So let me answer your statement which is quoted above.

No... Marjan I am definitely not harsh about life, love or marriage. Au contraire, my dear!! I live life with a high degree of joie de vivre!

I am just not a gambler. I am realistic that's all.

Regarding what I said about 2nd and 3rd marriages... let's just put it this way... if you bought a bus ticket and the ticket agent told you:
"You might not want to board that bus because it crashes 80 - 90% of the time ."
Would you get on the bus or not?

I wouldn't.

Likewise... if you were thinking of a second marriage... would you try it, knowing that statistically second marriages have a 80 - 90% chance of failure??

(BTW...please read the article that I posted earlier because it mentions these stats)

You might Marjan because that's you.

As for me, I wouldn't, but that's just me.

Like I said... I am not a gambler, except in cases where I can bet a small amount and the payout is high.

That's why I would prefer playing Black Jack, Roulette or Texas Hold'em at Las Vegas over getting married multiple times, lol. I also buy "Mega Millions" lottery tickets on occasion too when the jackpot is over $100 million.

My dear Peppermint,

You can go ahead and make choices for your life....that's your life...I've been married once and I'm looking to fine a partner again...and if the second or forth or fifth marriage doesn't work, I won't give up still...that's who I am...I'm brave enough to get into a relationship, and if it's not working, I get upset, I cry, or whatever, but still I have hope to find another person...I don't think I want to give up at all....that's who I am...probably, that's most scientist are, they spend most of their lives to experience, some will reach to their goals and some won't....
I believe there is not just one way for life...and not everybody has to live the same....
Also, I have to point it out that most of your writings in this thread made people upset...actually, your opinion didn't make people upset the way that you say it is so offencive!
And, I questioned myself...why? why do you want to make people upset?
Then I found out that you may not realize it...but if you go back and read them again, you will find out!
with love
Marjan
Thanks for this!
