Divorce on the rise UK

Marriage contacts should be negotiated like football contracts with yearly transfer windows. It would make great TV.

"Were just hearing Dave has been released on a free after his missus was caught banging Steve behind the bins outside the pub. We go over to reporter outside the dog and duck for further details..."
The rags being the desperate old pisshead telling everyone in the pub how they used to be 'the man' and hitting on any woman with a pulse?
 
I was very fortunate enough to have been brought up in a household where my parents were married and committed to each other. They’re 55 years married next July.

My marriage lasted 4 years. Pitiful! I thought I’d be able to replicate my parents, but no.

The company my ex and I used is called quicky divorce.com. That tells you everything about how easily people come out of a marriage rather than work at keeping it going.

Hahaha sounds like a classy outfit that. A trading name of Better Call Saul?
 
Been married and divorced twice.
First time at age 18 to someone who turned out to be a nutter (it lasted just over a year), second time aged 35 and it lasted 12. Just complete incompatibility with that one, although the split was amicable in the end.

I find it incredibly hard to live with anyone 24/7 if I'm honest. Prefer my own space.

Yet I look at my Aunt and her husband, 58 years married, and still very close and happy. Soulmates. However, I think this will become more rare. People are much more demanding these days and less inclined to compromise

Ha. Likely!
I just left it up to her to sort out, the stupid **** that she was and undoubtedly still is. I laughed when the letter dropped on my hallway.
 
Maybe marriage isn’t actually the answer.

Me and mrs marsbar have been together 5 years now. Not married but we’ve lived together for 4 years and very happy together.

We probably will get married and we joke about calling each other wife and husband etc but neither of us are in a mad rush to actually do the paperwork.

Pretty normal these days I think? We’re both in our 30s.

Different eras and generations. My folks met on holiday but lived very far apart. They courted using love letters. Built up there love for each other and took their time.

Everything is instant now. You can get to know enough about someone to commit within hours with instant communication. That goes for rows and arguments too. Instant communication is very detrimental where such things are concerned. Everything said in the heat of the moment, no break from each other when it’s needed.

It is just a piece of paper at the end of the day. You’re already committed with your living arrangements. It was quite odd with my marriage. Everything was good until after the marriage. After that it went as bad as it could have.

6 years with my current partner. She has a backbone and a fight in her. I know I will be with her for the rest of my days. We have no desire to marry. Both been there and done it.

What does annoy me a bit is the fact I’m in my 50s and no wedding ring. People must look and think no bastard must be able to stand me lol.
