s/o i feel like ML would not be surprised if i got divorced.

isn't that weird?!?!? between all of the church stuff, living arrangements stuff, dsd stuff, inlaws stuff that i vent about, i feel like you guys would be like "about effing time!!" if i ever announced that we were splitting.

Re: s/o i feel like ML would not be surprised if i got divorced.

  • Eh, I don't know if I would be "its about time," but you do put up with a lot and its admirable.

     I think a lot of us feel like no one likes our DHs. Let's face it, we don't always portray them in the best possible light.

  • I would be surprised! Well, about as surprised as I'd be about any nestie getting a divorce.
  • No.  No no no no.  You are nowhere even near the list I have in my head.

  • I'd be surprised. You seem to complain more about your situation (church, sd, etc) than you do about your husband. I don't really get the sense that you guys aren't in it together
    hi.
  • nah. i don't think that about you at all.

  • I would be surprised at most MLers if they announced a divorce. There are very, very few that I would be like, ?well, I saw that one coming...

  • You are nowhere near my list of "nesties whose split up would not shock me."

    As someone else here said, we all put up with things in our relationships that otheres here would WTF about.  Doesn't mean they are not otherwise great partners.

  • I would be surprised. We all put up with a lot, but there are people that I don't feel are dealing well with those issues and those are the potential divorces that did not surprise me.

    Totally would not think that about you, Frkls!
    I like privacy. A lot.
  • I have always thought you had a good relationship so I would be shocked. And I am a avid reader of your posts so I don't think I would miss something lol.

    I agree. There's a difference.

    I totally agree with this.  You guys seem solid, even if some circumstances are challenging. 

  • oh good. :)  i feel like i sound more unhappy on here than i am in real life sometimes. LOL!  my h is still dreamy.  i promise!

  • I would be surprised... I think you just seem real... and congrats on the 25 pounds.. that's awesome!
  •  I fantasize sometimes about winning the lottery and immediately asking my husband for a divorce. Is that bad?
  • Perhaps.  Not to the degree of earrings under the bed and whatnot, but it does seem like a lot of hassle for very little reward.

    I'd play sad, "oh damn, I really did love you but the circumstances of life did us in" music for you instead of GnR.

    How many Nest dollars to move this list from your head to this post?

  • blue, I wouldn't say bad so much as sad. :( 

    And Freckles, I'd be very surprised. However, I think your situation is tough putting aside any marital differences. Just being the wife of a pastor is more than I can imagine having to deal with. Talk about living in a fish bowl with people just waiting to pounce and judge. My aunt is a pastor's wife so I hear a lot about how hard it can be.

    I love you to death, Kuus, but I am fairly confident that no man is good enough for any ML'er in your eyes. I don't know that I have heard a glowing endorsement for any of them from you yet!  :-)

  • nah.  as a fellow complainer, i know the difference between someone who just likes to get it out there sometimes, and someone whose in a bad spot.  you seem like the former, not the later.

     

    also, i'm with fenton.

    kiss it, nest.
  • I've never thought this about you frkls.

    Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
  • Really? I can think of a few who would not totally surprise me, and you are nowhere near it.

  • I would be shocked.
    Shot first, questions later.
  • I would not say "about effing time" but I would not exactly be shocked. I wouldn't really be shocked if anyone here did. Marriage is hard.

    To be fair, I don't think there's anything wrong with Pastor Frkls.  I just think the situation with the ex-wife is way too much stress on top of everything being a pastor's wife entails, such that I wouldn't be too shocked if even the best marriages couldn't withstand it permanently.

    And I did give Mr. Tamb with all his melodramatic weirdness my stamp of approval.

    I try to come up with witty things to say, then I get distracted by that ridiculously cute pic you have there :-)

    Reminds me of the joke:

    Man gets home, his wife is hopping up and down. "Ralph! Pack your bags! We won the lottery!".   Ralph replies "OMG! Where are we going?" Wife says "I don't know where YOU'RE going; just get out".
