congrats RD

congrats rd, I wish you and your wife all the best!

...as someone whose been with the same woman for 17 years...

I'll offer you this advice.

Never go to bed angry. (always talk through your problems before you go to bed) Yes, sometimes you'll be up till 4am working through it, but its well worth it. And think of the make-up sex man!

(I'm not bashing that lifestyle. It's just not my "thing".)

I've been married over 18 years and I've gone to bed pissed off (and with my wife pissed off at me) many times.

We just don't consider divorce an option unless it's for unforgivable acts of adultery or comitting of a heinous crime.

Congra rat chew lations!



I've never been married so please leave SOMEONE for us first-timers!!!!

The make up sex is typically better if you just admit she was right. Then you get to bed before 4:00 AM unless the make up sex LASTS that long...

Oh, and if she stomps out of the room and says she's sleeping on the couch, you're supposed to go after her, not go to bed. Going to bed = NO make up sex at all. For a verrrrrry long time.

Thanks again for all the kind words (and advice!).

We had a great time at the wedding and (the first part) of our honeymoon in NY. (The second part takes place in Spain in March.)

Here's a shot of us resting just across from the WTC site on the steps at Brooks Brothers.



This is what we did in NY:
Stayed at the Hilton in Midtown.
Shopped.
Did the Circle Line tour all the way around Manhattan.
Saw a Broadway show (Young Frankenstein). Highly recommended.
Shopped
Walked from Midtown to Downtown.
Ate at Redeye Grill, Gray's Papaya, Magnolia Bakery, Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory, Tom's Restaurant (think Seinfeld), various pizza places.
Visited the WTC site
Shopped
Walked the length of Central Park
Visited St. Patrick's cathedral
Shopped
Visited MoMA
Walked over (and back) the Brooklyn Bridge
Walked from the Upper East to Upper West side through Central Park.

Shopped

...among other things...

Again, thanks for all the kind words.
You guys are great.
