You are divorced;I'm not and come spring,I'll celebrate by 38TH wedding anniversary. My parents and my grandparents and my great grandparents and my great great grandparents....etc. did NOT divorce each other. So maybe,just maybe my advice about marriage should be listened to. :-)

People need to marry for the right reasons and to take marriage seriously.But,nobody should stay married to someone who beats them,cheats on them,becomes an addict of some kind and ruins everyone else's lives;refusing to get help/change.Staying married to such people is the SIN,not divorcing them.

I've been called a "JEZEBEL" by a nutter on this thread,who knows far less about anything at all,than he suspects. Draconian measures for people such as that,might help the world in general. :-)

Societies' moral pendulum has swung back and forth,since mankind began.Cultural norms need to change,before almost everyone (you can never get EVERYONE to accept anything!)lets go of today's ideas;sadly. But never fear,they will change...they always do.The best we can do,is to bring up our children to do the right things and the rest of the world be damned.

re 555

common courtesy on this site stipulates that if you are going to talk about somebody behind their back, you should ping them.

You do follow rules, right? Or only the ones you want to obey?
