What’s the secret to each?

I’m weeks away from my divorce of a marriage that lasted 5 years legally, but in terms of being together, 3 at best. Bizarrely pre marriage, we were untouchable.

I know of couples who have been together 20+ years, career freaks who can provide their spawn with anything they want, but it’s known there’s been nothing between them for years. It’s all just so they can show ‘perfect parenthood’ and nothing more.
First two, no idea. Last one is easy.....avoid dying.

As it goes, I’m now with a girl who is my equal. We live apart, always will do. We spend our weekends and free time in the week together. I wonder if I’ll risk that for the above??

So, the secrets to the thread title??

It's a doddle. Never understood this nonsense about having to work at it. If that the case you are thinking way too much.

Go with the flow. Treat each other with respect. Be normal. Surely that was what got you together in your first place

Definitely this. I've had relationships where I've been constantly working at them, what's the point? I don't even have to try with my wife other than being myself and not being a prick. Also, as others have mentioned, holding your tongue and not saying hurtful things even when emotions run high. The key to any good relationship is talking things through but equally important is knowing when to just shut up and not say a word.
 
A question to the divorcees on here. Mine, I’ve just been told, is weeks away. I’m sure I’ll get something in the post. What do you do with it? Do you keep that shit? I’ve enough in my head as a reminder of a failed marriage, so a piece of paper I don’t really intend on keeping.
I’ve akso noticed ‘divorced’ option when completing forms, insurance etc. Fucking point of that? Who wants to declare that shit? Surely now it’s over and like it never happened you’re just classed as single again? Legally i mean?

I think being divorced means that you can claim sympathy fucks as a right and that you will be penciled in for keeping old relatives company at Christmas so that 'unbroken' people can have a good time.

But don't quote me on that mate.

You will like this one Pigeneo - on my second divorce Mrs WW 2 - was the petitioner (as they all have been) and all that (it remains one of my proudest moments that she quoted that "I abandoned her at Boundary Mill Stores without notice to go and watch Manchester City and she was left without any money or transport to much distress") anyway about 3 years after we separated I asked her when were we getting divorced with the Decree Absolute - she informed me that we had been divorced 8 months absolutely and she cried the whole day when it came through and she was utterly disgusted that i was not aware and that my not knowing we weren't still married just confirmed that she had made the right decision.

I don't believe to this day I have seen any of my marriage certificates, divorce documents or anything.

In fact I am probably a serial bigamist.
