When I left Germany, I had a Stateside girlfriend that liked to tell me how things would be when we were married, and I think the first part is a large contributer to why the second part never happened.

She told me that we would not have grass and I asked "You want our kids to run around and play on gravel?"

Yes.

As I mentioned in http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post339539, we also had this conversation:

"So, you would walk with broken legs?"
She said that she would.

Now, she did not want grass because she had allergies, although she could have just said "We cannot have grass because I am allergic" instead of creating law. I looked into artificial lawns, was surprised how expensive they were, and read that they only lasted 8-10 years, but hey, that is way longer than that relationship lasted!

Or any of my relationships...
