The problem with marrying your best friend...

[raefinlay]

...is the talking. For hours. When you really, really should be sleeping.

*yawns*
*gets more coffee*

Yes, but when there's silence it's the good kind. Because they are your best friend.

Heh. True dat.

I would love to tell you that this problem goes away after several years of marriage, but apparently seven and a half is not enough time to reach that point yet.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

We're doomed.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

But you're doomed together.

Cue chorus: Awwwwwww.

my hubby and I do the same thing!
Isn't it wonderful though?

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

It's true the sleep is essential.

But. . . would you really want to give up those moments?

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Naw. Esp when there's a cuddly afghan involved.

[palinade.livejournal.com]

So. True. :)

In light of the alternative which is...

Me: Your home?
Ex husband: Yup.
Me: Ready for bed?
Ex husband: Yup.
Me: Good night.
Ex husband: Good night. *snores like a freight train*
Me: *shakes ex husband* Wake up. You're snoring again.
Ex husband: Sorry. *rolls over and snores like a freight train again*
Me: Goes downstares to sleep on the couch.

I'd rather be sleep deprived from enjoyable conversation!

Heh. Good point!

Yeah. When you find that you've just spent the last two hours arguing about whether or not Harry Potter is going to die and/or manifest Super Special Hero Powers in the last book, you start wishing that you didn't have quite so much in common. Heh.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Excuse me, the boss is kicking my chair again.

Talking is much better than not talking. Even if it about action figures. Also sometimes waking up at 3 a.m., realizing best friend isn't there, and finding him in the living room, not sleeping because he is depressed/stressed out. And then you make coffee and talk more about the action figures.

[raecarson.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[madwriter.livejournal.com]

Hah! You passed the Sick Test, and now you've passed the Talking Late Into The Night Test! That's two for two so far!

[frigg.livejournal.com]

hahaha...I could do that as well, but it'd be a monologue.

[pjthompson]

Lucky, lucky girl and boy...

[writerswife.livejournal.com]

Glad things are going so well for you, too. It's wonderful when you have times like that. I've been loving the painting because it's one of those with your best friend times.

That's why people in arranged marriages are always so well rested.

[irysangel.livejournal.com]

Boy, I know that feeling. :)

(Sad thing is, people don't believe you're really TALKING.)

[chrisbillett.livejournal.com]

Aw.

[benrosenbaum.livejournal.com]

Oh, amen, amen, sister! :-)
