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

Been married for 21 years, mostly good, some not so good. 2 kids, 2dogs. I have a dedicated 2 channel room she has no interest in, however she does enjoy music. We have home theater in the family room, wife and kids enjoy this.
She has come to accept the fact that I am going to spend money on music and equipment. Acceptance has not been easy, but now she generally leaves me alone about it. Often the equipment is smuggled into the house, (all those black boxes look the same right?).
She is a keeper, no since in changing now. As they say if you're going to deal with the devil, might as well deal with the devil you know.
Cheers :>)
