An angry spouse is blowing up my phone at 6 a.m.!
I have a bone to pick with you. Now...I hope you have time to hear it. Because I got something to say...
Said the voice on the other end... The call was coming in from Germany...
Oh Lord...what did I do now? I asked with the sleep still in my voice.
It was one of my "adopted" big brothers. And he was pissed about something he read on my facebook page.
He was about to go into his "now, what you not gonna do is..." tirades...and I had to stop him. I swear it wasn't me! LOL
Uh uh uh...nah... you slipped back into this whole..
I'm telling you!!! It wasn't me... I didn't...
Now listen...now you listen to me...
What was he mad about? LOL...I mean foaming off at the mouth mad about? LOL
THIS: "Given the state of marriage these days, why get married? (from a reader)"
A question I posted on facebook. But I'm not the one who asked the question. Someone else asked me to pose the question to the masses to get their reaction. Finally he let me get the truth out...LOL
He wanted me to let the person who asked the question know that they need to stop putting negativity out about marriage. Now this is coming from a dude who was a prime time player in his day. I mean he got it in!!! I actually wrote an article about him a while ago. Titled "Should I marry a player."
Today, he's been married for over 8 years. And he is a dedicated husband. Every thing he does is for the "team". He told me about how his little brother is shaky about getting married and this is what he had to say to him:
"You better be thankful on your knees and grateful that someone wants to tolerate you for the rest of your life. You don't now how great of a sacrifice that is."
And he means that. He sees marriage as a sacrifice that is worthy on both ends. I mean why do people complain about working to have a good marriage, when they never complain about working to have something else they want in life...be it career or anything else.
He's a dedicated father too. He basically said what my other homeboy said in "#4 What he said: A conversation with my guy friend." Marriage is about letting go of the selfishness for the greater good of the team. When everyone puts the team first, everyone will be taken care of... That's just how it is done.
And if your team is happy, then you are happy. Whatever it takes. If it means helping around the house. Help around the house. If it means wiping noses and changing diapers... Do that. "When you sign that marriage certificate, it doesn't say his duties and her duties. It says you are married... It's a team effort."
"Helping around the house doesn't take away your manhood. You're gonna be a man regardless. If that tests your manhood, you were never a man to begin with. Shoot I do all of that.. And I'll still bust ya *** if I need too."
Now what he really wanted to get off his chest is: IF MARRIAGE AIN'T FOR YOU, DON'T GET MARRIED, BUT BE SELFISH ENOUGH TO KEEP ALL THAT NAYSAYING TO YOURSELF TOO!
Hey...that's what HE SAID... Not me.. Basically he wants all y'all folks who have something bad to say about marriage to STHU... LOL
And he meant that thang... So much so...that he woke me up at 6 a.m. to say it LOL
