The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

<< Though I know you are ignorant in matters of dealing with a spouse, >>

On the contrary, I'm quite familiar (from observing others}, and that's why I'm happily unmarried.


Stop, please. You made me laugh so hard I snorted my coffee.

Perfect example of engineer superior thinking that you know it all. That's kind of like saying you went to a Michelin star restaurant last night so now you know what it's like to be a top chef.

On the other hand, I have always believed that you have made the right choice in staying single, but that's because of who you are, not what the institution of marriage is. No matter what our individual issues are, and DH and I both have them, collectively we are significantly stronger as a couple than we would be separately. That's from almost 35 years experience as a couple, with all the joys and stresses that 35 years of family life brings.
