first marriage i had a PA that lasted 3 months. i woke up from lala land and realized i wanted to try. i had a drinking problem at the time and actually went sober the entire length of the remainder of the M. Tried DB, but it ended in D (obviously). she changed and wanted to just escape the situation and never forgave me until about 3.5 years after the D, when we sat down and spoke during my final alimony payment.
