So the score is 7-7 Vikings and Greenbay. I'm imprisioned by the game thanks to my spouse. But, here's the thing that crossed my mind. Brett was practically married to the Packers for almost 20 years. And then rather than being the widower and letting his career die gracefully, no he off and divorces the team, and wanders on to another woman. That woman being the Jets. That relationship didn't work out, so he starts sleeping with the Vikings. Ok so why this poor analogy? Why I think about relationships that go arye after so many good years together. You think everything is solid, and functional and suddenly without warning.
Here's the deal. Not even a year into my new marriage, I wanted out because it was just so dysfunctional. I was unbelieveably unhappy and crying daily, and to make matters worse , my spouse was mentally, physically, and emotional cruel and completely detached from our relationship. I'm like what the hell? Not like I didn't see it coming, you do realize like I'd mentioned before the passionless proposal. But, now living with him made me realized how much I really wasn't ready for marriage with the wrong guy. Maybe I'd been a bit unrealistic looking at other marriages thinking they were perfect and they resolved their problems easily, and everything had a Heathcliff and Clare Huxable ending. No my dear. That's not reality. Not all your problems are solved in 30 minutes. It should come as not surprise when a marriage falls apart, because things are always brewing. Relationships are always transparent. Both parties always know and sense whats going on. At some point someone gives away their genuine feelings about the other.
Well, we went through divorce proceedings, I mean made several court hearings, motions after motions. He moved out, more like forced out, it just got so ugly that it seemed like no point of return. But here we are still married. Why???? Just like Brett Favre the price was right. As in its cheaper to keep her. Basically why fight when you can keep the woman without the fuss, cost, and grief. Do I think he loves me? PFFF!!!! Hell no, but I tolerate him, and he me.
Tip:
Marriage takes alot of work. And some cases it takes alot of money. If you want to keep your money, and spare yourself some grief and heart ache, keep your mouth shut. Many relationships would go really far if they just didn't say things to try to hurt each other. Whats the point? Lets say, you're just not into the relationship anymore, then why argue. What could they possibly say to get under your skin if you just don't care about them anyway. Now, if you do care about your spouse, lets stop and think about what it is we say to hurt them as they hurt you. Ladies ever notice after a huge fight guys tend to act like nothing ever happened, and that pisses us off even more, and then we fight more because they didn't ackowledge our feelings? Well, get over it. Keep your mouth shut. Look let me put it to you like this. Its much easier to let it go, than to harp on it. Guys if you know you're wife is upset, seriously don't act like her feelings mean nothing to you. Simply apologize and tell her how much her feelings mean to you, and trust me it will be over. Do a nice gesture to show you're sincere and its over very quickly.
