another divorce

so my mom and step dad are getting a divorce, no biggie here, i saw it comming a long time ago. their dual military, and rarely ever spend more than 3-4 months together before one has to go somewhere for temporary duty. i really don't have any bad feelings toward him, this is his 4th wife, and he's probably got some lady in the philipines (June-Nov) ready to marry him as soon as the paperwork goes through. my moms ok, she's not gonna dwell on it, big opportunities in her career for her.

the only problem i have that that its tuesday night, and i can't watch my damn tv show! the shield is the only show, besides nip/tuck that i watch faithfully every week, but i can't now b/c my step dads on the couch sleeping. can someone tell me what happens?

Your parents are getting divorced, and all you care about is a TV show?

What the fuck?

mom and step dad. not mom and dad. step dads are roughly equvalent to cable repair men that hang out a lot...

The Shield is the shit, I am so hooked on that show, have been ever since their first season, as for the divorce that shit can be rough

Sounds like your mom isn't going to have any issues with it so it sounds like its for the best.

Nothing like another worthless marriage :rolleyes:

Sounds strange coming from me, but marriage can be a good thing. You just need to have the right person, is all.

It also sometimes takes many tries to find the right one.

Heh heh, yeah, it may take a few tries, but all them weddings might get a touch expensive. :lol2:

MOVE the TV:sly:...that's if u can:biggrin:

With the staggering divorce rate, I encourage people to put more time and energy into preparing for married life. It pays off. Lots of people find themselves in situations that are less than ideal, these days. I require the couples I assist to give me at least six months (and usually, more than a year) to help them get ready. I know that this may sound crazy, but there is a whole spirituality of marriage which is truly romantic and up to the challenges of modern life...it requires great personal sacrifice, but that's what love is. I think love is ultimately "no" to self and "yes" to another. Just my :2cents:

And very worthy 2 cents they were.:thumbsup: Too many people these days treat marriage as just a convenience, a legal tool.

I think the divorce rate on 1st marriages is up in the 60-70%s and second marriages are in the 40%s

someone wanna help me out with those stats?

Well, from the sound of your post, it sounds like this won't be as rough as it could be. Good luck. I do have a question for the people who have been married. This may be a stupid question, but at the time you did get married, did you honestly, truly feel like there was nobody else out there and that person was the one person you want to spend the rest of your life with? I understand that things and people change over time, but with the incredible divorce rate, sometimes I wonder why people get married in the first place.

Since you asked...
I have been married nearly 11 months, not long I know.
No one else out there? Not really. I don't so much go for the "one perfect partner for every person" theory. I think there are lots of people that a person could be happily married to.
Want to spend the rest of my life with my husband? Yes, absolutely.
I just was at a point where I thought "a relationship can't possibly be better than this!". My husband and I get along so well. We finish each others sentences and have cute little nicknames for each other, and all that other stuff that annoys the crap out of everyone but us.
Of course, marriage is not all lovey dovey - there is also the element that you're living with another person with different habits, values, etc. from you. So you can expect disagreements now and again. It's all about how you handle them.

Of course, I have only been married a short time. I'm probably angering the veteran married folk.....Ask me again in 25 years. Hopefully I'll answer the same.

:redface:"Most recent numbers indicate that 52 percent of all marriages end in divorce. The divorce rate forFIRST marriages is about 37 percent. The divorce rate for SECOND marriages is about 63 percent. The divorce rate for THIRD marriages is about 78 percent."

the divorce rate is probably higher now:sly:

wow... i was off

A former coworker was on her third marriage at 26. I just wonder, by that point, how do you say the vows without cracking up?

:sly:Dr Phil can help her out there...:p

I was with my soon-to-be ex-wife for 5 years when we got married. our marriage lasted a whole year!!!! I did want to spend the rest of my life with her until i caught her sleeping with another man. Now I'm glad shes gone. I now realize how much better off I am without her. All I'm waiting for now is the divorce to be finalized. And for her to disappear off the face of the earth. It's amazing how you can go from loving a person so much to wanting them dead.

And it's one of the most painful transitions ever. :(
