[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16130640, member: 181885"] I miss the days when I was dating my wife, just before we got engaged (2012, not that I regret engagement or marriage for a second...). Things were easy. Work was challenging but manageable, I was rebuilding after having just lost everything in 2010/2011, and everything was looking up. I looked forward to every Friday night and all weekend, counting down the minutes until I'd get out of work and rush to pick her up. We'd get dinner on Friday nights. I'd pick her up early on Saturday, get breakfast, then have a full day trip planned out. Hiking, swimming, going to the movies, an amusement park, etc. I wasn't worried about money (despite making 25% of what our income is now), I wasn't stressing about work, I was just going with the flow and actually enjoying life with my future wife. We had our "last hurrah" as a weekend getaway down to Bulls Island SC and the Charleston Aquarium before she had to return to college. The day I moved into my new house was the day she left for college. I lived alone for the next year until we were married and she moved in. During that time, I kept myself occupied through work and started becoming a bad workaholic. She visited me a few times, and I spent a few weekends out at her college about 4 hours away. Once we got married, it just seemed like life was hitting us weekly- things breaking, surprise bills, work stresses. I miss those simpler times. Seems like all of the "stuff" that was added since never really added any quality of life- just detracted from it as "one more thing" to take care of and watch break. [/QUOTE]
