In our house, my husband has the last word...but sometimes we discuss things for years before it comes down to the "last word."Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-72505987719479648252008-03-15T10:49:00.000-06:002008-03-15T10:49:00.000-06:00If you knew what you know now, would you have marr...If you knew what you know now, would you have married your husband? I love my boyfriend so much and think we could actually work out. But the thing that scares me is that he buys things constantly and doesn't get rid of things. He's at his storage locker right now. I'm a minimalist at heart. <BR/><BR/>We don't live together and I fear that he would drive me batty if we did. And yet, I still want to-- and I could imagine us being happy together for the rest of our lives.<BR/><BR/>What's your perspective?J-fer Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912815972910179998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-88112089358886285442008-03-14T21:23:00.000-06:002008-03-14T21:23:00.000-06:00Offensive?Good grief, not at all.

It would take more than a difference of perspective to offend me--I just didn't understand the passion you expressed about the differences. Of course, it could have been my interpretation of what you may have meant by "excitement." My mind is never very far away from the gutter, unfortunately.<BR/><BR/>As for submission, yeah, I think I ought. I'm not very good at it, though.Alana in Canadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08440969357242099169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7996566617043488147.post-12593928863346184872008-03-14T20:19:00.000-06:002008-03-14T20:19:00.000-06:00Uh oh!
