Don't bitch it's not steak- cause you settled for hamburger....And in my marriage (now ended :) I found out that he DIDN'T want to do those things.

And then I decided, I really did have a hankering for steak and since then, we'll I'm single- though Ross and I have been together 5 years. Marry him? Ohhh, somedays I thnk about it. And then I think I just really want the diamond ring.
