“There are some FReepers who like to bleat that they have been married multiple times...”
After I wrote my comment, I wanted to make a clarification. I am not saying that divorce is always wicked, evil etc.. I have known both men and women who divorced and to be honest.. they SHOULD have divorced. One man I know recently divorced ignored his wife’s constant infidelities until she finally left him. A woman I know suffered a broken jaw, broken eye socket etc.. till she left his sorry butt. My initial point was simply to say that the % of divorces seems high to me. I have know some FReepers and others who divorced and then found a stable, good person and remarried. **I just wanted to clarify for FR.
Regarding your post 26, I agree, some marriages should be dissolved. The participants should, though, learn from it and not continue marrying and divorcing (not that you said as such).
I have particular animus toward those, who, marriage after marriage, stand in the altar and proclaim that they will honor and cherish this person til death do they part, knowing damn well that they have failed to do so in the past and, I suspect, know deep down that they really aren’t sure they’re going to fulfill that holy promise.
I was so lucky as to find my life partner with the first proposal I ever made. Mrs. OP and I have now been married for close to 43 years.
