I'm terrified of posting too much of my story. One because I'm a lot younger than most of the other posters here (25), and two, because I know I screwed up royally in our marriage. Maybe I'd have left me too.


With all due respect....nonsense.

Age? Irrelevant -- hurt is hurt, love is love, marriage is marriage, divorce is divorce. I know a man who got divorced at 70, after 50 years of marriage. Didn't hurt him a bit less for age and wisdom than it did my Best Bud who was divorced at 25.

Royal screwing up? Are you kidding? Friend, this is the Round Table of royal screw-ups! This is the Congress of Berlin of royal screw-ups. We are the Crowned Heads of royal screw-up-itude. You're one of us. And HE royally screwed up, too. Because as DQ so often points out, it takes two. Need proof? You gave it yourself:
