22 years for my hubby and I…love the story about your great aunt and uncle! Sounds like they really were great! Thanks for sharing!

You got a point there. I never thought about it that way.

Me and my boyfriend are about to hit 5 years of being together (marriage is nowhere near our minds yet because we are still in college) and yet I was told by my boyfriend’s sister-in-law’s grandmother (lol apparently her family is very religious) that my boyfriend and I would be going to hell if we kept having pre-marital sex. (we never even brought it up, she brought it up because we sleep in the same room). And yet, the irony is that all her daughters have gotten married because they got pregnant, and now they’re all divorced and with different spouses. Anyways, I felt like ranting about that as soon as I read this comment.

My parents were married 35 years, ending only when my mom died of lung cancer this January.

My parents must be the freaks down the street, 36 years of marriage last month. They did separate for a little bit before having kids, but even if you only count the years after that, 30 years is nothing to sneeze at.

Real cake-taker has to be my great aunt and uncle though- she married straight out of secretary school, and he had just gotten an engineering degree, and according to all of their friends they were absolutely smitten- but they stayed that way, flirting and teasing like newly-weds year after year. They stayed together for ~70 years until my great uncle died two years ago, at ~92 years old.

Are you sure they’re all that normal?

After all, Samwise Gamgee was raised by Gomez and the “Identical Twin Cousins”, and his fawning over Frodo in the movie was so over the top for a straight character (Sam does marry Rose, in the end), that TNT was playing commercials for the Trilogy, using Sam & Frodo footage and the song “Secret Lovers”….

But, seriously, I envy the Addams and Munster families, considering the freak brother and sister-in-law I have that are constantly screaming at each other, insanely jealous and paranoid-level suspicious, and doing their damnedest to drain my mother dry to support their addictions, after killing my father from the stress of doing him the same way.

That’s Carolyn Jones, the TV Morticia. She doesn’t look at all like Anjelica Huston, the movie Morticia.

Stop looking for him, honey. I quit looking 25 years ago…too busy, demanding job, school, sick parents – all that pesky “life” stuff. Next thing I knew my “hobby-buddy” and I were celebrating 20 years of marriage! Your Gomez is probably in your life already, you simply may not recognize him.

You know what’s funny? My husband and I being the “freaks” of his family, living together for 5 years before getting married, pre-marital sex… and yet the one whose marriage ended in a nightmare and was pretty much a joke the whole time was the one that went perfectly by The Book. I think you have to a “freak” these days…

I used to LOVE watching the Addams Family and The Munsters. Used to have a book of the original Addams Family cartoons, too. My favorite is still Pugsley and Wednesday building a roaring fire in the fireplace, while Mortitia and Gomez watch, hidden, saying “how sweet… they still believe in Santa Clause!”

I guess I’m one of the freaks down the street. Married for 21 years. Yes, to the same guy.

After having grown up on nick at nite reruns of The Addams Family and The Munsters, I can definitely say my concept of a healthy relationship is skewed, but very satisfying. Fittingly, one of my long-standing nicknames is Morticia and I have a super loving and romantic boyfriend who is into dark stuff. I <3 my Gomez.

My parents are now married since 22 1/2 years
Still REALLY happy and in love
they can’t be apart for long and work even together
Married after less than 20 weeks!

No one thought it would last…

But they are both a bit crazy and all my friends love them!

Still, the Addams family were great! In all versions!

I’d have been married for the last 9 years… if my girlfriend’s social security caseworker hadn’t threatened that they’d take away her SSI medical benefits if she got married to someone who actually had a job… even though the job’s medical insurance really doesn’t cover the medications she’s on…

Ah, government… it’s really there to help you.

This is progress? -ive?

There is NOTHING wrong with the Addams Family. I wish they were my parents! They are most certainly not freaks.

Freaks? They’ve got nothing on the nut jobs who live in the apartment complex across from my house… sometimes I feel like I live across from the Domestic Violence capital of Indiana…

The Addamses and the Munsters — mom and dad nuts about each other, extended family under same roof, kids that got along … what’s not to like here?

And Rando, my congrats too — it can work if you want it to and put some effort into it.

Who says I can’t? 11 1/2 years, baby! And they said it wouldn’t last. No really, they said it wouldn’t last.
