About This Blog

Hi,
This blog, as the title indicates, is about marriage. A pretty hefty topic to cover right? One that has been covered time and time again by millions of books, psychologists, doctors, papers, thesises, opinions, whatever... You name it. The point is, it's been covered really thoroughly. Yet, somehow it is still a fucking mystery to me! Apparently, I'm not very good at it.

I hope to achieve a number of things by writing this blog and HOPEFULLY having others read it.
  • I'd really like this to be a therapeutic process for me. In short, I will use this blog to vent. For example, when I get into an argument with my wife, I will post a description of the argument and my feelings about said argument.
  • I'd like to get input from people in similar situations. Men AND Women. While I know for a fact that I am not the only one having marital problems, it would be nice to hear from others. Women!!! Chime in here... tell me where I'm wrong or right. Help me understand what goes on in your heads. What I'm trying to say is, Throw me a friggin bone!
  • Finally, I hope that this blog can help others in similar situations to deal with their marriage problems.
In writing this blog, I will use pretty strong language, because when I get emotional, that is how I talk. I will often talk ill of women in general, because at the moment, that is how I feel. Let me state for the record, that I am not chauvinistic at all. When I speak ill of women, it is because for one reason or another, my wife has struck a nerve that makes me hate... "hate" is too strong a word... makes me.... despise... no.... makes me less than enthusiastic about women in general. Much like when women say "all men are dogs". Not true right? However, some man has done something to that woman to evoke such a statement. Men have similar responses.

What am I looking for from you, the reader?
1st, I'm hoping that people actually find and read my blog. I think that it will have a lot to offer.
2nd, I'd really like people to respond. Both men AND women. Give me your thoughts! Women, I'm pretty sure you are going to see a lot of things on here that upset you. Keep in mind, nothing I say on this blog in any way is being said to elicit any sort of response. Everything I say are simply my feelings at the time.
3rd, I hope that you take something away from my blog that helps you cope with your marriage.

Finally, I want it to be a fun experience. I'll try to mix in some humor with my misery. Unfortunately, I won't be able to post any pictures of myself as my wife isn't aware of the fact that I'm writing this blog. Therefore, names will be changed and places will be modified.

My next entry will be an "About me" post.
