damian 0 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 marriage.... Mogski, best to gather advice from those who are. Listen to Ocean et al. I was given some advice once at uni. A knew a big Tongan guy that had a habit of making up stupid stories that you never knew if you should believe. He usually wore a sarong. We were at the bar, he was wearing his skirt as usual. No one ever teased him about it, thats for sure. Sorry, off topic... at the bar we were and he tells me about his wife back in Tonga. He did not see her often but explained why he wasn't worried about her misbehaving. In fact, he was confident that their marriage would last a life time and he would always be happy. He then proudly told me his secret, which he indirectly claimed to have done. After the wedding and before bed (and all that follows) he said you should slap your new wife in the face as hard as you can to show her who is boss. From then on all you have to do is raise your hand and she will remember who wears the pants. I told him he was yet again full of shit and was a skirt wearing Tongan. I could do this as I was his buddy. Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted April 21, 2003 Share Posted April 21, 2003 Funnily enough my Grandmother recently gave me similar advice. She wasn't big on the slapping thing but was certain the only way to make a marriage last was to be in control and show your wife who's the boss. God love Grandma! Link to post Share on other sites

ug 0 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 3 months salary? Is that a tradition? And if it is.........why??? Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Well, in Japan, if you can establish something as 'kimari' - 'that's just the way it is mate', then you're laughing. Especially if you own a jewelry shop and the mugs come in expecting to fork over a huge wad of money that would be better spent on a holiday or some nice beer. It's also a 'kimari' that after 10 years of wedded bliss you buy your missus 'sweet 10 diamonds'. Funny that - it's just the way it is. Link to post Share on other sites

snowboard_freak 0 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 When/If i feel the need to buy a ring for someone I'm certainly not going to be spending 3 month's salary on it, thats for darn sure!! And just for the team......... Link to post Share on other sites
Markie 0 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Methinks, I'm just the kind of idiot to splurge obscene amounts on the person I'm crazy about. In fact, if I never had any girlfriends, I could retire right now. If I ever get married, the misses is getting an audacious ring whether she wants it or not. "Pamper and spoil" is my philosophy.

Markie 0 Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Methinks, db is a hard talking but soft hearted guy and he ain't never slapping his babe. Also, methinks Mogski can say whatever he likes now, since he seems set for life....in his own words:"I'm a happy man!". Link to post Share on other sites

enderzero 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 BTW - I have heard the American rule of thumb (at least in the 90s) was an engagement ring should cost 2 months salary. The wedding band, which is actually worn and not just kept in a box, is usually considerably less expensive. Link to post Share on other sites

Fattwins 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Zwellie move to any Canadian Ski resort and youll be married before the seasons over. Off topic My Tokyo friend came to visit with her new boyfriend. The dude questioned me about her past forever (8 years ago). He scared me with his reactions. Thanking me for giving him ammo on his girl. The girl only kissed a few guys when I knew her (8 years ago when she lived in the same dorm as my wife)"she was young and pure and couldnt be got" I said about 5 times. finnally after dane and I drank the 2nd double to-kill-ya shot, I said something that he didnt want to hear. I was drunk and tired of the grilling "I said I kissed her once 8 years ago, before I got together with my wife". dude wanted to fight me on the spot. The Tokyo friend got him out of the bar and I hope I never see that guy again. He struck me as a beater, from the moment I got to talk to him about my friend. Link to post Share on other sites

mogski 0 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 If anyone from this forum kissed my GF I wouldn't fight you. I would seek out your residence and trash your sliding gear, burn your Goretex, Entrant, or whatever it is you have, and lay a nice big brown one in ya helmet. No point in fighting cause the results don't last long enough nor hurt where it hurts the most. BTW, completely different story if you are a girl Link to post Share on other sites
