Its hard waiting for the end of the semester, and things get back to normal. Until next semester.

Oh yes, extremely hard ha ha but I know that adding to her stress level will only make things worse. The best thing I can do for her and I is to let it roll and try to be a supportive and understanding fiancé that she needs right now

My wife is happy that I am doing all the cooking. I grew up in my grandma's restaurant so I have been cooking since I was 10. I try to make her something that she loves at least once a week and if that means cooking fish (I HATE THE SMELL OF COOKED SEAFOOD) then I do it for her. You know if you have asked me 5 years ago if you were married and didn't have sex for over a month what would you do My answer without hesitation would be LEAVE. Funny how we grow up.

Ain't that the truth?

It's amazing what you learn to accept, what you get accustomed to.

We've had our dry spells, all couples do. I've been with hubby for 19 years, heck, if we didn't have problems I'd be surprised.

The key is getting through the tough times, they never last forever. In the end your relationship will be stronger because you hung in.

Wow, that sounds so grown up. What the heck is happening to me? ;)

EXACTLY! That really is too funny. That was my answer too, people would say "once you get married, sex is gone" I would say "and so would I be."

I can't cook at all, but I am a good coffee maker. I try to start her morning off right everyday, I get her food ready and also pour her coffee as well as get the girls food done for her.

Ha ha! I know, I'm 22 and I'm realizing that a relationship isn't always rainbows and butterflies, you have to work for it. Sometimes it's going to rain and when you think it can't get any worse, it rains harder, but I'll still stand through the rain because I know she's worth it.

You're only 22! Wow! I put you at late 20's early 30's, you've got a good head on your shoulders for 22.

Oops, now all the 22 year olds are going to give me crap. Bring it on! :D

Ha ha! I've been through a lot in my short amount of years that forced my hands at growing up quicker than most. I had a life threatening disease when I was 12 and when I pulled through, I knew I needed to live life to the fullest and not waste time. That became my driving force behind setting goals and accomplishing them quickly. Then at 17, I lost my best friend in a car accident, and just compounded my belief that life is short. So I have a career, a wonderful fiancé and 2 great kid(well step kids but I don't see them that way)

Because you love them they are your kids. I believe there's much more to being a parent then just supplying the DNA. :)

I too grew up pretty quick because of crap that happened. I didn't have a life threatening disease, just a lot of really bad life altering events. I really could have turned out a lot differently, somehow I found my way here and I like it.

I often wonder what kind of person I'd be if I hadn't suffered through the things in my past. Better? Worse? I guess I'll never know. You play the cards your dealt, and I play to win! :)

Your kids are lucky to have you, so is your fiancé. You'll get through this, because you want to. It really is as simple as that. Go figure. ;)

Ha ha I know! Alten you made things so much better, you're right if you want to get through something, you will. How is it that simple lol

It just is. :cool:

Now you have the key to life, use it wisely grasshopper! :D

Geez, Rome now you have jinxed me. My wife read this darn rant and she is withholding sex until I draw her a nice bath, cook her a nice meal, massage her feet... and take out the garbage!! Now what? Should I just leave??

Too late, she locked the front door, is the window a good option?

We settled things, how do I look in this apron??

Pictures! I want pictures! :D

I guess this discussion has already gone in another direction.

But I wanted to say a few things. First off, you're doing really well Rome. The fact that she texts you by acknowledging that you are in deed very patient with her is a very good sign. Just keep supporting her.

I'm not sure how much longer she has until she graduates, but this is one of the reasons strict parents tell us not to date while we're still in school. School takes up a lot of time and some people also have to work to keep up with bills. This is the decision that the two of you made. You believe that you will find a balance, but you should also be aware that some things, especially school has to take priority.

I know it sucks that you don't get to spend time together, but it will get better. Why don't you meet her during her lunch breaks on the weekends?

I am planning on meeting her for lunch breaks this coming weekend and also have a lot of work to do on her Jeep. Her muffler was messed up by her ex before we met and I am finally going to fix it since we have some nice weather and I got a welder.


Also Tal, the window would have been a good option! I bet the apron looks great on you! Tell me it's flower print too!

I've got a few aprons that I think would suit Tal. Take your pick Tal. :)
