Because some people make it.

Saw a thread elsewhere with a lot of people sharing how many years they have been married. Then just scrolled FB for the first time since Christmas, and it's that time.

26 years.




21 years.




27 years.




My would have been 26th just passed and would have been 18th is coming soon.

Congrats to the ones who have made it last.

How long did each of yours last?

lol @ marriage

Was with the first about 8 years and the second about 15 years.

ETA: entire relationship, not just married time

Nice lipstick. I think red is your color.

why did they end

1st: aspiring opera singer finally caught a break, wanted to live the single life

2nd: mid-life crisis maybe? had some long term health issues that seemed to be behind him, met someone else via a hobby/social group

It sounds like this might be hitting you hard?

The grass isn't always greener.

Do you hope to find another husband or are you happy where you're at in life and relationships?

Marriage is gay and most "happily married" people are fuking liars

you look like you should be on Esty buying bull**** and doing some **** arts and crafts.. like you clinch your purse when you see a black person. why the **** are you here

This^^^

RICH is happy being single and having his 3sums

Oh, I like cutesy sorts of things sometimes, but mostly over it.

Not afraid of "a black person", but also aware that in certain places that groups of people dressed/acting in a certain way should be avoided/treated with caution.

Where would I chat about all the varied stuff I'm interested in if not here? I'm not completely socially retarded. I have awareness about what can be shared with who and what just can't be said or shouldn't be because either the person has no interest, doesn't understand, or could get outright hostile.

Damn Kayta you can't catch a break, yourself</3 don't worry bae

I just had my 25th. I'm definitely happy married. It's not for everyone, though. I understand that.

looking cute op, but get your husband in the gym and sun

Would have been my 21.

Wait? Motherfuker trying to get me into 'Over 35 Misc' and you're in your 30's?? Shhhheeeiitiitttttt

Isn't this a little bullchit tho? What even is "going the distance"? For you, 15 years wasn't enough, so is it until death?

why dont you marry richstrong

hes obsessed with this forum and crazy like you

Both of y’all are boomers smh

Misc is only for under 30s

well i understand
why he died,in the end
he couldnt handle the OCD/ADHD
episodes.

That's a good question. How long until you have made it long enough?

Until death us do part is the traditional standard. Maybe the newer standard is until the kids are grown, or at least old enough to drive?

The longer marriages I've seen aren't all perfect or anything. I think it's more that both people are still "in" and don't quit.

- she is in her 60s, he is in his 70s...had children and raised them together, have lived in a few different places for his work, been through some financially hard times as he had a lot of layoffs in his career [engineering type, IT] and she was a school teacher...still together on their next chapter in a new state down sized into a smaller home

- another couple in their late 60s/early 70s...he was a tradie, she was a sahm then cleaned houses before training to be a physical therapy assistant which she did up to retirement, 2 daughters...at one point is was so bad she moved to NM for a while...he was physically abusive, but they patched it up and are still together

- she is recently widowed [70s], but they were married a long time, raised 4 children who all got degrees/are well employed...they had a small business together that went bust, had to pay off the debt, he was in that corporate life/engineer type and she taught HS English until both were retired...witnessed plenty of their fights/bickering as a kid, but they weren't ever nasty to each other or abusive and throughout I think they kept a good sense of humor

- widower of a 3rd marriage...still was pretty long...guess he finally got it right?; he is hard headed and bossy and can be a mean SOB + can also be an old school gentleman; I saw how he cared for her throughout her entire decline w/dementia until she passed- could never say he didn't take care of her

I could do more. I believe my one cousin has done well for himself. He and his wife are great together...they parent as a team and have good communication; 4 kids and the oldest ones are in HS.

Just marry majortendonitis

Yeah, I don't think so. Sorry major.

Your life size Terminator? I think it's safe to say we have different decorating tastes.

Is that you in the OP?
