i wonder...
i wonder if finding a spouse is anything like selecting a car or furniture to purchase.
you try to be very careful because it is a long-term, high-risk, expensive investment. you spend all this time searching and searching, and there are just so many of them out there but nothing seems quite right. so you decide that even though there may be some things that you don't like, you are choosing to live with them because you perhaps very much like some of the other things.
later, every time you may be annoyed by one of these things, you will have to remind yourself of the choice you made.
i have no opinion on this. i'm just wondering.
you are aware of my furniture situation, are you not? and are you aware of how much i love my ride, my ride so fly? interesting.

i wonder where you are that you have as many options for finding a husband as you do when buying furniture : )

oh there are options. i didn't say they were GOOD options. not at all.

'round here, it's tough to find good furniture and a good match. so basically, i'm screwed... wait. that's not the right word in this context.

With furniture you are selecting something that looks good that you want to lay on, eat off of or sit on. With a car you want it to look good and get you from point A to B...maybe you want exotic though, or hot-n-fast...
I sometimes regret my large purchases so I wonder if I would regret my decision on a spouse. Hmm.

I think searching for a spouse is a lot like stock market speculation. Or dominoes. Or really big cats.

d- you're right; that is the wrong word. i am reluctant to try to come up with the correct one.
babbling dwight- yes; yes; both; probably. it's called buyer's remorse, which rhymes with divorce. actually i hear it's a point of maturity when one is able to live with one's [insert either "significant other" or "major purchases" here] contentedly despite inherent problems or inadequacies. i've heard it called "compromise" and "realistic expectations". but sometimes i call it "settling".
kieran- welcome to my corner! i dig musicians and guys who wear sportcoats. now, big cats? are you calling me fat? just kidding.
