Year 1- I'm sure your used to banging like rabbits and this will continue throughout your first yr. Enjoy it while you can.

Year 2- Decisions have to be made. You both need to decide when to have kids(if you can tolerate them to have them). Thats if you didn't get married cause she's already pregnant. lol. The earlier you have kids the earlier in life you can possibly retire and start cruisinig the world. The later you have kids the longer it seems somewhat of a life will ever return. In other words you don't want to be 60 or 70 when your free of kids and can't enjoy life cause you can't get around very well anymore.

Year 3- because either she or both of you are so busy taking care of kids your to tired for relations. All you want is to get the most sleep you can before you have to get up for work the next day. Basically.... relations starts to fade and you might see it once twice a week.

Year 4- God for bid little GMScud gets raised all alone, now your having your second child. The courtship is over. Both of you are too tired for movies, dance clubs, or staying up late to watch your favorite sport. A nice dinner is out also cause the kids love to cry during it so ordering take home is your new friend. Relations are now once a week. Somewhere during this time you will not have time to hang out with your single friends so your life has become exclusive unless you find other couples who have kids the same age to let them play while you hang out and talk. Once and a while you can watch each others kids so you can get a night out with out the kids once and a while.

Year 5- If you can survive this last yr for which most couples leave each other your doing well. You might even say "I'm not going to be the statistic". Relations might now be reserved to weekends only by now. You might not even be seeing it for 2 weeks at a time due to weekend commitments.

Year 6- Congrats. Your not a statistic. As the yrs pass and you both get older all the fun stuff like hanging from the ceiling fan is too much work. Now it's just get it over with as fast as you can. God forbid the kids catch you or hear you. It doesn't matter where you go.... they will find you. After the kids go to sleep and before you do is your new best friend.... quick and quiet.

Unfortunatly I even have a lady I work with who totally believes her and her husband are both content with out it. The simple answer.... they both are just too damn tired for that and all they want to do is simply come home from work and rest.

I know I know, it seems completely unreal. I must be making it up. It sounds horrid. Unfortunalty I'm not. Also it doesn't matter if you say...."this is not going to happen to us" cause eventually it does. Wait..... I stand corrected, you might be the 1% that it doesn't happen to.

I'm totally sorry if I burst your bubble. I take pride in handing out the reality and enjoying laughing at those who say they are getting married or have just gotten married. See you guys are the ones we long time married people get to laugh at and we all get to look up to those who have lasted 30yrs or more.

Again welcome to the fraternity.

Wow. Sorry your life sucks.

I just started typing a long, drawn out, defensive response to this post, and then I just decided to delete it. Like Saden pointed out, she and I have been together 7 years. We know what we're doing. I don't need to justify anything else to you.

LOL. Hell yeah man. My wife and I had been together ten years before we got married. We're working on year three and we "had relations", as SBXVII so eloquently put it, in the Disney parking lot in the car this year. Things only get stale when YOU decide it does. It's gonna' be great man. Enjoy it.

Haha nice. Yeah, our "relations" are better now than they've ever been. That's gotta be a good sign moving forward. As you age and have kids, I'm sure there's some degree of a drop off, but like you said, it only goes stale if you let it.

Let me say this from someone who is 28 and has no kids yet... DO NOT RUSH IT. There's no set plan for when you're supposed to have kids, it just happens when you're ready. Right now my wife and I know that we have a lot we want to do before those little shits come around (). Every single one of my friends with kids sometimes get black-balled from events because they HAVE kids.

Yeah we're not in a rush. I'm 31, she's 28 this year. We're AT LEAST 2 years away. We're looking to buy a house pretty soon, and we both have some traveling/career stuff we want to do first as well. 30 is the new 20, right? We've got time. My closest friend has an 18 month old, his wife is preggers again, plus he has two dogs, and they are both working full time. He's swamped at all times. He loves it, and it's what he's always wanted, so good for him. But I couldn't deal with that right now.

Agreed, hell I'm going on 38 with no kids. We're just enjoying life and doing what we want. She's 5 years younger than me so we've got time. Perhaps in the next couple of years.

Yeah it does...his life that is.

I've been married 8 years, we have a kid...my life is thankfully nothing like his.

Perhaps his lack of "relations" is more of a personal issue than a problem with marriage in general.



CONGRATS, GMSCUD.
