Another stupid statistic or reality ???

THE honeymoon period is officially over two years, six months and 25 days after a couple ties the knot, researchers say. At that point, both partners take each other for granted and get lazy.

Seven out of ten men start leaving socks and pants around the house, and 79 per cent leave the toilet seat up.

Meanwhile two thirds of women no longer dress up for their husbands, and 54 per cent don’t bother with make up.

John Sewell, of onepoll.com who carried out the survey, said: “Couples still love each other, but are a little too comfortable in each other’s company.”

The biggest problem why marrige goes stale is down to ´change´.

The woman always hopes the man will change after marrige and he never does.

You know not all men complain about this stuff after marriage. The sensible ones are a lot more realistic and prefer their women to be casual. I think thats the best thing about marriage, is that you reach a level where you are comfortable with each other. Personally my hubby hates the make up where he says women natural beauty is much better that a face with paint on.

That's quite a hefty task. Considering you don't get help at home (for the housewives), these should be on your list as a daily routine:

1. Wake up, wake kids up

2. Make breakfast

3. Take kids to school

4. Do errands - groceries, etc

5. Chores to do at home

6. Pick the kids up

7. Snack time for the kids

8. Prepare dinner for hubby and kids

9. Get the kids ready for bed

...

I'm not sure about the rest but it seems to me that with all those things to do, juggling it together with keeping yourself 'pretty' for your husband would be quite a task and a half to do.

I'm not saying it's impossible but we should give them housewives credit.

Talking of the majority of wives sitting at home..

Story of a typical Expat non working mom (actually does more than if she was working)..

Gets up early in the morning freshin ups.. Wakes the Kids and gets them ready make their lunch and breakfast.. Then drives them to school.. Comes home joins the ladies for coffee morning or goes to do the shopping nearly time to pick up the kids again..Picks the Kids up and then start preparing the Tea..

O yes forget to mention the Husband in all of this...He gets up gets ready and goes to work in an office and returns home in the afternoon..

Now consider who has been more busy .. So no wonder she has no time to get ready for the Husband.. Plus we people in west see our husband wives as friends and just another person we live with.. But some cultures as mentioned above by Brit see their Husband as God..So no wonder they get ready..

So the concluding remark is that unless you a Qatari lady with 3 maids at your disposal you have not time to get ready for your Husband..

I was close friends with an Indian Doctor in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. His wife ensured that when he arrived home from work, she would be showered , made up and nicely dressed to greet him. We may not agree with it, but it worked for them and they were both very happy.

i know how uncomfortable it can get with so much makeup on your face that it can be possibly caked out!i've seen some of my cousins sweating profusely for weddings with all their heavy bridal make-up on.many of the parlors forget to apply water-proof make-up and the whole thing starts dripping onto the bridal trousseau once the flash lights are switched on right onto their faces,making the bride look like she could do with a breath of fresh air!LOL.....

Gypsy's right, you can't be dressed up and made up all the time. And it's nice to have a husband who still loves you, even though he knows what you look like without makeup!

I remember early in our marriage (long before I "let myself go", lol) my husband commenting--rather wistfully it seemed-- how back in the good old days, his aunt was always in full makeup etc etc when her husband came home from work, blah blah blah

Ok. She didn't work. In fact, she had servants. She wasn't minding the kids, she sure as heck wasn't driving them to school or running out to look for supplies for their school project due tomorrow. She wasn't cooking. She wasn't cleaning.......What else did she have to do all day besides fuss with her hair and makeup?

By svelte_saggi• 29 Oct 2008 09:57

blame it on peer pressure,i say.newly married men hear tales of woe from their peers and subconsciously start feeling that perhaps their new brides will also tread the same path later on.so try as we might,if we falter even a little bit,their thoughts will go haywire and they too will join the bandwagon of sob-story tellers.then it's a vicious circle.....they start telling lies to go out with friends,we lose our trust in them,and so on and so forth....

I can confirm that from the British point of view.. can anyone from Qatar (Qatrai prospect say that).. You can smell a Qatri guy or Lady from at least 10 to 20 meters away.. May be we should investigate and could learn from our host here what makes them dress up??

I might be wrong about the dressing up as you cannot see behind the curtain..but definately half a bottle of purfume is definately spent on every outing...

i have always said that ur partner must be given as much importance after marriage as he/she was given before it.many people fail to do this....leading to bored marriages,wherein couples just stay together under one roof for the sake of it.i know i'd give my partner gifts and surprises even after 50 years just the way i do now...of course,giving gifts is not a measure of love.it's just to keep the relationship as fresh as it is now.i've seen my parents do the same way and (touchwood) they both are still soooooo in love with each other. :-)

the basic problem lies in taking each other for granted...and then self-neglect.i've heard many of my friends telling me,"oh!now what's the need to buy pretty dresses or new lipsticks?i'm married now".....that is oh so wrong!i just cite one example to them....

why does a cow/bull go in search of fresh pasture?coz it is not getting the grass it needs from it's own farm/meadow.if you give it only hay,it will yearn for fresh grass and try to move away from where it is.on the contrary,if you take extra efforts to grow fresh grass in your little backyard with a little love and care and fertilizers,the cow/bull won't go anywhere.it'll stay back comfortably....coz it knows it's owner and has a comfortability level with him/her.

i guess it's easy enuf to correlate the situation of marriage with this example.

The post got side tracked.. I think we were talking about ladies dressing up for their men and keeping the marriage alive..

Thats the spirit. Actually I never really asked my wife to do anything. She takes care of herself "look wise" and I do the same, although I seem to be falling terribly behind in that department.

As for everything else in our 5 years of marriage, I can sum it up to one word "Compromise", thats how we get by the little stuff and focus on actually living with each other and not assigning roles :-)

War...War never changes...

Another answer is perhaps to sit down and pee....

Also I think the default position of the toilet seat is down, men have been blessed with equipment to aim and fire, they should use it once in a while.

I think the troubling statistic is women not "dressing up" for men..Mrs Expat refuses to wear the latest PVC gear I bought her..

well I can understand. Life is so hectic after marriage and well my husband doesn't give me enough money to take care of myself.

Of course he'd say I am an overdemanding housewife

Cheers all

Heard your wife left you,

How upset you must be.

But don't fret about it...

She moved in with me.

Then why can't women learn to leave the seat up for men?

Surely Marriage is a partnership, not slavery ;o)

Did you Google it first?
