My daughter’s a prime example of marriage mismanageMINT! A militant lesbian rainbow warrior - in her early 20’s she eloped with her love partner, and they/them went galloping and giggling into the night and I haven’t seen them since! Probly a good thing for both of us I suppose?
But what if we reimposed the old ways, and made marriage unbreakable and put the arrangements in the hands of the family patriarch?
Oh man!!! I’d find a family of filthy rich jews, and marry my daughter off to their axe murdering son and cash in!!! HAR HAR HAR HAR!!! 😂👍
But…if things worked like that, I shudder to think of the marriage my parents would have arranged for me! I can just imagine some angry fuggin shitlib bint I’d have ended up with. The wife woulda done better for herself, though…
🤔
Speaking of fatties… I see Pete Hegseth has read the riot act to the military on PT and fitness. I wish all of them the best of luck, I really do. I’ve finally started a diet and I struggle with it. I will cheat but afterward I get right back on it and it’s all green feed with strictly controlled carbs and proteins. I’m making progress. It’s slow… but I’m wearing my old BDU pocket pants that haven’t fit me in years. I still have a long way to go.
I think a good diet gets more important as you age. One of the ladies at church was wrangling the little ones and slipped on a toy chasing after a miscreant - and tore half the tendons in her legs out. She’s huge and the old bod won’t take stresses like that - especially as you age. The wife went over to help her out because she couldn’t even get up to go pee by herself.
Who knows. All I know is I’m feeling a bit better and some aches and pains I had are going away. Even small steps will get you where you’re going - if they’re in the right direction.
"Olden days" arranged marriages were mostly very successful, because your folks wanted you to have a good married life and they were WAY better at psychology.
ReplyDeleteYou wouldn't love her at first, but you would respect her for working, helping to pull the weight. Respect would be joined by love. Those marriages were long lasting, unless disease, accident or violence took yer mate.

ReplyDeleteMe thinks your not going back far enough filthy, 100 BC where you are the pater familias and have the legal power to strangle your rainbow warrior daughter for disgracing the family is how far back we need to go.
A broad here in California married the Santa Fe train station in San Diego... I guess she could done worse than marrying a spouse that would be guaranteed to pull a train on her at least a few times a day. After all, ...California...
ReplyDeleteGiven the two choices, I'd take the chubster over the screwball any day. A loon like that could easily go nuts around four in the morning and brain you with a bedpan, then claim the dog did it.
ReplyDeleteMy cousin 88 started head hunting some years back, and rejected every one of them. I heard about a few, and if she hadn't ex'd 'em, I would have done it. One loser after another, and the defects were significant. Fer-instence, one candidate looked okay, had a PhD and a good job, but evidenced the table manners of a starving walrus. He's history. Another one seemed okay at first, then farted constantly during a film they went to see. Loud ones, and stunk like three day old road kill. Then there was a whole string of 'em who had weird sexual desires. Now, I'm no prude, but I think I could have murdered about half these perverts and pleaded contributing to the overall well-being of society. Just give me a jury trial.
Where was I going with this?
With a significant number of years behind her, her father had a talk with her and told her if she was gay, it was okay. She isn't, but for some reason my friends and I always wondered.
Arranged marriages will work, but only if divorce is not an option. Which in the old days, it wasn't, and which I always believed. Once you're married, that's it.
Just remember, in the old days brothels were legal and quite common. You stayed married, of course, but if you needed a little extra there were always options. Most women of the time simple accepted it, some were probably relieved by it.
