But the truth is few young married people today will ever be the old couple sitting together on the bench. They will have run off and be sitting with new partners. Of course, when they are old, and if they sit next to each other, will we know the newly marrieds from the old marrieds?


Sara,

I hope you did not think my comments were directed at you. They were not. I have read here several exWs have said that. To me, it is insanity.

I have no idea how one can tell the newly marrieds from the old marrieds. The only thing I know is as long as Wifey and I are alive, we will be heading toward that old couple-hood on the bench. At 80, we will be married for 40 years..... Not too bad....

Take Care,

NMD
