I think that is possible I noticed a huge diffrence in my back pain issues after I had major surgry on my lower abdomen. like the muscles were compensating. getting them to even back out is a struggle. I HATE CRUNCHES

If 1+1 only = 2; then by marriage you haven't gained anything. The whole sure as hell better be greater than the sum of the parts. If it is no more than equal than I expect the marraige is based more on weakness, insecurity & need than love, growth, fullfillment & common bonds. In that case overnight outings probably would be out of the question. A good relationship should not have to be defined by things like, leagal papers, terms, restrictions or demand. It should be muatually and collectively additive and expanding. Love is not restrictive, It makes you want your partner to be happy and fill their soul, even if it makes you face your own insecurities. I am a firm believer in individualism. you can bring more into a relationship. but you can not live FOR another person. I say that 1+1=2 because 1+1 can not equal 1. I think relationships that work do so because the two people involved want them to. I agree with every thing else you said

OKAY

you have been living here way too long

that is taking it a bit far, don't you think???

or just put power gels in the cups

Indeed. maybe it realy works??? ever tried it?

I smell a million dollar opportunity: Starbucks, Jr. We could serve them espressos in little animal shaped cups! AWESOME and stunt their growth????

trask knows how to treat a lady

People often imagine that their marriage partner will meet EVERY need. That's an unrealistic expectation. You're not carbon copies and will have some seperate interersts - that's cool - as you can each learn something, and maintain friendships outside the marriage. That's healthy. It's the art of the relationship. I knew my point was not direct enough. sorry. Point being, I like to be outside. I want to be involved with some one wholikes to be outside too. That doesn't mean we always have to be outside together. each should have their own frinds and individual activities. BECAUSE that is what makes a realtionship whole. 1+1 =2

"On and off"? She's using manipulative phrases to get you to do these things? Dude, uh, maybe you should re-think what you are about to do. Granted, it might be a good idea to find a common interest that you could share on some interval, but don't buy into the "you should be happy to spend you day with me" bullshit. It sounds like she doesn't understand boundaries and what Kitten mentioned about guys needing time to be out and be guys and shit. Have a good, long talk with your babe...and keep that ring at the back of your sock drawer until you do. I agree with Greg on this one Ryland, well for the most part any ways... Its all about compromise, I spend 80% of my after work and weekend time with the bros doin the same thing huntin, fishin, climbin, hikin, golfin, what ever. the wife gets to do her own thing, everyones happy... on our days of spending the whole day together, half of the time we do her thing, and half the time we do mine. We go out and have ourselves a nice little sun day at home depot, and maybe if we get time we cruse on over to bed, bath, and beyond; Why? Cause it makes her happy... And cause it makes me happy when she raps the water falls with me or goes backpacking for the weekend... why not marry someone who likes to do the same things??/ Personaly I HATE TO SHOP, and would much rather hike or climb or camp or even go hunting. And I wont marry someone who doesn't want to do those things too.

It sounds like you are advocating serial monogamy. Yes? the term sounds a little new agey...but I don't think love is absolute. It grows and changes just like people do. Face it - marriage is a MAN made institution and a little out moded today. true, but it can work for some people. You just have to be clear about your intentions

LOL I LOVE THAT MOVIE

It sounds like you are advocating serial monogamy. Yes? nothing wrong with that

I didn't know you were an ice climber. I haven't learnd yet

dang necro, how'd you get that picture of me???

sound like both you and your partner are persnickety as all hell. transferring the whole rack to and from someones harness increases the odds of dropping something. and it takes longer. just ask the fucker to show up at your belay with the gear --all the gear: from his harness and cleaned-- on a sling so its ready to rerack. my petpeeve is my partner arriving at the belay to hand me a cluster of webbing and gear expected me to sort the mess they made. note to self, don't climb with Lummox BTW I am getting better, at not making such a mess of the clean
