Everyone thinks that they know what marriage will be like, but the truth is less exciting than Hollywood would have you believe: now, instead of doing the same mundane things you used to do by yourself everyday, you have a partner doing their own same mundane things with you.
Did you just fart, or is that the dog? Inspired by this Huff Post article, we've decided to add to it with questions and comments like this one, to make an ultimate “married life in a nutshell” collection. Which one sums up marriage best? Make your voice heard. Vote!

At least you aren't the one who has to sit in the pee or fall into a toilet bowl, who wants to have to clean someone else's pee off of them at 3 a.m.? Ick!

Lid always down. Then it's always fair and consistent and no fecal matter floating around and landing on your towel and toothbrush!
Except this isn't just a "marrieds" issue... EVERY time my brother comes over.... WHAMMO..
As easy it is lift it up, it's also to put it down. And I guess there is two different users in the same toilet. Why it should be only male who need to touch to the seat? At least I have learned to put it down, by my self. And after me, he needs to lift it up. Sounds fair for me, isn't it?
then again, we have a big dog in the house and the lid is always down or he will drink from it.
Two daughters here too :) The third one is a boy, but we still outnumber them ;)

As a man, sitting to pee can be a life changer. Though chances of falling asleep on the toilet increase tenfold.
The first year we were married, my husband was great about putting the seat down, I only had a few impromptu 3am butt baths.. But after a few months we got our first cat, a pregnant stray I insisted on taking in, we caught her drinking out of the toilet. We were worried about what she was going to get to, so the last 15 years my husband not only puts down the seat, he puts the lid down too. Works for me.
oh, no, mine's so 'sweet' because doesn't want me to fall in , so at night, he doesn't lift the seat.
Equal rights is for women like no.9 for the guy with the cat. It works only if it suits them. As usual.
It's not exactly equal rights we're asking for, it's common courtesy for your partner. If it matters to them, why does it have to be woman vs men? Not every godsdamn thing has to be a big freaking deal! If your only reason for keeping the lid up is because you see it as a men's rights cause, keep viewing your marriage that way, see how long your marriage lasts. You hopefully love your wife? Want her to be happy? Then grow the f**k up! Trust me, she's doing plenty of nastier, harder things to make YOU happy.

Screw that, you guys are spoiling them, my husband puts them in the dishwasher and even empties it periodically

I don't know that that's a "married people" issue. It's just a "this person is a slob" issue.

*husband: asks wife where clean underwear is. Wears dirty/no underwear until wife has washed some

That's why we color-code stuff in our house. If it's pink or purple, it's definitely not mine. Even though I like purple.

Don't ever have to worry about that one. He doesn't even know how to use the washing machine!

No problem there. He has a foot on his side of the bed... I have a foot on my side of the bed and the dogs take up all the space in the middle!

Me: "Are you hungry?" He: " Maybe" Me: "Make one sandwich for me too!"

I used to drive my hubs crazy, wanting to pop his occasional black head, but after getting surgery on his testicle through his pelvis he got an oddly healed scar. You can't see it unless you're up close, and so for a few years we'd be fooling around, and start heading south, and come across a huge blackhead, and instead of what he was expecting when I headed down there, I'd start working on the blackhead. I had a compulsion about it, and it always killed the mood. So I'd try to stop, but compulsions aren't easy to break away from. And at some point I started doing it when I wasn't in the mood and he was being annoying, really annoying.. Worked out until he caught on and started removing the blackhead before trying to remove my bra. Now we've agreed I can do whatever I want to his blackhead, as long as I was completely topless the entire time... Goes to show you, compromise is the second most important part of a successful relationship... Lol love being first of course.

I'd have said compromise and loving someone more than you love yourself, or anything else (not counting kids, which are generally products of your love). Hard work is important too. Maybe it's because I have the most f****d up family, so I only had those (largely failed) marriages to learn about how to make it work. One thing I noticed is none of my relatives were ever willing to back down, say they were sorry, or compromise in any fashion. And none of the adults from my childhood are still together. Mom & dad #3, granny & gramps from childhood, or gramps she left him for when I was 10. Neither of my uncles are with the aunts I grew up with.

I have four kids and I don't spend $1k at Costco. Then again, if I didn't have four kids, I would have $1k to spend at Costco!
My marriage life- Husband- don't forget to push your chair in love. Wife- why? Husband- so you don't run into it later. Wife- That's NOT going to happen! Do you think I'm clumsy or something?! *10 minutes later* Wife- OUCH DANGIT!! Husband- what happened?? Wife- I don't want to talk about it.....
You don't have to be married to have these problems :p my boyfriend aren't even married yet, we live together and have the same problems
My marriage Me: him, will you take the trash out? Husband: in a minute *next day* Me: can you get the trash out now? Husband: yeah, I'll do that *3 days later* Me: Are you ever going to take the trash out? Never mind...I'll do it! Husband: why do you always have to nag?
You know when Dexter has his victim on the table and the victim says something and Dexter pokes him in the third eye, enforcing that he is in charge.... Thats what we do when we cant decide who is boss... whomever pokes the other first on the forehead is boss for the day.... I usually win!!! #smallvictories
My name are DAN Anelos, my life became devastated when my husband sent me packing, after 8 years that we have been together. I was lost and helpless after trying so many ways to make my husband take me back. One day at work, i was absent minded not knowing that my boss was calling me, so he sat and asked me what its was all about i told him and he smiled and said that it was not a problem. I never understand what he meant by it wasn't a problem getting my husband back, he said he used a spell to get his wife back when she left him for another man and now they are together till date and at first i was shocked hearing such thing from my boss. He gave me an email address of the great spell caster who helped him get his wife back, i never believed this would work but i had no choice that to get in contact with the spell caster which i did, and he requested for my information and that of my husband to enable him cast the spell and i sent him the details, but after two days, my mom called me
No, no and no! I am in love, respect and constant desire to be together! Lucky me!
My husband and I have been together for 15 yrs now and still like teenagers in love.. we do silly things like text each other "first" and then make excuses why who ever wasn't first wasn't first!
These posts on BoredPanda about "Everyday Mother Problems" or this Marriage Life Issues discourage people from starting a family and getting married! May be for the best! :P
This is more about how women stereotype men than about marriage. Let's face it.
these posts are facts about their partners. no one said it applies to all husbands
