I spent the weekend horse camping with a bunch of married friends. It's always hard being the single married person.

I understand what you're saying about how wonderful it is to see good couple or families and wish we had that, we long for that.

One of the couples I was with had a big fight over donuts, the H wanted to share them with other campers and the W was angry that he brought them to camp.
Another W demanded that someone get to the campfire NOW, and then said she's used to always being the bitchy one at home.
Another couple sit on opposite sides of the campfire and pick at each others words.
Another couple can't join the group because the W is so weird.
Another H is the most great guy as long as he does whatever his W asks and does it now.

I guess those wonderful M's are all in how we perceive it. How much time do you spend working for something that will most likely never live up to our expectations?
