“The longer you’re together, the more you’ll be glad when he’s not under foot, believe me.”

We’ve only been married 2 years – will this really happen?

“He never says he’s sorry or asks for forgiveness.”

This is my husband’s motto – plus “Never admit to anything!” I think he’s learning a little bit though – he has said sorry this past few months more than he has done so his whole life!

Hi Lola!

WOW. 25 years of monogamy and 13 years of marriage. I feel sheer awe and amazement. To answer your question, I have been married 9 years.

I see that your blog is called Sassy Mamma Says. I am definitely going to be paying you visits, as I strive to be as sassy as possible at all times.

Just kidding;) But that’s a very catchy title.

Since I’m new to your site, just found it today, may I ask how long you’ve been married. I’ve been with my husband since I was 17, so that’s 25 years of monogomy (not kidding). We’ve been married and living together 13 years, ups and downs, but happy all in all.

I tell you this because my husband is the same way – they all are – cannot be changed no matter what, and I’m a determined you-know-what! He never says he’s sorry or asks for forgiveness. As a matter of fact, when he told my son to tell me he was sorry for something, the seven-year-old says, “Why? You never do.” The kid’s got a point. Then I made him say he was sorry. You gotta train them young.

As long as he’s not doing something bad and is making money, enjoy your time alone. The longer you’re together, the more you’ll be glad when he’s not under foot, believe me.

Well, my husband doesn’t ask for forgiveness. He feels that this is an automatic part of things. His reasoning is “I HAVE to stay till 4:00 am, so you HAVE to forgive me.”

But, it does make me feel like slightly less of a pushover that a fellow wife feels it’s ok if temporary. Also, I greatly enjoy the way you refer to enforcing limits as busting out my can of Whoop Ass. The more I say it, the more I like it.

Here bust our your can of Whoop Ass and enforce those limits. I mean not that I would know. My hubs is the same way he ignores the limits and asks for forgiveness. And, honestly? I think that’s okay as long as it’s temporary.

Good Luck!
