Been single since 97 and I couldn't be much happier. My X gave me an ultimatum. She said if I go deer hunting that she wouldn't be there when I got home. LOL I told her to lock the door when she left. She obliged.

Ive got a guy I went to high school with(we grad in early 90s, and I mean early lol). He round track raced all his life, while he dated his future wife and after the marrage. Last year she told him to give up racing or she was gone, he told her that racing was here first and had seniority......
Ive been married since 97 and like all relationships have had situations that didnt go smoothly but, with all parties involved working together toward a common goal, all is well and will continue to do so. A relationship is like a checking account, deposits and withdrawals. You put in more than you withdraw you have a positive balance, you withdraw more than you put in you have a negative balance. This goes for all parties involved in the "account".

ok so before I got married to my HS sweetheart (yup that old) I took him to divorce court TWICE then showed him the hole in the back yard where he'd be buried if he wanted a divorce... 25 years out in 10 on good behavior
you would be surprised what your relationship can get through when there is no easy out clause...just work it out or death lol
I know, not right in the head but I want what my parents and grand parents had and divorce was not an option... so for 21 years we have been together (married 10) guess we did something right...

Dont know about what happens behind closed doors but I do remember I vowed for better or worse. Dont remember anything about loop hole clauses but do understand there is cause for divorce. Spousal abuse, infedelaty and one sided relationships are a few that just wont work.

HAHA, I dated a girl for 4 years. Got back from submarine life overseas, and the first thing I said was I am going to the Honda shop to buy a new bike and wheeler instead of seeing her. I mean she didn't even come to see me w/ my Parents as the boat pulled in. Well I got home, got in my sweet truck, and picked her up (hoping for some fun on the 30 mile trip to the shop) and went to Honda. She said if I got another toy w/ out buying her a ring we were done (which I actually purchased a ring a few months prior and was waiting for the dumb VDAY, as she always wanted), and also if I got another motorcycle we were done. Well, in one swift attempt to keep what was sacred to me (my manhood which has been deprived due to being on a damn submarine) and wanting only 3 things at that current time, (700XX, another 600RR and the magical thing that females have) I was trying to settle for all 3. While in the Honda shop, I walked next door to a little coffee shop, put two quarters in the gumball machine, and produced a ring for the girlfriend. It looked magical to me. Then I proceeded to buy the XX and RR, after signing the papers, I loaded the XX in the back of the truck, had to go back in a week to pick up the Bike, and then I asked her to marry me (with the toy ring). Presenting the ugly a$$ ring, she looked at me in disbelief, and I had to tell her that toys came first (as they always have) and that girls that couldn't buy their own engagement ring came last. I was thinking that there isn't going to be a girl that tells me what I can and can't buy with my own money, especially one that hasn't seen me in 9 months and can't get off her delicately proportioned bumm and make a 3 hour trek with my parents. IDK why, but she didn't want me to give her a ride home (didn't find the fake ring funny I suppose). We haven't talked since that day (and she even knows now that I had a real ring). I have to say that b/c of that, I am blessed b/c now I am dating a girl that doesn't believe in the dumb day like myself.

VelociRaptor I agree there are causes for divorce, abuse is a big one.

When I got engaged to my X, I went all out and designed our 3 ring set myself... all three rings had 5 stones each. 3 sapphires and 2 diamonds with the sapphires being the center stones... and then had them custom made. About a month after picking up the rings from the jewelery store, the jewelery store went out of business... and never sent me any kind of notice for the rest of the money I owed on the rings... about $2,600.00 in 1970 money. When I got separated, I got the 2 rings back from my wife and sold them. I took the money and went and got myself a brand new VW squareback and had enough left to take a trip. Had lots of fun in the squareback... until I got back together with my X and she wrecked it.

Roadkill that is funny. The ring I bought was a engagement/wedding band all in one. Like they slide into each other. I bought them in Bahrain, which is one of the blood diamond capitols of the world, they have two malls there dedicated to only jewelry (the GOLD MALL and the GOLD SOUK), so my $740 dollar ring there (in US money) turned out to be worth $3927 here in the states. I still have it, waiting for the price to go up. But when I went back there after finding out how much of a difference there was, I spent $3k on a bunch of different items of jewelry, and even bought a brick of gold. It is all locked up safely now awaiting for the day when I want something really nice (perhaps a new F150 Raptor).
