Has your life gotten better or worse since Marriage?

Not better or worse - just different. But I'm divorced from a woman who is a loon and I have to deal with her because our daughter lives with me and I have to take her to visit her mom on occasion.

I'll admit that I was an irresponsible idiot before I got married and that being married and having a daughter forced me to become settled and responsible. I guess that's good. :confused:
 
I find it hard to think of my life either better or worse since meeting my wife over twenty years ago. We have been married for almost eight years now (took us awhile), raised a son (he just turned twenty today), and even though there have been lots of ups and downs, I truly can't imagine my life without her. She is my greatest fan, my best critic, my sometimes roadie, my gourmet chef, my confidant, my favorite nurse (when am I not getting hurt in some stupid way?), my shoulder to cry on, my anger management, my lover, and most of all, my best friend.

Is my life better with A.J. keeping her eye on me? I don't know, but it would be a heck of a lot worse without her now that I know what I have. Thank you Baby Doll, I love you.
 
Things have not been perfect. Since I met and married my wife 20 years ago (we knew each other for 2 months when we married), we have had our rough spots. But she has given me two beautiful children, been a good wife and mother, and the best friend I have ever had. We are very happy, and are looking forward to getting old together.:cool: So, all in all, my life has gotten better.
 
My life has gotten 100 times better with marriage. I waited for this woman and when she finally said I do, she meant it. She's a great mother, a great wife, a great cook, and she puts up with all my band juggling and musical stupidity. I guess it helps that she's a musician herself but I attribute it to the fact that she just loves me unconditionally.

I couldn't be happier and I honestly mean that when I say it. One day my wife and I figure that we'll fight over something, just not sure what. We tried once to get it over with, kinda funny. Guys that take off their rings in bars make me sick and I see it all the time.

Without her I'd probably spontaneously combust or turn into a pile of goo.

I know what you mean. It took an entire 2 years for us to actually have a decent argument. Even today we never go to bed angry at each other and even with kids, she still goes out of her way to do the little things that make me happy.
 
Well I'll be one to say that arriage DID NOT make my life any better. Then again, I probably shouldnt have gotten married in the first place.

DIVORCE has made my life a million times better. Ok, well seperation, I finally have money to file now that my tax return has come in.

Since getting divorced life has been great. Being single was great, doing whatever I wanted and all that jazz. Now Im dating the most amazing girl ever.
