Getting married....Again

[Grayfox]

I'm reminded of Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm in the Jurassic Park movies. "Always looking for the next Ex-Mrs. Malcolm"

Once was enough for me. We were happily married for 33 years. But then she passed away in 2010. While I would love to have another girlfriend, I have no desire to ever remarry.

OTOH: a guy I went to high school with has been married five times. Some people never learn.

What’s the saying about the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different outcome?

Yeah, but since Microsoft came along, that no longer describes insanity, but simply a positive attitude

Congratulations!

I tried it once in my 20s and decided it wasn’t for me; or rather, my (ex-)wife decided that. But all my friends are married or at least coupled, and I’m happy for anyone who can make it work.

Why would anybody who has been married once, ever do it again?

It's called masochism. They just like pain. I know one guy who has been married 5 times.. Every wife has died on him..Don't know whether it is because they want to or if he poisons them or something. If'n I was a woman I wouldn't even talk to him much less marry him....even if he does seem like a "nice" guy. I'm on my second after being in lust with the first one for 5 months. 49 years with this one though. Good luck 29aholic

I'm the kinda guy that has to do a thing twice to get it right. I like to give every thing a sportin' chance. I'm sure glad I gave it another shot. I was a little smarter this time. I learned that you don't choose a life mate just because the sex is great. You have to have someone you can and want to talk to.

It's only been 49 years for this'n but I'm startin' to think I done it right this time.

You do know that science has found a food that cuts your love life in
half, its called wedding cake.

 

[Rad29]

Congrats to both of you! Best Wishes!

[OLDSTER]

Good luck; hope it works. But I need to ask if you are a masochist ??

 

[Foxman32]

Best wishes for a long and successful union!

Grandma & Grandpa were married for 69 years. It was only passing that separated them and only for a month.

Mom & Dad were married for 66 years. When Dad died Mom lived for a very long 3 years before joining him.

When my son got married they wanted relative's wedding pics for the reception. It was then we discovered that on both sides of the 2 new families there had never been a divorce.

Grandpa's success was that whatever he said was willingly followed by Grandma with no discussion.

Dad's success was that whenever he had a silly idea, and Mom shrugged her shoulders and turned up her nose, he gave in to better wisdom.

My story is that whenever I see a new gun, my wife says "why do you need another?", but then says "you better buy it before it gets sold". When my wife buys another horse and I say "but you have 6 already", I then say "when are you going to pick her up?"

Its all about give and take, respect for the other's ideas, having shared interests and having personal interests that account for "alone time".

If you've done it once, I can't imagine doing it again.

Happy 5th month anniversary.

When I was 17 I met my first love. We were crazy about each other. I recall thinking I was lucky to find my life's mate so young. She dumped me with no warning and I never knew why.

It was five years after before I met my wife. I had met many women but none could match up to the first one until I met my wife.

Fifty four years and counting. Lots of bumps on the road but I love her very much.

As is protocol, Congratulations to the groom and Good Luck to the bride.

Why would anybody who has been married once, ever do it again?[true once was all I wanted. Been single now for 45 years and my xwife still texts me once in awhile wanting some thing

 

[BearBio]

Third was my best, by far! Almost 35 years now!

Curt,

I'm a bit late "coming out of the chute", but congratulations to both of you! My best wishes to you for many years of happiness, and companionship together.

I hope that the "honeymoon" never ends.

From one "Old Bean Counter to another"!

Cheers!!

Bill

Congrats to you.

27 years married, 29 years together.

Had our bumps like every other couple.

But it's good.

We were made for each other.

Because frankly, I can't see anyone else putting up with her.

Or anyone else putting up with me.

LOL

Well guys and gals, as Rusty has stated it has been 5 months that I have been married to the best woman that has ever come into my life.

Unfortunately that milestone has been somewhat overshadowed. We got the word a little over 2 weeks ago her father had come down with the virus. He had been on a vent and as of Friday morning at 10:30 all looked well. About an hour later he went on full code. We made a mad dash to Dallas but he passed before we got half way there.
The better half is holding well as can be expected and we are getting through. I just showed her this thread again and all of the wondeful well wishes from you all and it has helped.
Thank all of you again

 

[Rustyt1953]

My heartfelt prayers for both of you on the loss of one so close. I'm sure glad she has you right now.

Curtis, sorry for your loss.God bless you both! Dave
