Well, in the relationship, I am clearly, far and away, the idiot.

My Laurie is just a very sweet person.

Back in the 80's, she and her parents went to a show at a New Jersey venue called Club Bene.

She and her parents are in this huge, huge line, waiting to get into the show. And everyone is getting annoyed.

And Laurie is getting super annoyed.


One of the local mob bosses came into the club and walked passed the line of people waiting and started to just walk right into the club. Everyone in line just stayed quiet, did not say a single thing, just terrified of this guy.

Not my Laurie. She was so pissed off, she just started yelling at the mob guy, and LOUD. Worse, it worked. The mob guy could not take it. He just gave up. He just left!!!


Five years ago, I gave Laurie her official Mafia nickname. It's "The Doorman."

One day, she came home from work and the screen door simply would not open. Laurie tried. Then she tried again, then she tried again. Each time she was getting more and more pissed off. Finally she kicked the door. She kicked the door so hard, the entire screen door crumpled like a crushed piece of aluminum foil.

I just stared at her with an open mouth as she walked past her little scene of destruction.

I steadied myself and meekly offered...."Laurie....your Mafia nickname is "The Doorman!"

(then, like a proper husband, I quickly ran away, downstairs, and locked the bathroom door until she cooled down).

Thanks for sharing your love story. Sounds like you found a true partner in crime!

We crime together often.

Late at night, we go to all night pharmacies and steal small packages of Peanut M&Ms.

Then, before we leave, we sneak the register open and shove the money for the M&Ms in the register, before anyone can stop us.

Because that is how we roll.
 
We like a lot of the same things .
Always have said I married him for adventures.

Been married 59 years & now we face the adventure of growing old together.
best wishes to you both.

I made some jokes here, but my wife is wonderful. I do not know what I would do without her.
 
What's inspiring about my wife is she put up with a lot of :poop: while still being able to smile at the end of the day. I worked weekdays, sometimes double shifts, and only had time for family on weekends. My wife did most of the parenting, strict but reasonable. She taught them basic and social skills while I instilled a sense of morality in them. I don't think she ever complained. It's nice to come home after a long day and not to have to scream at your kids.
