Marriage & Boundaries
I was asked yesterday by a co-worker how long I had been married. My initial response was "too long!" My answer was not intended to imply that marriage or being married is a grind (because it is), but something had happened the night before that while humorous, is an example of how personal boundaries often get eroded over time in a marriage.

Wife was either still awake or got up nearly immediately after me to for the same reason. While I was standing in front of the toilet urinating, with the sound of a stream of urine dropping into the toilet bowl as my only guide with which to aim because my eyes were half-open and my brain still half asleep, behind me I hear her remark, "More?!
