Divorce

[Cheesefood]

We're at 3+ years, but we've been living together for about 6 years. Started dating in 2000, and just hit it off so well that we moved in together about 6 months into our relationship. Six years later, we're both happy, in love and have a great kid. We get sick of each other from moment to moment, but she's been wonderful to me. I don't think I could ever find a wife who would treat me better and I doubt I'd get remarried if this didn't work out.

My wife and I have been married for just under 2 years now, though we have been "dating" - mostly long distance - since 1998. In all this time, we still have not had our first fight... I'm beginning to think that we never will. She was previously married, but this is my first marriage. I have always said that I would stay single for the rest of my life before getting into a bad marriage (I know, no guarantees) but that is why it took me until 36 to get married - had to make sure she was a keeper! My wife says that lack of communication was the biggest culprit for her divorce, and she vows not to let that happen again. Anyway, almost at the 2 year mark, (8 years total) and I feel like I am still a honeymooner!

Mrs. Monkey and I hit 16 years in August. She was married briefly when she was 18. We married when I was 22 and she was 29. Older chicks are cool. She's into horses and I'm into women who ride horses. No pun intended. Everyone says that communication is important. I must agree. Marriage is work. Try living with one of your buddies every day for a year. Not happenin'! It's a special person that you can live around day in and day out and not kill them.


The great Richard Pryor once said " It's hard to find a MF that loves your a$$ ! When you do, don't F it up !"

Wise words, but not the same with the edits.

Marriage has become disposable. I'm NOT saying that those who are divorced here didn't have good reason for it, but a lot of people get married these days without really thinking it through. I was with my wife for seven years before we got married, and by the time we did tie the knot, we already knew everything about one another and there were no surprises to deal with.
