You know I was just beaten on you!! Marriage is a real job and I've had my ups and downs and not just in bed for 40 years now!! My brother has been married three times and has lived with his girlfriend for 23 years and refuses to get married. He's 70 and says he's not giving half his stuff away again. At a certain age it's hard to find someone that isn't just looking for a free ride to the end. Getting married for the sake of getting married is a sucker's bet. Do your thing and enjoy what you have, I know I would!!

A preacher once told me, "The only thing worse than not having a wife is having the wrong one."
 
A cousin got pregnant at 19. Her father insisted she marry the young man she had been dating. My uncle was warned by the young mans family to reconsider letting her marry him
The couple moved away had the baby.
After some years my aunt got a phone call from a family friend, the husband was beating his wife on a regular basis.
I have no idea why my cousin never called her family.
The pos husband liked to hit girls but his temper stoped with females.
They divorced. I wont say much but I will say she will never be a victim again.
The door in life swings both ways.
Ive met and known many couples who separated and divorced. Some got married to young and drifted apart, others just wanted something more. Some have children and are civil to each other, even friendly.
Others were in abusive situations, infidelity or addiction issues, gambling or just to selfish.
Men or woman, take your pick
 
Still remember Mom saying, "If God expected men and women to live together, then he sure must have a sense of humor." Don't know if that was her own idea, or some quote she picked up along the way.

After she died of cancer, we found a handwritten note of hers that said, "Nothing Dies That is Remembered." Never could find that quote listed anywhere, put that on her headstone.
 
I've been luckier than I think about reading these posts after four + decades of marriage to a level-headed highly intelligent lady. I played around a lot and recall some of the gals I dated that likely wouldn't have ended well if we had connected. Some wouldn't have put up with my antics and have several friends and relatives who ended up divorced some being real ugly separations. In two cases, my buddies did find their 2nd marriages great living happily together today. I was shocked when my nephew announced the end of their 7 year marriage after having two kids. Just like that his wife wanted freedom to party more with her friends (and maybe some guy not sure) and he did everything to share the chores of marriage - just a nice guy and great dad. Then go figure, another nephew in the service found his wife dead - she shot herself leaving 3 young kids behind. I don't know...finding a gal sounds scarier than hell hearing stories of weird metal issues, high maintenance, etc. and glad I've been blessed including two great daughters. I'm the one with all the bad habits that my kids thankfully didn't inherit!

Your mom must have been a very exceptional person. My condolences
 
Second marriage. Been together 20 years married for 15. I married an import. She definitely has old world values and view points. Nothing like so many of the entitled women you meet that were brought up here. I’m blessed and I know it. Still a lot of things to deal with but nothing like so many have suggested. Love her today like I loved her years ago. My brother just got remarried to a lovely import after being divorced for decades. He’s 70. There’s someone out there for everyone. Just have to willing to look to the far corners.

My wife is VN and my brothers is from Colombia. You want someone that’s old school. The newer versions are not the same. As with everything else I don’t necessarily recommend the Chinese products. The smaller the country the better. But I do recommend going that way.
 
Lucky!!!!!
I've been married for 12 years now . And within the first year I realized it wasn't for me! But I figured maybe it will get better. ...
Well I was going to pull the plug then the baby came along . I can't pull plug now I'm dealing with it for the baby ! When she turns 18 I'm out!!!!
 
Married for almost twenty-five, divorced for nineteen. Two great kids, nine grandkids. We weren't ment for each other from the beginning but we made it work until the last kid flew the nest.

After the divorce I "celebrated" for about three years then I started looking. Well the only thing I found out was there are a lot of wemon, my age group at the time, going through the "change". It's like playing Russian Roulette. After awhile I learned how to push a button or two to see if they would go off and they would. Must be a built in defence mechanism so they don't have any more kids.

I did meet a friend from school and we've been hanging out, doing things, going places, helping each other out, for eleven years now. Nothing serious just good friends. That's the way we both like it.

Don't be in any hurry Cranky!
