What he finks about polygamy
Scene: Mr Fink and I both work downtown and our little 10 minute commute is one of the favorite parts of my day. This conversation happened on our way to work.
Me: You know, I’m really grateful for our relationship.
Him: Mmmm.
Me: I’ve been reading some blogs lately that talk about relationship problems people are having. It seems a lot of couples argue a lot. Did you know that? They argue or can’t come to decisions on things together or one of them is pouty and quiet and the other obsesses about why they’re being pouty and quiet. It seems so tiring.
Him: Mmmm.
Me: I feel really bad for them. It sounds like the kind of relationship angst I went through when I was younger, you know? All that worry and insecurity and heartache.
Him: Mmmm.
Me: I’m starting to think that there actually aren’t a lot of people out there like us. I mean, people who are just… I dunno… happy. Uncomplicated. Who laugh as much as we do and just… you know… enjoy each other.
Him: Well if you let me have multiple wives, there could be more.

I love you Mr Fink. Thanks for a lovely Valentine’s Day. And no, you can’t go marry more wives. (I’m selfish like that.)
My name is Kasia Fink and nothing makes me happier than finding goodness. This is a collection of my findings... I mean, finkings.
I totally agree with you about the complicatedness of a lot of people’s relationships. So tiring and angsty. On polygamy… I don’t blame you for being selfish. I am, also.
Awesome Rob……just awesome! Kasia..totally agree
Hahahahaha! So funny!
I think laughter is so important in a relationship. My husband and I fight on occasion, but we can always laugh together. Sometimes in the midst of an argument. It shows that we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
i completely agree!
i’ve found there seems to be a tie with the type of marriage people have and the age they got married. everyone i know who got married in their early and mid 20′s seems to have that love/hate relationship. i cringe when they talk shit about their husbands, i can’t imagine ever wanting to marry someone i’d feel that way about. my husband is amazing and we’ve never had a “fight”… i definitely think it’s worth waiting until you’re older and more mature to marry. so worth it (for me at least : )
Ha. That is so something my Husband would say. And I completely agree with you about the being happy thing. I think it’s easier to write/blog about the negatives not the positives.
I wish my relationship was uncomplicated and untiring… but unfortunately, even though we laugh and we are happy… he’s a complainer. Intense even.
But you love them for the good and the bad… right?
But ya, I wish it were simple. I’ve never had complicated before. Until I met the hubs.
Yet I stayed. Love – it does things to you ;)

My husband and I don’t fight either. We disagree sometimes, and we get frustrated with each other sometimes, but we’re good at talking through things early and often. That way, nothing ever simmers long enough to boil over. :)
