Train Wrecks

[Son of Clyde]

I have had a rough go at times but my wife and I love each other and we want it to work.

Why then do some guys wait for "train wreck' status to make a post?

I have seen guys who say nothing substantial until it seems like the end is near.

Are we not here to share as guys who are single or married and are all going through this same process?

I rarely see the older married guys say anything remotely negative so I assume everything is great 24/7?

Can't speak for anybody else SoC but we are a OK, Okydokey!!!
Better relationship than I have had in any of my previous ones so no reason to complain. Sorry, I know you wanted something juicy but I can't help you out and no offence, but glad to say that too. LOL

Geeze Clyde,
No one is living in pure heaven, no matter what is posted here.  All marriages have their ups and downs and difficulties.  It is just that the men here with experience in relationships, know that this is the norm and know how to handle things.  We don't need to ask for assistance in that area.

You took on a whole lot in your first marriage to a RW.  Most of your difficulties were marriage related and not related to your wife being a RW.  A lot of us have had marriages in the past, so we know the drill and we choose not to talk about "those" things.  After all this is a forum about Russian women and not a forum pertaining to marriage relationships.   I do admit that there is some cross over and most of us are glad to help out with the relationship part too.

To assume that everyone has a great relationship 24/7 is a wrong assumption.  Lena and I have our fair share of disagreements, but they are not relative to this forum and they are part of a typical marriage.  I just don't choose to share them all here.  I prefer to give this forum an overall picture and that picture is great!

I am sure that in every marriage/relationship here there are problems. No relationship of any kind could possibly be without problems of one kind or another.

For me, if I see something similar to what we have gone through or what I have seen/heard from others and I have something to say that could be of help I will say it in a way that does not disclose the personal details. I don't think anyone's wife/fiance'/girlfriend would be very happy if they saw intimate details of their relationship posted on a public board.

Perhaps there are some who relish in someone else's demise but for the most part I feel that it is more of a "lack of surprise" at the demise than any happiness due to it.

Although it is only year two of our marriage, we have a great relationship 24/7, no downs or difficulties, we have always had a great relationship probably due to our personalities. Although I realise that it could change, as long as we both work for the benefit of our marriage it should continue to be as good in the future as it is now.
