Hey Mark!

How is Joy feeling?

jtmh2012

She's doing well.  Tired a lot.  Still working.

jjbmstinco

Its getting close!

jtmh2012

33 wks tomorrow.

Jean9ds

Ahh so we're hanging out in here? :P

jjbmstinco

I am both places.  Michelle and I are chatting on TB.  Mark and I (now you!) are here.

Jean9ds

Sounds good! I'm just here watching the new Grey's Anatomy while eating hamburger helper and drinking a cream soda. Jared still isn't home. He called at 5:15pm saying he was stopping by the rec room at work to play "a couple rounds" of Super Street Fighter (arcade fighting game) with a coworker. 2.5 hours later, he's still there haha. 

jjbmstinco

Its always ncie to have an night to yourself!

Jean9ds

It is! It's nice and relaxing I love relaxing evenings. What you up to? :P

jjbmstinco

J and I are sitting here playing cards.  We aren't really getting along tonight, so hoping some healthy competition will help.  Otherwise not much.  Talking (read-complaining) to Michelle online.

Jean9ds

aww I'm sorry. What card game? Arguing about something in particular? Or was it just one of those days

jjbmstinco

We are playing Kings Corner.  

We are arguing about the one thing we almost always argue about...Sex.  One of us has a higher drive than the other.  The other is a lot more traditional while the other one isn't.  sigh....

While I am happy I never had to worry about getting PG or STI/D...I sure with I got to explore some other options before marriage.

I guess this just turned into FFC thread here... 

Jean9ds

I totally understand. You're not going to get any flaming from me whatsoever. Sex is a hard thing to argue about. And not something that is easy to get to a "happy middle compromise" about. I wish I had more insight/help/guidance.

I didn't realize until now, but I am watching a rugrats marathon with my kids.

jjbmstinco

Its all good.  It is really hard and no one told me that.  So I am still in amazment that it isn't all ponies and rainbows. 

What do you and I argue about?

Jean9ds

I don't know about argue, but we do most often disagree about saving/spending. It feels like as soon as I feel comfortable with how much we're saving, he feels too comfortable and is ready for the next "investment" haha. Like he's been wanting a new computer since earlier this year, but it's a mac. And definitely an investment. And I want to save more, always. So we just keep having to readdress each new investment as it comes up. It's a constant conversation

jjbmstinco

oh ya. We have that discussion but I usually win. 

Jean9ds

Haha same! We keep re-evaluating and the one who doesn't want to spend that much money (me) usually wins. Of course that's for the big ticket items, not every single purchase haha. Definitely a "pick your battles" situation $200 and under? We easily come into agreement. Over $200? I don't like seeing money leave our account haha

Welcome to my world.....:(  Although, I did get to explore.  I was tricked walking into marriage.

jjbmstinco

AWw Sorry Mark.  

last night lead to a whole discussion about my life and how I feel like I am defeated.  I ugly cried about the mc again because I feel like I am alone in that battle. WOOP WOOP its going to get better. It can't get worse.

Jen - more hugs! Sorry I didn't get back on FB last night. Ended up doing movie night with P. We actually watched a movie.

To chime in on this discussion. I wish I had explored more before settling down with P. I was actually looking more for fun when I met P. I didn't realize we would end up here when we first met. Not that I mind. Only having a few partners and not exploring as much P still isn't the best I've ever had. I won't ever tell him that but I do think it plays into whether I am in the mood sometimes. If that makes sense.

Our biggest arguments are sex and parenting issues. He complains he doesn't get enough sex and I ask him to have more patience in the kid area.

ImperiumWife

Our biggest argument is usually something that is second hand- someone else starts a discussion, and we disagree over it.

Ironically, I don't feel like I missed the opportunity to play around, even though I was only with one other person besides j. I think we've been so open about sex throughout our entire relationship that I doubt that I would even be compatible with someone else. But I can get why some of you would feel that way.

ImperiumWife

Oh, and I was laying around being all squinty.
