i'm a jerk.
i've been telling all my single friends to live up the single life and enjoy it, because once you're married that all changes. Not in a bad way, it's just different. You don't get to live the carefree life that you can when you're unattached. So I think that those who are single should make the most of it, instead of pining away for married life.
That's not the part that makes me a jerk.
The part that makes me a jerk is that I've found myself pining for singlehood again. And like any other time when you want what you don't have, it makes it hard to really appreciate what you do have. I really enjoy being married, there have just been times when I wish I could have it both ways - all the stability and comfort of a happy marriage, plus the ability to cut loose and do my own thing whenever I want.
Yeah, that doesn't work too well.
It's not that I can't cut loose and have fun, but if that's my primary objective, then I leave my poor husband in the dust and it makes it really hard to be a couple if we're constantly doing different things. In this, I need to grow up. Just change my perspective a little, see and focus on the benefits of where I'm at instead of all the "good" things I've left behind.
And anyway, I better live this part up now, because once those kids come...

That's okay. Once the kids turn 3, you can put them to work...
