how many have a WAF?

WAF meaning if wife(fiance) can/can't tolerate YOU/US...?

Anyone you ask "how many" usually will unswer "2 of us are married here" otherwise it's not a legal marriage rather than polygamy or some other abnormal situation.

For those who're not happy being married or having regrets, I would strongly recommend first to kill regrets and than try to bring a happiness back as hard as you can. If you cannot do it yourself please consult a proper specialist(psychologist).

Tim, If you're realy interested about family situation(s) there are plenty of books about family psychology that you could research and even get an independed-study credit in the college or university:)

I've been married, most of the time happily, for 15 years. Two children, a dog & a cat. I wouldn't have it any other way. Before I was married there was something missing that couldn't be replaced with hot rods, Harleys, all night partying, etc. I worked in a rock band for awhile & have lots of fun memories but always went home to a dark house. Sure, nobody else to complain about _______ but conversely nobody to share your day with either.

Speaking of sunshine, if everyday was sunny you'd be in a desert.

Tim, it sounds like you've had a "countdown" going on? And if you're both happy with your freedom(s), that's what is important.

I'll have been married 37 years (in June)-- some of them good too! Regrets? sometimes-- you bet. But on balance, I like being married, although at times, I've wished it was too someone else. As far as WAF is concerned, I have my own semi-dedicated listening room, and I can pretty much do anything I want in there-- well, at least with audio equipment.

Three things that have made our marriage "work" are 1. we've had separate incomes and separate checking accounts for years-- with a separate household account that we both pay into. This approach has largely eliminated fights about money (and no, we're by no means rich-- we've both just worked all our lives). 2. As noted, I have a semi-dedicated listening room where I can do what I want. My wife agreed to this and even helped me pay for the re-modeling needed, so I guess that makes her a "keeper". And finally 3. She has little or nothing to do with my audio system(s);>) This is a success story of sorts, IMO;>). Cheers. Craig
