The whole thing I find a joke. What you described is not a loving relationship. You two obviously have a very unstable, unhealthy relationship as you stated there is physical abuse going on. I hope it doesn't happen in front of your children.
abuse, ? That is sick. Perverts do that. not in my marriage. Unhealthy, now that is the joke here.
How many of you gave your virginity to your partner, been married and stayed married, and will stay true to that person suppose he/ she passed away? Or is this a joke in today's world??
Amy, to be 100% honest with you, I did want to stay with my first partner forever, have only one partner, and grow old together. It didn't happen but not because I didn't want it to. I did.
It was devastating to think of having a second partner and it took a long time for me to get to the place where I was willing to try again.
I think we all take different steps in life to get to where we are. You got a soul mate on your first try, which is wonderful. Not all of us do, but that doesn't mean we're any less romantic or anything like that. Everyone's life takes a different path. And we hopefully end up happy. That's always the aim.
chastity & fidelity are kind of out of fashion aren't they?
more than likely the death of a partner will not make you celebate.
more than likely a bad divorce following by a string of dirtbags will make you celebate.

I thought you had joked on your first bit. My marriage had been on the rocks due to my mom. We saved it. It was tough. Everyone's life is different. Your intentions were clear from the start. That does not mean you did wrong or anything, that is the way of life. You sure should be proud of yourself. How is it with your life mate now? I am sure you are even more determined to make it work this time. We kind of had a second marriage too. After my mom was kicked out of our lives, dad's best friend (dad is no more) came to visit us by chance. It was under his blessing that we resolved all problems and started this new life. It takes 10 years to have an understanding and meaningful relationship. At least that is how long it took me.After 10 years, we are still young. 29 is not bad at all, so I consider myself lucky!!

OK, I'm a romantic. My husband and I both were in prior relationships, however, neither worked out. I knew my husband for a couple of years just as a friend of.....long story, we reconnected a couple of years later (no relationships at that time) and it seemed right. I think we surprised each other.
So much has happened in our life - he inherited my disability (meaning I will possibly be blind one day), we have to financially help my parents, two children along the way, business successes and failures, job changes, family illness, parent with Alzheimers, miscarriage, business losses (financial) - but we have toughed it out, we need each other, we have a history; we have stood by each other when no one else would.
It's hard to explain but I cherish being with him; we work together and he depends on me now for that but I also depend on him.
Years ago, our lives were so crazy we were flying in opposite directions, kids, sports, community activities, church, all that - then I changed a few things for him and we have grown more together. Again, it's hard to explain.
I would always stay true to him. He did not run when told of my vision problems; others did. That meant a lot.

Well, it's all wonderful, but IMHO it's waaaayyyy too early to count these chickens...
