The sad thing is, there really are a lot of things to like in our marriage. We share a lot of similar interests...it's so hard to find a woman my age who likes science fiction and video games. LOL. She is really funny, and tolerates my silliness. I am very attracted to her, physically. We have very similar views on most things, and it seems like 9 times out of 10, both of us can tell exactly what the other is thinking.
But once we got married, things changed. The amount of sex we had started decreasing VERY rapidly. She became more demanding of things to be her way and less tolerant of what I wanted to do. Hell, I think it says a lot about her that on my birthday, rather than ask what I wanted to do, she spent 4 hours playing Rock Band on the Xbox and wondered why I didn't want to just sit there and watch her.
You know, it's funny you call her a Princess....my MIL was telling me that that's how her dad always thought of her, before he died. He didn't want her to have to learn how to do anything like cook, clean, take care of a man, etc because she was his little princess.
I wish I could cut and run...but between her suicide attempts (she might actually carry it out if I left), my lack of a place to go, and threats from certain members of her family...I just really don't know that I could get out. But I hear you...if I had known that this is how things would be, I wouldn't have married her either, even though I very much love her.
I think a lot of relationship is affected by how we got together. She actually pursued my best friend first, knowing that I liked her...and only after he cheated on her and dumped her was she willing to see that me and her should be together. Maybe by allowing myself to be the rebound guy (even though it was 6 months later), I set a precedent for the way things will be.
