Wow. So she should have left him, broken his heart, turned his world upside down, all without even giving him a chance to remain in the marriage on terms he might have actually found agreeable? And how is that a better outcome than them redefining their marriage and both remaining happily married?
You clearly don't understand what I said. I never suggested that she should leave him. I don't think she should have gotten married again based on what happened in the first marriage.
I lament the divorce rate for different reasons. I think people don't understand what marriage is, they are fickle, unwilling to commit to anything long term and I think people are too immature to learn how to resolve issues with another person. If anybody fits those categories, then I don't think they should get married until they are ready. That would help the divorce rate.
So maybe we need a panel of puritans like yourself to evaluate marriage applications, interview the applicants, and conduct background checks before approving or rejecting them for marriage based on your criteria?
Justtitans, do you think the couple you posted about should have gotten a divorce?

Was it truly the men or was it her? Maybe it was a combination.
You did say they should divorce. Wishing someone did not marry is not the same thing, nor is it practical. They did get married.
Nope not at all. You don't have to like it or leave it when a company decides to cut your pay. If they are contractually obligated to pay you a certain amount there is no out unless you agree to it. In that case, it's more than a like it or leave it.
The point was made to show what happens when there isn't a re-agreement of the agreement.
The terms of marriage contracts under current laws in most states is that either party can terminate the contract at any time for any reason (i.e. no-fault divorce).

Okay you are right I did. I forgot that I said it. I think honestly not getting married at all would have made more sense, but my point was she does not appear to be comfortable with a monogamous relationship.

I'm not perfect. Far from it. I'm just telling you what I have observed to be reasons why marriages fail. Why does that have to be made out like I think I have all the answers?

Okay so marriage doesn't have any value other than a piece of paper? What you say to one another has no value?
In response to the question "Justtitans, do you think the couple you posted about should have gotten a divorce?"
You responded "Yes. She wasn't happy."
I see. Thank you. I explained my response.
What is getting ridiculous? You not reading responses that I have already made to your questions?
