Nobody is perfect. If you get married, you will have married an imperfect person. And you yourself will be imperfect. When you both realize and accept this, you can be gracious and forgiving to each other, and a healthy satisfying marriage can take place.

There is no perfect person to marry. So in a sense, any person you marry can be the "wrong" person. It just depends on how you approach your marriage.

But much better to face that question as early as you can...

All women are crazy. All men are stupid.

Hell, marriage ain't no fantasy for sure. I am not sure about all this happy talk you guys are spouting off. It's been every man for himself.

For me you gotta be nice but firm in what shite you will take and what you won't. women press that line daily.

Got about 3 sentences in, stopped reading to ask why in the frick you would post this on the OT.

On the 1% chance you aren't trolling, people are wired to want what they can't have. It's the reason men spend more time thinking about that hot chick they met on vacation that one time than they think about the ex they got sick of fricking.

It's just human nature. Don't let something we all experience convince you that you missed your shot at companionship.

Sadly I may be able to authoritatively answer this question soon.

Love my girl but goddamn.

Well, judging by the divorce rate, 50% of all marrieds married the wrong person.

I don't think that's the case with all. I think a large portion of those people either drifted apart, or had some hurdle that they collectively couldn't overcome. ie: loss of a loved one, depression, financial difficulties, work/money supersedes family or is primary focus, etc.

I recently found a sd card from an old camcorder I had during my first marriage. In looking at the video, I noticed that while I was filming my kids at Disney or bday or whatever, I would pan over to my now ex-wife, she looked miserable. I also noticed she was quick to jump on the kids or seemingly less attached to what was going on. I didn't see that in the midst of the action. Years after we divorced she got on a depression/anxiety cocktail...which has worked.

One of the funniest things about working with cell phones is how so many guys are so wary of unlocking their phones or letting me work with them in front of their wives. If I need to get into their messages to check something, so many of them yank their phones out of my hands to "check something" first. Sometimes, they'll forget and I've seen some pretty crude text messages.

Don't let that thought pass through your head. Even if it's true, how does it help you? Do you have a time machine to tell your past self exactly what to do to keep her? That thought is merely self destructive and will lead you down a road of massive depression. It does you no good to dwell on it.



You sound as if you speak from experience?

You aren't "meant to marry" any one person.

There are no such thing as soulmates.

You find people that you want to be with and you grow your relationship through shared experiences.

Sometimes it lasts. Sometimes it doesn't.



Excellent and to the point.

Well said, wise one.
