Two perfect strangers with totally different backgrounds and who may have known each other for say a year, are now living in close quarters. The little things that they kept to themselves, and the not so perfect manners and habits that did not get exposed during the wooing process, begin to surface.
David was attracted to Sarah because of her knock out good looks, fit body and energy. David's macho, take control personality pleased Sarah. Sarah's dislike for exercise is just the tip of the iceberg. And David's pickiness and bossiness will start to surface quickly, and so will his lack of serious commitment.
David has a peculiar habit that escaped Sarah's notice. While waiting for a traffic light he picks his nose, studies the mined result and then flicks the booger out the window. Sarah thinks this is pretty gross, but it is just a small annoying habit that she is sure she can help him fix. Sarah mentions the nose drilling to David, and, he denies it--oh oh.
On exercise day Sarah has suddenly become too tired to attend classes, her back hurts and she thinks she did something to her knee. One night Sarah lets one rip in bed. David is a bit taken aback, but probably just an isolated incident. The farting continues becoming a regular occurrence, and stinky as well.
David confronts Sarah about the flatus, says it is not lady like and quite smelly. Sarah is embarrassed and blames it on the pasta that has become a major part of their diet.
A year goes by and they are not the same two people. They are both on the porky side, and Sarah is talking baby. But David would rather have a new BMW and a puppy. It had been Sarah's belief that David wanted to have kids, David claims he never said anything about rug rats and wants no part of it right now, he does not want to get tied down.
Many of Sarah and David's friends have babies, Sarah is jealous and the mommy juices are flowing like torrents. David is appalled--his guy friends are changing diapers and they hardly do any guy things anymore, like Friday night pub crawling. David and Sarah start having arguments about how they want their lives to go. Sarah wants to build a family and do family things, David wants to have fun and see the world.
David still loves Sarah so he succumbs, they have a cute little baby girl and Sarah is now a major porker. At first David is smitten with baby, and then comes the late night feedings, lack of sleep, diaper changing, throw ups and on and on. Sarah is getting very bitchy and cranky and so is David. David starts spending more time at work and still wants to carouse on Friday nights. Sarah wants him at home to help with the baby--and she is pregnant again, a real fluke considering their sex life is slim to none.
This is not at all what David had in mind. After just a few years his smart, sexy, energetic sweetheart is now an overweight home body devoted to her kids and he is second in her life. Not to let David off the hook, he drinks too much beer and has the belly to prove it.
Where to go from here? The most logical thing to do is to sit down and have a civil conversation about what they each want out of life, reach a compromise, get in shape and rekindle the fire and romance that disappeared from their lives. Perhaps a marriage counselor, or a referee.
What will they do? Probably nothing, like too many people in today's society they don't know how to be honest and communicate their feelings without pointing fingers and getting into an ego driven argument. Their egos will prevail--they will stay together because of the kids, plan for retirement, and expect things to get better when their kids leave. They will then have more freedom and be able to spend more quality time together--think so?
And then their kids will have weddingsand it starts all over, odds are the newly webs will navigate a similar road.
