Well that’s a bummer man.Me and my brother both realized at the same time his wife is in first stage of memory loss.
Sorry no pics.
Sounds like there was some drama at my x in laws…I learned that I don’t miss that shit.I had further confirmation that not spending Christmas with my in-laws is A-OK.
"In-laws" and "drama" go together, brother. No doubt about it.Sounds like there was some drama at my x in laws…I learned that I don’t miss that shit.
There has to be quite a money-making opportunity in pre-marriage counseling. Something called "the sh!t they don't tell you about marriage". That could put quite a dent in the divorce rate.My brother and his wife are having issues.
They are at prime divorce age; Mid-40's.

a 10 question survey from the officiant that feels more like "the dating game" than any sort of solid life advice?The pre-marriage counseling you get is a joke.
I learned something similar with some close friends of mine. Sad indeed.My brother and his wife are having issues.

Our pastor made us do eight one hour sessions before he married us. Shit was intense.a 10 question survey from the officiant that feels more like "the dating game" than any sort of solid life advice?
These hoes ain’t loyal…Our pastor made us do eight one hour sessions before he married us. Shit was intense.
On a side note, there is a reason that 40s is the hot divorce age. People prioritize their children over their spouse and a divide starts in their late 30s. It becomes a bridge to far in their 40s.
Nailed it. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen this and I am guilty of it as well. Putting anything above your partner…kids, work, etc is a recipe for disaster.Our pastor made us do eight one hour sessions before he married us. Shit was intense.

How does that come up at a family gathering?My brother and his wife are having issues.

The current layout in youth sports is killing marriages. The amount of couples we know that spend every weekend apart at kids sporting events is crazy. The husband is in (insert city) all weekend with his son and the wife in (insert city) with the daughter. You do 8 years of that then look at each other when it's over with nothing in common anymore and one or both has cheated at some point.Nailed it.

Aren’t you in your early 30s?Our pastor made us do eight one hour sessions before he married us. Shit was intense.

We weren't married by a pastor. Ours was like.. a zoom call with my wife's uncle.Our pastor made us do eight one hour sessions before he married us. Shit was intense.
Knocking on 40.Aren’t you in your early 30s?
Can't trust a man of the cloth who isn't a priestWe weren't married by a pastor. Ours was like.. a zoom call with my wife's uncle.
Then he used one of the answers during the ceremony as a funny joke story and i was like "mf, that was supposed to be confidential."

Got it.Knocking on 40.
I’m intrigued… told people what? The SIL just announced “Hey, they’re having problems!” Who would do something like that?One SIL DM'd the other SIL and that SIL told the rest of us. We were not together. They live on the coasts.
People that like to gossip.I’m intrigued… told people what? The SIL just announced “Hey, they’re having problems!” Who would do something like that?

I would disagree with you a bit in that I don’t see kids or spouse as a choice one is forced to make. It’s possible to do both.
I think you can balance it, but when kids have events every night and weekend, it's almost impossible to find the time. I've seen my friends schedules, not sure where they could even fit in time for each other. Basketball, baseball, football, 7 on 7, soccer, volleyball, wrestling, dance, gymnastics, etc. It never stops. It's literally 365 days a year. They have 3 boys and a girl. The kids have basketball, wrestling, and gymnastics every night and every weekend right now.Got it.

I guess that’s possible. I think anything can happen with couples.Of course. But lots of people forget about their spouse during those ages when the kids are crazy busy. Those that make their spouses a priority during that time frame will be better positioned to handle their kids no longer consuming all of their time.
You've posted that you wish doctors hadn't saved your life, explain how thats better off?Going through the divorce was bad, but I would rather be where I am at now.
I live a spoiled life.
We come from different experiences, which isn't a bad thing. Almost all my friends have grown up (for the most part) and don't really live a party life. Sure they will have beers with other parents after games on Sat night, but they aren't out at the club ripping lines until 3am.I guess that’s possible. I think anything can happen with couples.
A number of my friends and acquaintances who are divorced had the opposite problem. They never grew up and wanted to go out all the time like they were in their 20s. Like they wanted the dating phase to last forever. Kids got the short end of the stick and many are pretty messed up.
Precisely. Problem solved.It would put a bigger dent in the marriage rate…
