I Deal In Lead |
Years ago I worked with a woman who had been married and divorced 6 times and she was under 40. That told me a lot about her, primarily that she married the same guy 6 times. She protested at first and said it was 6 different guys, but then she got my drift and said yes, they were all essentially the same kind of guy. | |||

I'm on my first, my wife's third marriage. We've been together for 21yrs now, so, we figured something out. My parents were big fans of the Lebanese poet Kahlil Gibran when we were growing up and that made an impression on me as a kid. My wife and I had my parents read this at our wedding and I do believe it has a lot to do with how we've made this work. We give each other a lot of space to be ourselves.

Congratulations to those who got it right the first time. Seriously. There are legitimate reasons for separation that are far beyond “space”, endurance, love and reciprocity. I wouldn’t say I chose “poorly”; because I was blessed with probably one of the best mothers for my children that I (and the kids) could ever wish for. Life sometimes only gives you really poor options and you have to sort it out for you and those you love, and then deal w the consequences. Without my prior marriage, I probably wouldn’t have children and would never know the joy that that brings. It is the most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done, and I’ve done a lot. I don’t wish divorce on anyone, especially involving children, which is a huge part of the calculus. We are human, which means we are imperfect. I strive to do better.

A co worker got a text last Thursday from his wife. "I've filed for divorce". No other explanation. Just that text. right before Christmas. Absolutely blind sided him. He looks like he got the wind knocked out of his sails.  He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. | |||

I'm on number three, been together nearly 20 years and married 17. I tell her this is either third times the charm, or three strikes and you're out. Either way, if this don't last I'm gonna buy me a dog to talk to and a real understanding sheep. Here's to the sunny slopes of long ago. | |||

I feel sad that so many people have unhappy marriages. And that there are so many people causing issues for whatever reason. I’m grateful that I can say I was able to find a great man to be with and still going strong after 35 years. We’ve always tried to be fair and honest with each other, and never say anything that would be harmful to the other no matter the argument. I just hope that all those who have to deal with divorces can find happiness and peace. If you do re marry, that it will be the right one next time, and ‘happily ever after’. | |||

This seems a common tactic and serves as a reason the marriage didn't work to begin with IMO. Only a person rotten to the core would pull a stunt like this. It is also fairly common for the men to be completely surprised by this when you know that the woman has been planning this for months...if not longer. Perhaps a little communication, starting far earlier in the relationship, would have prevented the divorce to begin with. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil."
