I don't know...people who get married and suddenly realize it's not gonna work are smart to get out of it before they bring children into the world or otherwise burden their friends and family with pointless drama.
It's the fools who drag it out for years that I pity.
My favorite ex's second marriage (which occurred after we broke up) lasted 6 months. He figured out that I was right when I suggested strongly that she was a sociopath before they married and warned him he should break things off, citing very concrete evidence. I was gracious about it and never said "I told you so!"
2 years. They were both very career oriented and their careers were taking them in opposite directions. They're both A Types. I was happy for them when they got married but I wondered how they were going to work long run. It's a shame. I think they'd both be good at marriage. Just not with each other.
3 weeks, a co-worker of mine. He husband decided he didn't want to raise 3 kids that weren't his. They dated a couple of years before marrying, so I don't know why hd didn't realize that in the first place.
Another co-worker got married 4 days after meeting her husband. They've been married for about 20 years now! They're the exception.
Maybe she had a "goal" of marriage and when she got him officially, she no longer wanted him, nothing more to aspire to after the title of wife??? But the shortest I've witnessed was less than 2 months to answer the question. That's short Could have also been in the example situation, she really didn't want to marry and once it was reality it was too much pressure for her??? (I don't know who pushed for marriage or if it was a pushed issue.) Some people think more commitment solves everything and it often does not and the reality makes them leave the situation.
Eleven months. My drama-llama eldest sibling just had to get married before she finished college even though my parents wondered what the rush was. No, not pregnant or anything like that, but I guess when a Princeton man comes knocking, he must be perfect.
She told us all of these stories about what he allegedly did, but after seeing her insanity for the last 40 years, I tend to think that he just realized what a nutter she is, decided he made a huge mistake, and that was that.
Nice family loyalty But it is often the woman who files so if he left her, there may be some truth to your theory. He was , after all, a Princeton man . . .
1 year and 6 months. Which was my marriage, but we were together for 3 years prior. It just took us that long to realize we were growing into different people than we wanted. If you want to be technical, we were married 4 years and 7 months (1 year of which was legal separation and another 6 months to process the divorce) by the time the divorce was finalized because we tried to work things out at one point.
At least I was able to recognize the signs early and get out. We are both with other people now and very happy. My brother on the other hand was questioning things before he got married, and now 20 years and 2 kids later is having a very bitter divorce.
I have a friend who got married (her second, his first) and during their honeymoon he told her he thought he had made a mistake and didn't want to be a stepfather to her kids. She is a very nice person too, but a bad judge of character I guess.
She saw the pictures from the bachelor party which involved him having a threesome with two strippers and filed for an annulment.
