SOLID MARRIAGE

SOLID MARRIAGE
It’s sad when the freaks down the street can do it, and you can’t.

Who says I can’t? 11 1/2 years, baby! And they said it wouldn’t last. No really, they said it wouldn’t last.
cool story bro
…but so are roughly 70% of the people
Freaks? I thought they were a lovely couple! No vote for you!
The Amazing Rando-Congrats and good for you!
The Addamses and the Munsters — mom and dad nuts about each other, extended family under same roof, kids that got along … what’s not to like here?
And Rando, my congrats too — it can work if you want it to and put some effort into it.
Thanks both to you and deadinfrance!
I used to LOVE watching the Addams Family and The Munsters. Used to have a book of the original Addams Family cartoons, too. My favorite is still Pugsley and Wednesday building a roaring fire in the fireplace, while Mortitia and Gomez watch, hidden, saying “how sweet… they still believe in Santa Clause!”
I guess I’m one of the freaks down the street. Married for 21 years. Yes, to the same guy.
I am the freak down the street. And I’ll certainly post this to my facebook in my 10th anniversary next year!
All you need is love.

Ah! Mon Chere!
Cara MIA! :*:*:*:*
I will admit to being the freaks down the street. 12 1/2 years and counting. Just us, no kids, five cats seven computers …
7computers
O.O
Freaks? They’ve got nothing on the nut jobs who live in the apartment complex across from my house… sometimes I feel like I live across from the Domestic Violence capital of Indiana…
“Domestic Violence capital of Indiana” is redundant.
I kid.
Never did find my own Gomez *sighs*
Stop looking for him, honey. I quit looking 25 years ago…too busy, demanding job, school, sick parents – all that pesky “life” stuff. Next thing I knew my “hobby-buddy” and I were celebrating 20 years of marriage! Your Gomez is probably in your life already, you simply may not recognize him.
There is NOTHING wrong with the Addams Family. I wish they were my parents! They are most certainly not freaks.
The Addamses are perfectly normal compared to the typical subdivision/35-year-old-wife-&-58-year-old husband/severely dyslexic-autistic kids(the results of old sperm)/ritalin-vicodin-&-viagra-popping McMansion couples you see today.
I’d have been married for the last 9 years… if my girlfriend’s social security caseworker hadn’t threatened that they’d take away her SSI medical benefits if she got married to someone who actually had a job… even though the job’s medical insurance really doesn’t cover the medications she’s on…
Ah, government… it’s really there to help you.
This is progress? -ive?
It helps you as long as you make it.
Is that Morticia? Doesn’t look like how I remember her.
That’s Carolyn Jones, the TV Morticia. She doesn’t look at all like Anjelica Huston, the movie Morticia.

BRB sending that to Larry Stickney
We’re the freaks ’round the bend. 22 official years and counting; 30 total off-the-record. It ain’t easy being married to me or her. C’est la vie. TISH, THAT’S FRENCH!
My parents are now married since 22 1/2 years
Still REALLY happy and in love
they can’t be apart for long and work even together
Married after less than 20 weeks!
No one thought it would last…
But they are both a bit crazy and all my friends love them!
Still, the Addams family were great! In all versions!
And Gomez was SOOOO romantic.
Wasnt he though!
im sorry but if being a loving romantic, caring, tactile husband a good father is what constitutes being a freak these days then show mw where i can get mine!
After having grown up on nick at nite reruns of The Addams Family and The Munsters, I can definitely say my concept of a healthy relationship is skewed, but very satisfying. Fittingly, one of my long-standing nicknames is Morticia and I have a super loving and romantic boyfriend who is into dark stuff. I <3 my Gomez.
I found my Gomez too!
You know what’s funny? My husband and I being the “freaks” of his family, living together for 5 years before getting married, pre-marital sex… and yet the one whose marriage ended in a nightmare and was pretty much a joke the whole time was the one that went perfectly by The Book. I think you have to a “freak” these days…
Just to add to the crowd-
I guess us freaks are getting it right!
(16 years now!)
((5 before marriage, total of 21.))
(((OMG, that CAN’T be right!)))
I kind of like it how all the idiots gathered up here just to yell “well im the freak”.
*cricket sound*
Are you sure they’re all that normal?
After all, Samwise Gamgee was raised by Gomez and the “Identical Twin Cousins”, and his fawning over Frodo in the movie was so over the top for a straight character (Sam does marry Rose, in the end), that TNT was playing commercials for the Trilogy, using Sam & Frodo footage and the song “Secret Lovers”….
But, seriously, I envy the Addams and Munster families, considering the freak brother and sister-in-law I have that are constantly screaming at each other, insanely jealous and paranoid-level suspicious, and doing their damnedest to drain my mother dry to support their addictions, after killing my father from the stress of doing him the same way.
10 years…. amateurs. 36 years on October 13th.
15 years last August
Don’t you just love being the freaks down the street?
My parents must be the freaks down the street, 36 years of marriage last month. They did separate for a little bit before having kids, but even if you only count the years after that, 30 years is nothing to sneeze at.
Real cake-taker has to be my great aunt and uncle though- she married straight out of secretary school, and he had just gotten an engineering degree, and according to all of their friends they were absolutely smitten- but they stayed that way, flirting and teasing like newly-weds year after year. They stayed together for ~70 years until my great uncle died two years ago, at ~92 years old.
My parents were married 35 years, ending only when my mom died of lung cancer this January.
My mom and dad were married for 65 years. My wife’s parents have been married for 59 years and my wife and I have been married 37 years in December
