What is (or what do you anticipate) the most difficult part of having your S.O.?

[AreaCode707]

Talking specifically about you, not in general.

 

[zendari]

Getting them to cook.

 

[hypn0tik]

Not being with them for the summer.

I agree

But it should be our first and last summer apart.

Literal interpretation of the Bible, when I believe in a more metaphorical interpretation.

 

[RedCOMET]

Finding time to be with said S.O. while Engr class are in full bloom.

 

[Otaking]

Finding agreement on everything.

Eh, that's easy. You have to marry a woman who likes and wants to cook.

 

[pray4mojo]

I'd say getting her to like me.

Hm, lots of these answers (getting to be together) sound like we're talking about the early stages of a relationship - what about further down the line?

 

[dullard]

Proper time management. That was the ultimate demise of my marriage, and the reason I'm in divorce proceedures at the moment (11 years down the drain). I bet it is a major part of just about every divorce in the US. I don't have proof of it, but I'd be willing to wager anything that it is true.

We all need time alone. But we also need time together for the relationship to last. Where the cutoff lies will vary by person to person. But if the desired point differs by too much between the couple, the relationship is doomed.

Putting myself aside.

You have an extra is up there in the thread title, too.

Time: trying to manage time with and away from your S.O.

Especially when you're not used to scheduling anything in your own life, let alone scheduling for two.

 

[Zenmervolt]

I think the most difficult thing for them will be dealing with how introverted and co-dependant I am.

For me, I think the hardest thing will be recognising that I can't be with them every time I have spare time.

I'm just too damned lazy to get into a relationship, even when the door is held wide open.

 

[dullard]

As you can see, hypn0tik, supafly, RedCOMET, dullard, Savij, and Zenmervolt all have time as part/all of the answer.

 

[KarenMarie]

hardest part of dealing with me: I am an opinionated, control freak b!tch.

hardest part of being with him: He is horrible at technical stuff, and he is always busy doing stuff that doesnt interest me. (work related)

Time away, yes, but I've taken a couple flights to visit her and then we are going on a cruise before we go back to school (at the same place).

If my past relationships have taught me anything, this will be far from the most difficult part.

Getting her off her butt. She has a tendancy to come home, sit down with a book, and basically do nothing until the next time she has some pre-existing engagment she's expected to show up for (like work). She's not always like that, but once she sits down, it's hard to get her back up again, especially if you want her to be productive.

Welcome to the club!

Am I the only one who has a deep fear of becoming ultimately and completely bored with my wife after many decades of marriage? I mean, at some point, I know all there is to know about her -- do 65-ers point at each other and say, "Look Linda! You have a new wrinkle there."?

She sounds like me. And I definitely see that as the hardest thing for my future girlfriend/fiance/wife to deal with.

Finding an SO in the first place Broke up with my last girlfriend a long time ago.

After 7 years of marriage I can honestly say that there isn't really anything that is "difficult" about our relationship, and don't anticipate anything either.
