I agree with Divine to a certain extent. I would say my ex and I were not wholly compatible and there were problems from the beginning. I think therapy at one year may have ended things. Instead we packed up and did an around-the-world adventure. Haha. It was a fun distraction!


THAT SAID...sometimes people don't experience the first year of marriage as bliss. Sometimes the first year is rocky then it smooths out. That was my experience.

Marriage is always a bit risky. Anything can happen. One person could become seriously ill...or get in an accident. Or lifestyles and habits might clash. Such things end marriages.


Or...maybe it simply proves to be not a very viable arrangement. Geez, that's why we have divorce! I have a friend who has stayed in an unhappy abusive marriage for decades. To me that seems wrong.


HH...my heart goes out to you. Sorry if I hijacked this thread. We are all thinking of you.
