Anitbiotics that screw up your gut biome and stick you on the toilet for a couple days, ughuuuuuuuu.
Had that recently following a root canal. Granted, I didn't give up drinking for it.
Seriously, I'm happy for you, bro. I'm 38 ATM and marriage just seems like such a HUGE deal to me. Maybe I'm over-thinking the steps that are involved. Selling my condo. Moving in with her. The wedding. The honeymoon. House shopping with my GF. Am I over-thinking the whole thing? Married guys help me out here. lol
Meh, it's not so bad. For one, you can have her move into your condo. I say skip the wedding and elope. I wish I had. If it were not for her parents paying for the whole thing and a guaranteed 5 figure addition to the bank account afterward from charitable guests, I would have adamantly refused. We could have easily taken but a fraction of the money that was spent on the wedding could have had a nicer honeymoon. Speaking of which, honeymoons are awesome. Get away from it all. Have lots of sex. See something cool (we went to Italy). House shopping only really comes into play if you two want kids. At 38, do you really want to start having kids? Maybe if she's under 30, otherwise I'd advise. That's not to say it shouldn't or can't be done—my own parents were almost 40 when I was born, but then again, I have siblings over a decade older than me.
Marriage is nice. I've not been married long, but I've been with my wife (dating, engagement, etc.) for seven years. It keeps me from having to worry about being on the prowl, it provides another income (a god-given gift in NYC), and the constant company is actually nice: somewhere between loneliness and having plenty of time alone.
