Everyone thinks that they know what marriage will be like, but the truth is less exciting than Hollywood would have you believe: now, instead of doing the same mundane things you used to do by yourself everyday, you have a partner doing their own same mundane things with you.
Did you just fart, or is that the dog? Inspired by this Huff Post article, we've decided to add to it with questions and comments like this one, to make an ultimate “married life in a nutshell” collection. Which one sums up marriage best? Make your voice heard. Vote!

Screw that, you guys are spoiling them, my husband puts them in the dishwasher and even empties it periodically

I don't know that that's a "married people" issue. It's just a "this person is a slob" issue.

*husband: asks wife where clean underwear is. Wears dirty/no underwear until wife has washed some

That's why we color-code stuff in our house. If it's pink or purple, it's definitely not mine. Even though I like purple.

I'm bad at that one I'm always looking for the deals I can have a few things to get and be gone for a hour but I also like the me time.

No problem there. He has a foot on his side of the bed... I have a foot on my side of the bed and the dogs take up all the space in the middle!

I used to drive my hubs crazy, wanting to pop his occasional black head, but after getting surgery on his testicle through his pelvis he got an oddly healed scar. You can't see it unless you're up close, and so for a few years we'd be fooling around, and start heading south, and come across a huge blackhead, and instead of what he was expecting when I headed down there, I'd start working on the blackhead. I had a compulsion about it, and it always killed the mood. So I'd try to stop, but compulsions aren't easy to break away from. And at some point I started doing it when I wasn't in the mood and he was being annoying, really annoying.. Worked out until he caught on and started removing the blackhead before trying to remove my bra. Now we've agreed I can do whatever I want to his blackhead, as long as I was completely topless the entire time... Goes to show you, compromise is the second most important part of a successful relationship... Lol love being first of course.

I'd have said compromise and loving someone more than you love yourself, or anything else (not counting kids, which are generally products of your love). Hard work is important too. Maybe it's because I have the most f****d up family, so I only had those (largely failed) marriages to learn about how to make it work. One thing I noticed is none of my relatives were ever willing to back down, say they were sorry, or compromise in any fashion. And none of the adults from my childhood are still together. Mom & dad #3, granny & gramps from childhood, or gramps she left him for when I was 10. Neither of my uncles are with the aunts I grew up with.

I have four kids and I don't spend $1k at Costco. Then again, if I didn't have four kids, I would have $1k to spend at Costco!

My marriage Me: him, will you take the trash out? Husband: in a minute *next day* Me: can you get the trash out now? Husband: yeah, I'll do that *3 days later* Me: Are you ever going to take the trash out? Never mind...I'll do it! Husband: why do you always have to nag?
