Marriage/happiness/longevity.

[pride in battle]

In answer to the OP, I wish I knew.

My marriage collapsed after 10 years. Just grew up and grew apart. Minimal animosity, still in contact most days but predominantly around the children and logistics.

12 months later, I met someone else who I adored and would have married at the drop of a hat, but he didn't want to, and then somewhat inconveniently died before I could convince him otherwise.

No idea what the future will hold.

Blimey that's a bit shit...:(

Sorry to hear that @kaz7 , my older bro went through something similar with his ex. Hopefully you managed to move on…

Thanks , i enjoy being on my own and dont regret not moving in with a couple of boyfriends since my last divorce , i had to fight so hard to keep my home that i am not sharing it or selling it for nobody ! So long as i have a cat for company i never feel lonely, just prefer my own company

Been with my Missus 36 years and married for 35 of them, we are like chalk and cheese regarding things we like but it works somehow.

We have been together for nearly 10 years now and not one argument.

Yet you’ll get some people saying things like “ah it’s not a proper relationship then” or “ must be something wrong with the relationship if you don’t argue”, it’s fuckin absolute bollocks (as I’m sure you know already), it’s just a sign you’re very very compatible.

Been married to misses 19 years.
Do a lot together.
But also a lot apart like I go to the game and she hates football.
Best friends 95% of the time.
5% she's fucking mad.
Wouldn't swap it though best thing I ever did

 

[Blue Mist]

Never ever ever again.

They are all mad. I know you can’t say that in this day and age but it’s my experience!

One question: which match ?

 

[Centurions]

My two exes robbed me of what i always wanted, married once for fifty plus years , still holding hands walking on the seafront , that was my dream, not two divorces because they cheated amongst other things , spoiled my life those two and put me off even living with someone else let alone getting married again, i keep men at arms length . I envy you guys , a lot

We've been married 15 years but together (and living together for almost all of it) for 35 years happily, despite some other issues that have caused us serious stress Kaz. Us men can be absolute shits without doubt but there are still good ones, don't give up on the species entirely.

Been married almost 29years, wife is brilliant,I came with baggage of not only Three kid's but debt's aswell. I can safely say that I was not "The Catch of the Day!"
However, she and I worked together and have stayed together, kids All grown up as has our own daughter,debt free almost mortgage free, we enjoy life albeit on a shoestring, I owe her a lot, love her more than words can describe.

Been with my Wife just over 13 years, lived together from 6 months of us getting together, and Married for the last 6 years, we vowed to never change our relationship even though we got Married and we've stuck to that, literally had a nice Wedding Day and then carried on as we were beforehand, and still both (as far as I know) happy, we have our ups and downs and I must be hard to live and bring kids up with (I'm a workaholic because I like nice things and spend a lot of time at footy) but it seems to work for us...
