1023 Views
To be fair, me and my fiance have been together for about as long as they have - 19/04/2011 02:57:03 PM 873 Views
I don't know about everyone but things changed when we got married - 19/04/2011 03:16:11 PM 915 Views
How did things change? - 19/04/2011 04:14:56 PM 929 Views
Like I said I can only speak for myself - 19/04/2011 04:54:04 PM 933 Views
There's already a 10 year old in the picture for us - 19/04/2011 06:52:44 PM 861 Views
My husband and I don't understand why people say this. - 20/04/2011 01:03:31 AM 972 Views
I did say I was only speaking for myself - 20/04/2011 01:58:45 PM 902 Views
I know. - 20/04/2011 09:01:11 PM 1136 Views
Sorry for some reason I thought you had just got married. - 20/04/2011 09:52:24 PM 1376 Views
Good luck to them! *NM* - 22/04/2011 04:25:38 AM 414 Views
From the information that you have presented... - 19/04/2011 03:50:19 PM 1067 Views
Could go either way. - 19/04/2011 04:36:02 PM 871 Views
I get the impression that it's more about her forming toward him than vice versa - 19/04/2011 06:56:37 PM 872 Views
Giving up is one thing, growing past is another. - 19/04/2011 10:00:55 PM 831 Views
Oh, to be fair, he's the friend and she's the wife - 20/04/2011 08:43:12 AM 799 Views
I don't necessarily think it will end in a breakup or divorce. - 19/04/2011 04:44:11 PM 860 Views
I think this is about priorities. - 20/04/2011 01:07:20 AM 1019 Views
Our priorities may shift over time, too. We're still very young and more tied to our families. - 20/04/2011 03:09:54 AM 862 Views
Even when younger, I was independent. - 20/04/2011 05:29:59 AM 766 Views

Not the former for sure, and maybe not the latter. - 19/04/2011 05:55:03 PM 917 Views
Can't tell. - 19/04/2011 10:04:27 PM 834 Views
I'm with the 'can't tell' crowd. - 19/04/2011 11:37:17 PM 1143 Views
hell, or she could just not care too much at all - 19/04/2011 11:43:21 PM 854 Views
I'm leaning more towards your interpretation. *NM* - 20/04/2011 02:15:22 AM 390 Views
I'm with you on this. *NM* - 20/04/2011 10:00:41 AM 439 Views
*sigh* - 20/04/2011 09:25:02 PM 977 Views
