I haven't thought that since we've been married but the first year that we were engaged, I can't say it didn't cross my mind somewhat frequently.
We were newly engaged, living together for the first time, I had started my first year of law school going to class from 9-5 and commuting from the burbs to the city and he was working a 3-11 shift that consistently had him working until 1AM with Wednesday and Thursday nights off. Needless to say we rarely saw each other, everything the other did was hitting a nerve, we were having zero sex and we had a giant fight at least once every two weeks.
There were many times when I thought about calling off our engagement that year or at least delaying the wedding further. I'm glad I didn't, obviously, but that was tough to go through especially after 5 years of dating in relative harmony.
agree.
I was raised by a single mom, and even though I have a great family and ha a great childhood I wouldn't want to do that to Teaghan.
SS here.
I've not thought about it, but we are hardly "soooooo happy" together. We have our fights and disagreements, but we're pretty good about resolving things. Our first year we had a HUGE knock-down drag-out fight. And I do remember saying "I want to go home." But that was more of a "I want my mom" kind of thing than an actual "I want to leave you" thing. It was our first fight of that magnitude (and I'm an emotional cripple to begin with) and I wasn't coping well with that fight. Since then we have improved drastically on our communication.
We do joke about getting a divorce all the time. That fight up there, we scared Buddy so bad that he hid under our bed and didn't come out for 4 hours. No matter the coaxing or cookies. So now, every time someone raises their voices (even laughing and having fun) he runs upstairs and hides. We usually say, "Ah, we're getting a divorce! Buddy says so!" or we'll call up the stairs after the dog, "It's okay, Buddy, we're not getting a divorce!" On one hand it's sad that our fight made him so scared/sensitive, but on the other hand, it's pretty funny.
Same here (minus the father part). We've had our share of fights (although, not nearly as bad as we did the first year we lived together), but never once have I considered leaving. We only had one fight, a few years ago, where I even questioned our realtionship. Never even come close to considering it since.
Congrats to both my TTC buddies, Amberley18 and sb2006 on their beautiful babies!
My Acme Box last update 3/28/11
I've never considered it.
Honestly, and this is probably going to sound like a lie, we don't really fight. We communicate really well and always find a way to get on the same page with things. We've never had a big blowout argument or held grudges. I don't know how we do it, but I'd say being able to talk through everything without anger has really helped us.
I'm honestly sort of waiting for the day we blow up at each other. I know that sounds dumb, but it's bound to happen.
