With This Ring I Thee Wed: Marriage an Alternative Viewpoint
A humorous look at marriage and the expectations that people may have of it.
With this ring I thee wed… and now I expect…
To never have to do the dishes again
To never need to cook a meal again
To have my meal given to me when I come in, regardless of time and yes I will complain if it isn’t ready or is ruined
To allow the pets to lick clean the plates I can’t be bothered to move off the floor
To let mould grow in my old coffee mugs
To leave my laundry around the house and have you clear it up
To not have to figure out how the washing machine works
To not have to learn how to use an iron
To expect you to have a full time job and do all the housework
To not have to tidy up – that’s YOUR job
To not have to lift a finger around the house – unless I want to
To go out with my mates on a drinking binge and not tell you when I am coming home
To forget birthdays and anniversaries
To think a bunch of garage flowers is a sufficient apology
To spend ages talking about how great my car is and not notice your new hairdo or clothes
To think “facebooking” is a good way to communicate with you
To have a better relationship with my computer and blackberry than you
To know more about my online buddies than you
To expect hugs, cuddles and *** when I want it
To expect you to look after the kids and deal with discipline
To sit in my underpants all weekend if I want to
To spread out across the bed and have all the duvet if I want
To snore all night and refuse to use the spare room
To stay in bed for as long as I want
To drink beer in front of the TV and watch sports
To fart in bed, heck to fart anywhere!
To let myself go – I don’t need the gym body any more
Well heck darlin’ what do you expect??? I married ya didn’t I…!
Yes my darling you did but after all that… here’s the number of my divorce lawyer!

Hilarious, I think you managed to sum up 85% of modern marriages in that article. Kudos my friend.
So funny, but true! You made me laugh so hard with this one.
