As much as I hate to admit it, I’m an E. We’ve been married for just over two years and the entire 2 years have been marred by alcoholism and loss of trust. I want this to be a successful marriage, but I have to acknowledge that it is unlikely to change. So, I’m looking for a way out.
Hetero. I’m 32, he’s 33. Married 2 years.
A. We survived three children and we have too much damn stuff to try and sort it out in a divorce.
Every single word about this post is too sad for words.
Worked our way up from E to B in just 7 short years, now working on the A.
I thought he was being tongue-in-cheek. I could be wrong.
A.
I know we’ve only been married just over three months, but we did go through one major crisis before we got married. We also talked about this at length before we decided to get married. Our marriage comes first. We know that things change and sometimes things go horribly wrong and we don’t know what lies ahead. During our premarital counseling, our priest brought up end-of-life issues such as Alzheimers, etc. We’d already discussed them – I pointed out to her that, at our age, we’re a bit closer to them than a lot of couples – but I’m glad she asked us about them. I’m rather old-fashioned about marriage. For me, this is a life-long committment.
I’m female; we’re both straight and in our mid 40s. We met 5 years ago Labor Day weekend.
You could be right. If so, I apologize.
