    Re: Uncommon Opinions

    I get what GMSS is saying. Although, marriage isn't ALL about doing stuff that you don't want to do, but it's part of it.

    I didn't necessarily want to go out to dinner last night with my wife family, but I did. I don't really want to go to church after work today, but I will. I don't really want to host Christmas for my in-laws, but it is what it is.

    That's just three days of marriage this week and as they say a happy wife is a happy life. I'm sure there's plenty of stuff that I do or have done that my wife didn't really want to do either. Just like when we go on vacation I don't really care about going shopping, but I do and my wife doesn't care about doing physical activities like biking or zip lining, etc, but she does. It's all about compromise and you do it because you're married and you want to make your spouse happy.

    Honestly, I do actually like my wife's family, but I don't really care to do stuff (like visit them or have them visit us) for longer than 3-4 hours. With that said I don't like to do anything whether it's watching TV, playing video games, etc for 3-4 hours at a time. I guess I should be thankful that my in-laws live almost an hour away and stuff like this only comes about every once in a while, like holidays, birthdays, etc.

      I guess you can view it that way. I see it as doing something with my wife that will make her happy, and I want to make her happy. Insofacto, I do want to do those things.

        Also, there are 2 people in the relationship....if you never do things they want to do then you're completely selfish.

        IMO it's give and take. Sure, sometimes I do things I'm not that into, but if she loves it I don't really mind. She puts up with stuff I want to do as well...

        For bigger issues/things if I really feel against it we'll talk and sometimes get mad...we work it out and it happens. That communication is key, otherwise you harbor horrible feelings/issues that blow up in the future.

        Both people in the relationship should be giving...if that's not happening then there's more going on (she needs to give you some love sometimes too).

        Then with kids you do stuff that you may not want cause it makes them happy...those smiles are more than worth it IMO.

          Going shopping together = worst experience EVER

          Men go to the store, knowing what we want and if we don't know where it is, we'll ask a clerk, find it, buy it and leave ASAP.

          Women?
          They'll walk up and down every single aisle touching everything in site. You'll be in the store for an hour and end up buying more than what you went there for.

            I have a coworker that I go get breakfast/coffee with every day. Every day she looks at the quiche, examines it, asks what's in it, and deliberates for 2-3 minutes on whether she wants it or not. If she buys it, I'll get an IM 10 minutes later telling me why she didn't like it. If she passes on it, I'll get an IM 10 minutes later telling me that she's hungry and wishes she would have bought it. Every.single.day

              I guess I'm not that uncommon then because I think Christmas is still awesome. I miss when I was a kid during it. It was so magical. But I get so excited for my kids. We lay out the bookies, listen to a Polar Express book CD and track Santa on the NORAD Santa Tracker app.

                Other than Elf and Polar Express, I can't think of a single Christmas movie I like.

                      Polar Express creeps me out for some reason. Frosty the Snowmen and Muppet Christmas Carol is the ****, showed that my class on the last day before break.

                      Elf is still my favorite holiday movie tho

                        Bad Santa is a good one.

                        But no, I'm not a fan of Christmas vacation or A Christmas Story or any of those. I'll watch if someone puts them on but given a choice, never.

                              Halloween sucks. I never understood the appeal.

                              Christmas is where it's at. I'm going to be disappointed when it's all over tomorrow. Then I'm just some weirdo with a tree in my living room on the 26th of December.

                                Y'all tripping: Candy is on sale, chics dress like sluts (and being a pervert is acceptable), parties, scaring people as they trick or treat or take their kids trick or treating.

                                I can never wait for Christmas to pass. Outside of the food, it's an annoying holiday. People/stores forget Christmas music isn't the only type of music that can be played after thanksgiving, people (women) don't know how to act while shopping, it's cold, my bank account suffers.

                                I'll put New Year's as more annoying than Christmas. I'll never understand the big deal. Nothing changes from December 31st 11:59 pm to January 1st 12 am.
