How any times have you been married

[mrwho]

Only once. Dated for 5 1/2 years b4 getting married, and we just celebrated our 20th a few months back. It takes work, and a Great Tech will take the time to read the manual and ask the operator what the problem is. Same is true for marriage. Communication is the key and going to marriage seminars together helps you figure out the rest. (highly recommend "Family Life Weekend to Remember".)

Attend a conference - FamilyLife.com

I personally recommend reading "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" and the sequel "Why men don't cry and Women can't read maps". I read them even before dating and, hell, you can't imagine how it gave me a new perspective on women (and it explains a lot of crap I do, too )

uggggh!

So that's it!! Been married three times. Currently separated and duking it out in court to get my kids. Beats duking it out at home, though, because less of my stuff is getting broken. I don't think I ask for much, just someone who's willing to work as hard as I do. What's with the early-mid thirties generation of women anyway? They act as if the male gender owes them something. Guess I gotta stop marrying chicks I meet while I'm playin in a band.

I've never understood why women seem to stick with guys who treat them like crap. I've seen too many friends and family go back to guys who left bruises or worse.

On the other hand I've seen women treated like a princess, who get to expect being treated like a princess and spiral right down into divorce court.

More proof women ain't never happy. Especially when it concerns men.

Or, as my wife says: If it has tires or testicles it's gonna give you problems.

I have been happily divorced for 3 years now and still think it was the best money I ever spent getting rid of her.

Had a couple of girlfriends in between now and then and guess what? They didn't work out either. lol

They didn't work out because of me not trying, but I think I just didn't have time to find someone decent in the first place, so I just grab what ever is there at the time.

But as the old saying goes "If you fall off your horse, get back up and SHOOT IT!!!"

I am 38 years old and i've never been married. I only lived with my ex-girlfriend for 1 terrible year. Our relationship was perfect before but just the second day that we lived in the same house something changed. I don't know what. Women are "strange and difficult machines" and no one will never know what they really think or have in their head. If someone has a tecnical manual about women can send me a copy?

How any times have you been married

I've never been married and I probably never will be. I can't imagine anyone wanting to live with me. I'm extremely independent, but possessive and sometimes jealous. I need at least 2 hours of me time and then I can devote attention to someone else. Nobody can live with that. Plus he's got to be practically perfect. I've never met a guy who really knocked me on my backside. I think if I did, I'd be willing to make changes. Living by yourself causes you to be more self centered, because there's no one there you have to think about.

I think that most relationships fail because both sides expect too much of the other person. We have been programmed by Hollywood that your mate should make you happy. If you're not a happy person to begin with, how do you expect your mate to make you happy? We should think about what we have to offer, what we can contribute, and put the other person first. People get married and say, "Well I've done that, I can relax now". Marriage requires constant work and attention to keep it going. You're taking 2 people from different backgrounds and putting them together. It's not going to be problem free and you can't go into it with the thought that, "well if it doesn't work out, i'll get a divorce". I'm sure those who have been married for a long time will agree with me.

Been married over 11 years and almost divorced because my wife didn't understand this, and I didn't know how to help her find it.

Happiness is a decision you have to make for yourself. Sounds kinda strange just deciding to be happy, but people make the decision to be pissed at the world all the time.

The decision isn't so much saying "I'm going to be happy" because that is doomed to a repeating cycle of failure; It's saying "This is what I've got, I'm going to do the best I can with it"

TWICE MARRIED

For over twenty years I been married to two only. First one was analogue; we devoced when I went vogue. Now I am married to digital and we have a little house to the west of analogue. I like digital because when we make love, the sheets are always clean; not much stray bullets unless she has mulfanctions. There used to be too much peeing with analogogue.

Currently no relationships outside this marriage though I like getting laid now and then when I am away from home.

Note the country of origin - Exactly why AIDS is epidemic in this area of the world. Not likely to improve anywhere in the world either unless fidelity returns to marriage.

Or unless people take proper care before doing something they'll regret later - I'm talking of course of non-commited people or people with an open relationship, I'm not condoning what you're saying.
