Great. I have none

gupton68.bsky.social•36 days ago

Can’t be disappointed that way!

aberryhill.bsky.social•36 days ago

Agree. Just let each other be who they are. Stop expecting something else.

treeservant.bsky.social•36 days ago

Exactly. Just the other day said “your estimates of return time are notoriously unreliable, so just roll in whenever”

aberryhill.bsky.social•36 days ago

😂💯

I tell people the reason my relationship lasted nearly 20 years is because we never lived together and didn't share a bathroom.

gupton68.bsky.social•36 days ago

Good advice is good advice 👍

rowyourbot.bsky.social•35 days ago

Works for me.

celeste6677.bsky.social•35 days ago

Knowing is half the battle

ravenswng.bsky.social•36 days ago

Under promise, over deliver = can’t lose

gupton68.bsky.social•36 days ago

💯 😂

This is a well known fact.

wayneclifford.bsky.social•36 days ago

And a lot of that bacon popsicle!

Sometimes you have to love people for who they are no matter how bad of a lover they may be.

amberkitty.bsky.social•36 days ago

I really can’t argue with that

gupton68.bsky.social•36 days ago

IKR 🤷‍♂️

Don't give her shit about the dumb things she does, just tolerate and accept them as part of her character. She does the same thing for you.

Sounds right

gupton68.bsky.social•35 days ago

dhunsber.bsky.social•36 days ago

Must be true. My wife has fifty-four years of me to prove that point.

gupton68.bsky.social•36 days ago

Congratulations 🙌

That tracks?

bengc.bsky.social•36 days ago

Has worked for the United Kingdom so far - Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all have low expectations from our union with England.

monkeycat.bsky.social•36 days ago

Hear, hear!

notincharge7.bsky.social•36 days ago

I concur

Pretty sure she said "No"

elisechristine.bsky.social•36 days ago

Agree!

48 years here.
Our secret:
“She’s the most important person in both our lives”. 🙂

james-at-57.bsky.social•36 days ago

And open farting

monkeycat.bsky.social•36 days ago

That's pretty much one-sided. I think I've heard my wife fart once. She's just not gassy.

tonydaniel.bsky.social•35 days ago

Just wait 30 years. You'll see.

monkeycat.bsky.social•34 days ago

1 fart in about to be 36 years of marriage. She ain't gassy.
