Wildlone - I quite agree, but it's a done thing now. However, am being persuaded about the bike anyway....

Matt - 22 may be a long time single, but it's an even longer time married/attached and unhappy.... A partner is not the be all and end all of a relationship. And neither is getting married the magical door to perfect harmony and bliss. The world does not stop when the ring hits the finger, you have to keep working at it. Just sitting back and expecting your self reliant, opinion sharing, beer swilling, belching farting girlfriend to turn into Betty Crocker overnight simply because you stood before a judge or a priest and said yes, ain't gonna work no matter how hard one or other of you tries. It has to be both of you, and you both have to accept that the other changes and has different requirements at different times.

Don't lose the spontenaiety, if you used to surprise her at work with a card or flowers, or jump her as soon as you got to her house (within reason.....) then do it occasionally, it will help keep interest going, and she will still feel you care about her as a sexy person, rather than a washing/cooking/cleaning accessory.
