Marital Status of FO Members

[DuanCulo]

see poll. i'm very skeptical about marriage simply because it just doesn't seem to last often these days. would like you guys with experience to share them.


for those who have been divorced, if you don't mind, could you say/explain what happened to your marriage(s) that led to the divorce(s) [what you as well as your partner each did wrong]?

what have you learned about marriage in general especially in terms of what can destroy it?

what have you learned about yourself regarding being a better partner in future relationships?

 

[DuanCulo]

the other option is for those who may have been widowed etc.

Every single one of these perverts is single, and if they tell you otherwise, they're full of shit. :thumbsup:

Since I'm a sexual degenerate, and NOT a pervert....I think you can believe me.

Married once, still married, going on 15 years, this August. Believe me, sometimes it really isn't fun, and sometimes it wears on your very last nerve, but I'm very glad, and lucky to have my wife, and to be able to spend my life with her.

People get divorced for a lot of reasons. Personally I think no one should get married if they even view divorce as an option, like saying, "Well if it doesn't work out, I can always get divorced." It's just not an option in my opinion. If you get married, you should be prepared, remember your vows, be truly dedicated to the relationship, and be in the relationship for the right reasons.

I would say that you should live with your partner for a few years before deciding on marriage, but that doesn't always work. In some ways I still believe that, but for some people it makes no difference because there's other factors in their personalities. For example, my sister was with her boyfriend for 10 years and they finally got married, had lived together for a while prior to marriage, and then a year later got a divorce. The reason is because all throughout her relationship with him she wasn't that happy, she was settling, she didn't think she could get any better than him, and she was dependent on him for things such as money, transportation because she didn't have a license, and was afraid to leave the relationship for fear of not finding her place, not finding another partner, for making the wrong decision. When she finally divorced, she moved out of state and is now happier than ever with her new life, her new partner, and has a better grasp on what she wants and deserves.

I also think that too many people get married because they subconsciously feel that it's what they're supposed to do. When everyone else around you is getting married, having kids, and settling down, it makes it seem like that's what people are supposed to do, so some people might get married because they feel pressured to do so. You shouldn't do something because it's what's normal, you should do it because you really want to for your own reasons.

Also, don't let other people's failed relationships set an example for your own decisions.

Aww. That's so sweet.

I couldn't agree more.

Wow, congratulations.

As for the person I'm in love with saved my life. I was crossing the street, I was almost hit by a car, and then we talked, the whole thing just seemed like a dream. This person is different, they're incredible. They're just like me, they talk like me, they act like me, we even order cereal in a restaurant, we even have the same initials. I finally know what I've been looking for all these years...myself. I've been waiting for me to come along, and now I've swept myself off my feet.

You're just in it because of that pact. Sadly, soon you'll realize that you can't be with somebody like you! You hate yourself!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ApolloBalboa & HappyHapyJoyJoy again.

I am so confused.

single since 2007 and dating now (and never married or divorced). Had a nice relationship that lasted three years from 2004 till 2007. But as it is said in the zodiacal theme, sagittarius men stay single a long time before meeting and getting in a stable relationship with their other half.

It's a Seinfeld reference. He met a girl (played by Janeane Garofalo) who was exactly like him. They got engaged because they had so much in common, then broke up because they both realized that they hated themselves and couldn't be with someone who reminded them of, well, them.

 

[Mr_Stiffy]

Single for nearly three years after a four year relationship. Prior to that, single for five years. Feels fairly terminal now.

Where's the "Married and would massacre a kindergarten population for a divorce" poll option?
