Can Disney Save A Marriage? *Page 12/15 new posts

Have to say I agree with conandrob.

1) I dare my husband to send this to me in email - and have the cajones to not come to my room when I'm crying after - and have even bigger cajones to FALL ASLEEP. This would = cajones no more.

2) Don't talk to me until we're there in Disney? Well, after realizing the missing cajones in the a.m., I'd be surprised he made the trip anyhow.

3) Sprinkle lovey dovey things throughout the first day? I attribute this as well to the missing cajones because most men don't talk like this.
I will, however, agree with OP in that I have seen (and been party to) both clubs on the boardwalk bikes. When my 150-175 lb sister in law wasn't even bothering to pedal, you bet your bottom I was not thrilled. But the rest of us were having fun so I let it go. And I've heard the swearing aspect too. I just don't believe the analogies - I think they make for a more interesting story - which she is trying to make for our reading interest. No harm there.

I also agree on troll children. Too often parents go to Disney and forget to parent. I hope I never fall into this category!! But thankfully my hubby still has his cajones so we still have the option ;)

Its always different when it is NOT happening to you. Its easy to say what you would do, but it may be a whole different story if you were the one actually going through it. I think its sad that you feel that most men don't talk like this. Obviously, no one is talking to you this way. I have been married for 23 years and DH still tells me I am beauitful, sexy, a great mother...etc. everyday. I too, often do what the OP has done in the past and come back with yea right, honey. My favorite is when I say your crazy and DH says crazy about you:love: I truely understand what she is talking about here. The OP was ok with the delivery of how he was feeling. It sounds like perhaps it was something that needed to be said. I have a feeling this changed their relationsip for the better. I hope so. Everyone on here needs to go to there spouse/significant other everyday and tell them how special they are and how much they mean to you. You may not have tomorrw to tell them.:hug:
 
Love your writing! I won't get into the debate with the rest, just wanted to share that I am enjoying your story and love all of your observations.
 
I was actually thinking this too. I was so exciting when I read the title of this thread but I feel like its turning into a soap opera. And its not the way the writing is. Its the story line. IRL men OR women dont tell their spouse they want a divorce and then start giving them compliments. I will still continue to read because it does have my interest. And hey maybe its based on a real trip. I have heard of people going on vacation to figure out if they still want to be married. I just cant imagine ANYONE getting that kind of email and up to this point they still havent mentioned it and are going on like nothing happened?? Thats where you had me doubting.


I agree. Just doesn't pass the "smell" test.
 

Sadly, I ,more often than I would like, am reading very negative comments/attitudes toward posts. I thought this forum was suppose to be fun and friendly. Unfortunately, that is not always the case! :sad1:


:thumbsup2 to this.

I think maybe all the negativity scared her off. :confused3
 
Just a note...I did not edit my post.

A mod did without my permission.
 
First off - If it's all fantasy then its a misrepresentation.

Secondly - This is a public forum - and like any public forum if you are going to put something out there you should expect all kinds of feedback, both positive and negative.

I'm really enjoying this TR, true or not. I, for one, hope the author keeps it coming.

In light of the fact that I'm enjoying this TR, I took one look at RigLee's writing (after it had gotten huge) and knew it wasn't for me. I guess I'm getting a taste of what all of those readers experienced now though. I found hers utterly ridiculous and didn't care to give it a second thought. But rather than post my opinion there, I simply went on to a different report. Seriously, there are pages and pages of other TR's. I open plenty that don't hold my interest for one reason or another (too many/few pictures, the writing style isn't what I like, too many details, boring details, etc.). I just stop following along. It really is that simple.
 
To the OP, I'm really enjoying reading your writing and I hope you continue!

(I'm really not enjoying the negative comments, but I'm just browsing past them... wish those commenters could do the same with this trip report...)
 
Next update is on it's way in the morning. I logged in and was surprised at all the debate here and want to clear up a few things.

People can read or not, like it or not and I knew there would be both ends of the spectrum when I choose to write this.

As far as the rest of the debates go, I have wrote and erased and wrote and erased my responses but I think I will just finish the TR and let it speak for itself. There are some things that might be explained better as the vacation continues on. For those in debate of it's fact or fiction and if Derrick is an ogre or an angel, maybe your own life experiences lead to your interpretation of the events and cause some here on both sides to read into this more than what was actually written.

I will finish this TR, no matter who reads it and I appreciate all those who say they are taking even the smallest piece of our journey and trying to better their own lives and marriages.
 
Wow some of the responses to this post are really interesting. And by interesting I mean sad:sad2:. When I read a trip report I take it for what it is...a report written by someone I don't know, telling a story they want to tell, with or without the embellishments they want to give, sharing the characters they want to share, etc. For me all trip reports walk a line between fact and fiction. No one knows if someone really got the upgrade or the great meal or was hit by the pushy lady, etc. The OP has a beautiful writing style and I appreciate her sharing her story, whether embellished or not. I am in my tenth year of marriage and without disclosing too much (to be ridiculed by members of this board), I think her story rings very true and honest and I look forward to reading more.

My sentiments exactly!!!:rolleyes1

Please continue to resist commenting on the negativity. I am enjoying your report throughly and can't wait for more!
 
Where's the rest? This is the best TR yet I've read. I like the darkness it started out with and frankly don't care if it's true or not. It's (like I said) the best. I can't wait to hear more.

Me too! I hope she comes back.
