Not so fast. I filed...but HE is the one that wanted the divorce. I filed because HE couldn't afford to. So cut that "involuntary" nonsense.
I'm sick of arguing this tired repetitive lament. Who files is no indication at all of who drives whom up the wall. Women file more often because men wouldn't mind keeping the status quo of driving them up the wall, but it's no longer possible in most cases.
If somebody wants to get married, I don't believe shacking up is the best path to the altar.
Agreed.
I thought one of my sisters took the wrong tack by moving in with this one guy several years ago. Got to the point she did all the housekeeping, laundry, cooking, managing finances, paying a lot of the bills, caring for the dog, etc.
After a few years the marriage question started coming up including outside relatives starting to query. Finally it came to a head earlier this year and he refused to discuss it and she left. After a few months he said he couldn't live without her and agreed to marriage and asked her. So now they are getting married. He has a history of infidelity as well.
I think mostly what he missed was all the free bills paid for and house cleaning. I'm not confident it's going to work out, but maybe he's "changed".
Of course I raised a few objections about this to her over the holidays, but I was bundled and taped up and put in the closet where I am now writing this. Hopefully someone will find me soon.

I'd never accept it after this number.

No sh*t that pushing a man (who shows NO indication to work on anything towards a marriage) to marry you is not a good move.
I know a couple who have been together for almost... 10 years, I think (they have lived together for 7 plus years to this day). It's beyond OBVIOUS that the woman wants to marry him, but the guy just keeps saying... well.. .how do I put it... oh, here you go:
"If it ain't broke, why fix it?" Meaning, if things between them are good now, why change anything?
This woman tries to act cool about being unmarried but living together with him, but every time all four of us hang out, she would come out with such comment like this:
"We are so happy like Kurt and Goldie (Hawn).... happily unmarried, but seriously, I don't see why we should stay unmarried.... you can just buy me a white sapphire..."
"We are so happy like Kurt and Goldie (Hawn).... happily unmarried, but seriously, I don't see why we should stay unmarried.... you can just buy me a white sapphire..."
God, talk about desperation!!!!
Precisely. I'm not saying it's not an OK option if it really works for BOTH of them, but I think that's rarely the case...
Gets even better. The excuse for his infidelity(not with my sister but with other women) is he had a written list of a 100 things he wanted in a woman and one woman had some of the qualities and the other woman had the rest of the qualities, so if he slept with both he had one whole woman.

I'm sorry to say this, but is your sister out of her friggin' mind?! What is he like - Adonis & Einstein & Rockefeller all rolled into one?!

No, that would be me ... only in a female version.
