Quote: What bothers me the most is that even in my small community and areas near here there seems to be an epidemic of divorces between couples that have been married a long time. What has happened to the sanctity of marriage?
OMG, this is SOooo true.. I can count at least at least 3 or 4 marriages of 20 years + that blew up among my coworkers... A (well known) neighbor of mine had her (THIRD) marriage of 20 years blow up a few years back... It was his third also... He's married again now to the OW, younger,(mid 40's) thinner, blonder, taller.... Classmate of S12's parents split about 3 years ago, WAW, in fact 6 months before the bomb we even saw her and commented on all the divorces..! Lady I know will have her div. final this month, last month would have been 20 years. But in her case it was multiple affairs (his), controlling behavior, and drinking. There are a few more I can think of... sucks.
I am so sad right now b/c XW chose to not work out issues; issues that SHE repressed/ignored for years. And now wants to blame me for.
Hey Liz... I put in a req. to be on your MS friends... Cute pic!
Hang in there. H/OW will blow up eventually. And if it doesn't, trust me, you wouldn't want him back! Just remember that when it's hurtful we all say not to believe everything the WAS says... but when it's what we want to hear we're too quick to jump on the bandwagon. Don't let him suck you in w/ something he says that is no more than a throwaway line.
I lost count of how many times XW said "who knows what the future will bring" and "we can always date/get married again"
