I’d be interested in seeing what kind of distribution you can fit to the data. IIRC from my stats classes, failure time is often modeled with a Weibull distribution or a Gamma distribution. ---

I dated a lot in high school and college but there’s no way I can even guess at the lengths at this late date. So those two are marriages, first and current … So I guess ONLY count the first one … The second has most definitely not failed! ---

2 weeks (yes really) For some reason I feel like mentioning only that and my 2.5-year relationship/marriage that failed utterly. Not sure I would call anything else a failure. ---

There were breaks in both of my relationships- In all cases she broke up with me but then ended up begging me back several times. My current marriage, we might as well call it at this point. It might make it til the next anniversary in 3 months, but it doesnt really exist. So: 42 mos. 114 mos. ---
