"I'm due with my first in April, and this very question is the thing I worry about the most! My husband and I get along like peanut butter and jelly most of the time, and we've had a really fun 6.5 years just the two of us. We've weathered some pretty decent challenges and come out great on the other side, and I feel so confident about our relationship as it is. And now we've decided to add a brand new personality into the mix in the form of an infant! I hear all these horror stories about moms who can't stand their partners and I've seen my friends get all weird about letting their partners help with the baby, etc., and I'm terrified that somehow there is this lurking demon inside of me that will come out as soon as the baby is born and all of a sudden my marriage will become like all the marriages on sitcoms and for the first time ever we'll yell at each other and snip at each other all the time.

I've never understood having a kyd to save a marriage...it seems like the very best way to remove any last shred of fond feeling between two people. Most people have kids without putting the slightest thought into what it's actually like to have to put up with them 24/7.

I think that actually loving the person has a lot to do with it. I have been married to this last one for two years and I have yet to feel any sense of impending doom, he doesn't annoy me, and I am actually happy to hear him turn the front door lock rather than have that dull, nagging, bubble burst feeling that I used to feel when the others made it home safely. I suppose that if you truly love one another, then all of the years will have good points and not seem difficult. So, while the first year is generally the hardest, it's probably because it's still all "new" and you don't know the person well enough yet, which of course could go either way. The worst mistake in ALL of my failed marriages was lack of communication BEFORE the nuptials.

Sort of echoing one of the many great points Kim made, someone once said (and this is likely not verbatim), "Don't marry someone who you couldn't stand to sit next to on a three-day-long bus trip".I think that's pretty true.

for me i am an early bird, but i am quite happy to leave the room quietly, and put my headphones on and listen to my cd's, carry a book with me, and find myself a nice corner, and just sit and read. and not disturb anyone.
i control money, because i dont have much, never have, i know the value, i would only step up if they were spending with no thought, i am a bit of an obsessive when it comes to having enough, i do not like being broke.
i like a bit of an early night, only because i frequently wake up at 2 am and am wide awake.
i am sure if i was on the jury i would say justifiable homicide.
sometimes even if everything works, it doesnt work out
