i have come across many marriages that simply becomes stale in the later years..at the beginning, when the guy is full of lust for the girl, he can promise her the moon and the stars. after a few years, he calls her unreasonable for wanting to be treated like a princess (in some cases, the women are simply treated like maids!) don't most guys promise to be nice, to accomodate the girl all his life? i mean, as a gentleman, shouldn't the nice gestures continue even into the later years? like the small thought of sending flowers once in a while etc. many give excuses such as "we're too old to be romantic" or "i have no patience for her childish ways"
is a guy only nice before he beds her?
Is a case of give and take.
If you read all the posts in this thread you will realise that those couple who surive well together becos they willing to help each other and to built a better future together. Marriage is a 2 party effort not one sided affair.
Is the same rule as friendship, will you be friends with someone who keep asking for favours but refuse to help out when you are in need?
Answer to TS question is very simple. How long can a one sided pampering last? 1 year to 9 years?
Lets do a case study to help people understand.
Guy A marries Gal B, he pampers and takes care of his wife very well. Gal B naturally wants more by the days go by.
Examples "HDB too small, I want bigger one "
"Gal B friend's big new car, Gal B wants a bigger one"
so on...
If Guy A is rich is ok for him to keep up with Gal B demands but what if Guy A is just a normal average singaporean living in a realistic world?
In order to pamper his wife even more, guy A have to work longer hours and spent less time with Gal B. Gal B conplains and ask why, but forgotten the hardship guy A had to put in to meet his wife growing demands.
Gal B thought since guy A can make it so she ask for more.
See the cycle?
What did poor guy A get in return ? nothing but more demands and wants coming in.
"don't most guys promise to be nice, to accomodate the girl all his life? i mean, as a gentleman, shouldn't the nice gestures continue even into the later years?"
I do not believe such crap as I have seen so many guys get into debts becos they want to pamper their wifes well. Gals always used this type of excuses to get what they want and give nothing in return.
I want to challenge the title
" for married guys, how long did u pamper your wife? "
With this words.
" for married woman, have your demands and wants ever grow smaller and understanding for the man whom work so hard to provide for you grow bigger?"
