Re: it\'s official
<font color="blue"> If we aren't going to take the institution of marriage seriously and give up every time something doesn't go the right way, we might as well abolish marriage completely from human society. It takes work, each and every day from husband AND wife. If BOTH sides aren't going to make a commitment for that kind of daily maintenance of their marriage, then they probably shouldn't stand in front of family and friends and make that promise in the first place.

Andy I hear what you are saying, I was raised a Catholic and it was drilled into our heads until death do us part since I was a kid.
Well my first marriage lasted 20 years. The first ten were wonderful and the next ten completely canceled the 1st ten out like they hadn't even existed. We had 2 wonderful children who are now grown.
She got it all. The house the new Cadillac and I was paying all her bills and mine too. Alimony & child support went on for 7-1/2 years, did I say it got old, or was it me? I was just thankful to get out with my sanity, I knew I could and would start over. No one can take your knowledge from you. (although she tried)
Divorce was one of the toughest things that I have ever done in my life, no joking. I got through it with a lot of prayer and moved forward. I am now re-married and hoping that I learned enough to make this marriage last forever.
I am blessed with a good, understanding woman by my side. Honey did I tell you that we need a cab for our tractor? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
I am not a bitter person. I wish my ex-wife a good life. She did re-marry just last year and I also hope they are both happy, I know both Rose (my wife) and I are.
I tried Andy, honest I did. Unfortunately things don't always end up like we plan them to.
