Please stay off politics.. It's a thin line, but let's stay on this side of it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

facade said:It all depends. Clearly you value those things so if my spouse felt similarly then I would be taking her for granted were I to do as you suggest. I would be saying hey thanks for all the wonderful things you do for me but its too much effort for me to do this to make you happy. However other people may be just as happy growing fat together. Therefore its not really about specifics, its about wanting to do what makes the other person happy.
HepKitty said:also worthy of note, that in the 40s women held MEN's jobs, even the dangerous ones. like the WASP pilots, they taught, they tested planes after repair, they pulled "trailers" so that the troops could have target practice... never mind the ground-based factory workers, welders, etc
so no nothing wrong with women working. but there is something wrong with men who think they don't have to do anything because women work now too

AmateisGal said:My husband has been very receptive to it. Of course, I think his fondness for Indiana Jones has something to do with it. I don't think I'll get him to wear a vintage suit, but he'll swing dance and wear a fedora.

Kiri said:Anyways. I've never dated, and don't plan on starting for a good while. I'd like to get married in my twenties, and I see no point in getting into a relationship while still in your teens. It just makes it harder to wait. In my way of thinking, that's one of the most important parts of your life, you're preparing to enter the adult world. I don't think it's just a time to laze around and goof off. If you spend your teenage years bucking responsibility, how the heck are you going to shoulder it throughout the rest of your life! Sorry, got slightly off topic there.

Now that we are in our 60's neither my wife nor I have hardly any of the same interests we had in our 20's but our values have remained constant over the course of our 38 year marriage.
And don't underestimate a good sense of humor.

Figure I'll be happy enough alone for the next few years.
