married people are boring
why is it that most people become boring as soon as they get married. in college we would watch our friends get married and then never hang out with us again. it was kinda scary. i vowed to not be like that when i got married. many of my married friends that i have now want to make plans and then have a very planned time to hang out then go home early. i guess they are more responsible than i am. i like spur of the moment fun where everyone is welcome. my single friends provide that. tonight was a very last minute plan for dinner and craziness. for all you married people out there reading this, turn off the stupid tv and go do something fun with people you love. you will be more happy. try it and see.
here come the comments
p.s. i dont mean to be offensive with post. read the comments to get a little more of what i truly mean about this. and yes i still love my married friends... sometimes

pfft, i didn't lose my spontaneity with any of my marriages.
We don't lose our spontaneity with marriage . . . .
it is with children that the spontaneity gets lost.
It is with chidren and our 8am-5pm jobs, and our house cleaning, landscaping, PTA, soccer, gymnastics, dinner making, lunch packing that we lose our spontaneity. It is with all that that when we FINALLY get to sit down and relax at 10pm that we turn on the TV and fall asleep, only to wake up and do it again the next day.
I am NOT complaining, mind you. I love my life, my husband, my children, my job, the soccer games, the gymnastic meets, etc. I do miss being spontaneous and fun, and YES, not so boring.
Guess it takes all types to make the world go round. And thank the Lord for the spontaneous, fun, unpredictable type such as you - my son and I are really looking forward to going to see you when you are in North Carolina!
i agree with you! Jason and I are always ones to want to hang out and do things, we haven't settled into that old married couple routine yet and we personally don't understand it. Its been five years for us and I love our marriage's sponteniety (spelling is probably wrong but oh well) its hard to find people to hang out with though because most of our friends are married and most with children and they seem to have gotten drawn into that old married couple routine, so we just find whoever, and whenever and try to make the most of it! wish we lived closer to you guys sounds like we'd really like hanging out with you and Auny!
Spontaneity is my middle name. A few weeks ago Jake was out of town and my dad called early Sat. morning. I had no plans for the weekend and he suggested I fly home. 15 min. later I was on my way to the airport.
Jake and I have also been known to make spur of the moment day trips to Atlanta.
For more proof of spontaneity please inquire within.
If it's fun on the run you're looking for...call the McD's. We're up for anything! :)

I was just as boring before I got married.
mostly who i am talking about are those who are young and married without kids. i cant even imagine how much kids slow someone down. the point i am trying to make is, remember your friends and dont get sucked in to a life of solidarity. dont let the tv become your new social partner
I wasn't offended in the least Brock! I really do miss my spontaneous, fun, do what I wanna do when I wanna do it life. I plan on getting it back in about 14 years when my youngest graduates High School! Until then, I live vicariously through my single or childless friends, and blogs/lives such as yours.
I agree with vail. I sooo love my children. But you have to have a schedule and it depends on what they are involved in. And when I do have a free night I just want to stay home and do nothing!!
YES!!! i'm totally agree with you!!!
that's what i tell to my boyfriend. He want to get married until he got 30, because he think that the party will over.
He think that because all his family is like that, They get married and just go to work and to sleep. No friends no parties no anything.
But i think that marriage make even better the lives. And more fun... Well, that's how i think. Because you can do everything with your partner. Travel, live together, share, consent... and so much thinks you can't do when you are just your girlfriend or boyfriend.
The childrens take you out a lot of time. That's true.
And i want to spend time just with him. Not thinking in have childrens because my procreate time is finishing.
Then my childrens will got high probabilities to have a lot of troubles.
hmm.... ¿?
For the record, Scott was just as boring before he got married.
It all depends on your perspective on relationships and how you value them. Steve an I have been married 7 years, have a 2 year old, and one on the way, and we still value our single, and married friends alike. It's finding people who value friendship over schedules, and tv shows during the week that has been difficult. Regardless of how people may respond to our spontaneous desire to hang, we still try to make the effort-and make it work with or without our kids.
Well, I don't know if I really buy all the comments from married people on here that claim that they're the exception to the Married People are Boring rule. My married friends all think they're the exception . . . and they're not.
