My D12 and I were watching The Nanny yesterday. Fran and Max were getting married. They got to the "til death do us part" line, and D12 says... that's a crock of crap. So sad.
That is sad. You can tell your D12 that that is what M means, but some people choose not to honor their vows and when that happens, the people affected have to try and make the best of what they do have and try not to let it affect their own decisions later in life just because one person chose not to follow through with their vows. Not everyone chooses to honor what they commit to. It is a sad but true fact of life. It doesn't mean they should let their there decisions between right and wrong be affected down the road by what someone else chose.
It is tough on the kids and tough on the LBS trying to show that D is not the answer to problems.

You don't get it.
The marriage died.
The relationship died.
So you have 2 people going through the motions that have to stick it out till they die?
Sounds like a fun life.
What did you do to make your relationship exciting?
What did you do to make it boring?
Did you get old, fat and lazy?
Did they?
"Til death do us part" isn't a fancy catch phrase, it was descriptive of your life together, it wasn't just referring to your chronological ages & physical mortality.
