Not having to worry about anyone but me Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 01/12/2011 08:49:43 PM
My weekends happen on Friday and Saturday, and so as the end of the day nears, (YAY!) I have been contemplating my activities for this week. The most likely option is sitting in front of my TV and getting in the long-term Skyrim playing session I have been itching for since I bought the thing, but then part of me considered:

In May, I will be married. What will I want to do but be unable to do then that I could be doing now? With Rose in another state I am effectively a single guy, after all.

I'm not talking about dating, sex, or anything like that (this comment put in exclusively for Urza's benefit) but rather fun, silly, single person stuff that is harder to pull off when you have to take someone else's happiness into account.

My brother said that sitting on a couch all day playing Skyrim counts... apparently wives want attention, occasionally. But what else?


Like not caring if I didn't get the dishes washed because it didn't bother me to leave them until morning. Or not caring enough about feeding myself to muster up anything more than cold cereal or a bag of Doritos for dinner.

And wives (like people) are all different. Yours might not mind your occasional marathon Skyrim sessions. But then she might have whole other issues that you can't anticipate. Like she might hate you wearing jeans. You'll just have to figure it out together
If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.
