Slice of Life - First 3 years of being married

When I was with my uncle and his family having dinner that other day as a farewell for my other cousin leaving for Adelaide, somehow the conversation revolved to me getting hitched up. You can find the post about the dinner in the link below:

Food - Fresh seafood not cooked cold

Apparently out of the 35 grandchildren that my grandma have, I am the next grandson in line to get married. Hell, like I care. But noooo, they just have to press their luck and try to sound me out. Finally someone said something sensible though. It was my uncle. And he has a philosophy about marriages today, and I kind of totally agree with him.

FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE - SHE LISTENS TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY

When you first get married. You decide to let your ego inflate and show who is the boss. She on the other hand decides to try to please you, because being the newly wed and not having any idea how much difference wedded life maybe and may change, she is always there for you. She starts learning to cook your favourite dishes. She cleans your laundry. She cleans up after your mess etc.

SECOND YEAR OF MARRIAGE - YOU LISTEN TO EVERYTHING SHE SAYS

She gets fed up with everything she has been doing for you and starts to feel unappreciated. She starts to nag and push you all around trying to get you to do what you don't feel like doing. When you refuse to move, the tongue whip cracks and you force yourself to move. Everyday is nag, nag , nag and more nags. Bla... bla.... bla.....

THIRD YEAR OF MARRIAGE - THE NEIGHBOURS LISTEN TO WHAT YOU BOTH HAVE TO SAY

Finally you have enough of her nagging and she had enough of your attitude. Both of you decide to draw swords and duke it out. Thats when your household just became the free drama channel that Astro never ever could provide. With a long, long path of life in front of both of you, the neighbours get a lifetime of free entertainment :D This is going to be the longest period of your life and lots of people get a divorce and repeat all 3 stages many times over. I wonder why.

Basically my uncle dished out the 3 statements and the explanation provided is kinda what I perceived of his statements. But, somehow one way or another, I believe there is quite a lot of truth in those 3 statements - whether you like it or not. If you are recently married (as in less than 3 year period) which stage are you at right now?

these three statements are just too generic and superficial. i'm in my second year of marriage, and i couldnt be happier. we learn to live with each other more harmoniously everyday. our relationship is stronger than ever.

good for you :D and yes it is superficial to many out there like you who have found true happiness. but believe it or not.... this happens a lot. and for me... i know myself truly well that i am a non committal person and thus this scenario would probably apply to me if i gotten married.
