A TOO-GOOD Marriage/Relationship?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

HUH?  That’s what I said when I say the heading of this article!  Now, you can have a too-perfect marriage/relationship.  I know not anything is perfect, but when you have something good… Why try and ruin it and make an article about being too happy! CRAZY!

The Article:
You’re the perfect couple, people say — so in sync, you never fight. Or they marvel at how you’re always together 24/7, or how you’ve got a super marriage (the Big Careers, the beautiful house, the great family). Relationship experts  asked whether there might be trouble in paradise.

The No-Argument Couple
By not fighting, you’re not engaging each other and that may be due to a fear of intimacy. These relationships can last a long time while you function well as parents without any hint of problems, but you often become more buddies than lovers. “It’s a category we call the parallel marriage,”  which tends to turn flat and colorless.

The Attached-at-the-Hip Couple
By all accounts, you get along famously. But “fused” pairs,  may harbor a fear of separation and can blend together with such strong dependence that they lack any kind of individual identity.This is especially true when you’re with each other to the exclusion of everyone else. “One partner can end up feeling trapped, smothered by the relationship, and that they can’t possibly express a need for independence without the other feeling totally betrayed,”  “So they stay and then suddenly they can’t tolerate it and they’re gone.” One warning sign of a split is a mate who seems newly distracted or “just not there anymore.”

The Two Mega-Paycheck Couple
Ultrabusy partners “need to schedule time together — set it aside, have it weekly — in a way that both are declaring that they hold their relationship precious and are giving it priority,” Love requires nurturing.  You should have at least five times as many positive moments together as negative if your relationship is to be stable. Translation: Just don’t forget to have a good time.

I thought this article was interesting and wanted to share!!!!

Panty Phenomenon

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Today on the show a gal wrote in to Jesse saying that her boyfriend and her were moving into their new apartment together over the weekend and she came across a box full of panties.  NO, they were not her panties…. IT WAS HIS COLLECTION OF PANTIES!

First thought….. WEIRDO!  Second thought…. GROSS!  Anyways, he proceeds to tell her that they were memorabilia.  Oh yeah!  He said it Memorabilia.  He then tells her that he is not going to get rid of this Box ‘O Fun unless she gets rid of all of her pictures of her exes and scrap books ETC……

I about rolled out of my chair!  YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!  Pictures are WAY different than a BOX of Panties.  I mean seriously… what kind of chick just gives away her panties, anyways?  Probably not the kind of chick you should be keeping in a memorabilia box.  I am just saying… THIS IS GROSS AND WRONG!

 I know a lot of women called in and didn’t agree with me and said that it was the past and women like me are insecure  and that we just let guys be guys….BUT, I would much rather see pictures and the faces of these women in a box than their PANTIES!

Working on Being a “GREAT” Fiance!

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

The past couple weeks I have really been trying to be a better fiance.  I have been trying to compromise and do more around the house since Jesse brought up that I basically do NOTHING for my fiance.  I am the first to admit that since Tyson and I have been together he has taken the role of cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning.  Not because I asked him to, but because I think he truly enjoys it. 

He loves to cook!  He has told me numerous times that I am not allowed in the kitchen.  I know how to make Easy Mac and Popcorn.  I can even burn both of those on occasion.  I clean on the weekends, but Tyson is anal and wants everything spick and span all of the time.  He always says he is picking up after me, but in the same breath he is the guy that when I am eating dinner and put my fork down I am done and it needs to be in the dishwasher immediately.  He is also that guy that yells at me for leaving the toliet seat up…. Yeah, that is right I get yelled at for leaving the hood of the toliet seat up. 

So, after Jesse pointed out all of my flaws and how TERRIBLE of a fiance that I am……..I decided that I would start helping out more around the house.  So, I told Tyson that I would cook on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s.  The other night I start to attempt to cook Italian Meatballs with Mozzerella in the middle with sauce over them. I get about 5 minutes into it and he is helping me and telling me what I am doing wrong and proceeds to just take over.  He says why don’t you just go sit down and relax.  I CAN TAKE CARE OF THE COOKING!   Not sure if that means I don’t EVER have to do it again or not? 

I have been cleaning up after myself putting my dishes away, picking up my make-up, doing my own laundry, and everything that I can possibly do EVEN putting the toliet seat down.  I gotta tell you….I think my fiance is about to have a heart-attack.  He asks me everyday if I am okay?  HAHA!

I think that I am finally turning into that “great” fiance that I should be for my man and I just want to thank Jesse for making me a better person!   

I AM SOOOO NOT HIGH MAINTENCE!
