I know you don't like living in NYC because of how hard it id to afford a nice life style. I know I told you we could move if a better opportunity comes along. I know you said my Mom could relocate with us.

Well once we get married I will not let you live anywhere else. When you start making money, I will decide that I am going to SAHM and never work again. From the time we buy our first home I will insist that it has room for my mother and she will be allowed into our home without any boundaries.

you know how I was voluptuous when we married ? Well I will gain 75 pounds within five years of marriage. You know how you thought it was body image that prevented us from having an adventurous sex life - well you will never experience oral, never receive or give a back rub and until I get horny in my forties I will lie there like a dead fish.
I will buy more clothes than you can ever imagine and keep house like shit. I will take out credit in your name that you don't know about to buy clothes.
I will decide that our kids should go to catholic school and that you should pay for it. And when we have issues I will withhold sex as punishment for five years and expect you to stay loyal.
I think that about covers it.

I am not sexually attracted to you but i think you are a good man and we will have a good marriage. We will have sex on your terms and it usually will be good. Not great but not terrible.
After a couple of years the lack of sexual attraction will become a serious problem when you decide to become neglectful and non-communicative (except when you are being verbally abusive, does that count as communicative?) Eventually i will cheat on you. At first to fulfill my sexual and emotional needs. But later as a way to get the hell away from you.
I couldn't have told you any of this before we got married. I had no idea it would play out like this - perhaps I should have known somehow. But I didn't.

Oh man I feel bad for your SO. Real bad.

Be a grown up and live your own life. You don't need mommy anymore.

I have Daddy issues. My Dad left me when I was little, and my step-dad wasn't that great. On the upside, this means I will be an attentive father to our children - particularly our son. On the downside, when you ignore me, I'll feel this is a sign you don't love me more quickly than the average person.

I care deeply for my parents, and will always heavily consider my mother's opinion even when she is butting in. Also, I have a tendency to over-share with my mother though I'm working on it.

Just to balance the other one out a bit. I'll go first:

Even though it looks like I have it together, I'm kind of hanging on by a thread. This will become apparent after a career change and two kids, when everything will fall to pieces and we'll finally find out I have undiagnosed ADHD. We'll put things back together, but it'll always be a little more work than we anticipated.

So when I posted in the other thread, "I'm just pretending to like a neat home, and to do my fair share of cleaning and cooking. As soon as we're married, I'm not doing any of it anymore," I fully appreciate that I got the better end of this.
