Although I really shoudn’t grin. I’ve encountered people who really seem to believe this. No homosexual really wants to get married. Oh and they also don’t want to adopt children or serve in the military (of course not, how could they hold a gun with those limp wrists :rolleyes: ). They’re forming families and joining the military because they hate families and the military and want to destroy them. Them queers is wiley.
Speaking for myself, while no one in my family’s been married more than twice, we don’t seem to be the marrying kind (even my gradmother is divorced) so when I was contemplating marriage I looked to my Aunt and Aunt for role models for a long term relationship. If your brother has kids, DMark, hopefull you’ll do as much for them . And congradulations.
Thanks for all the good wishes. Appreciate it. Doesn’t seem like 25 years coming up…we still laugh and go out and do things like we did when we first met - oops, take that back. We used to go out at 11PM and come home at 3. Now we go out at 8 and are lucky to stay awake until 11. Other than that though, we have never had a serious argument or fight or whatever in all these years. A couple of snits where one didn’t speak to the other for a couple of hours (building that BBQ grill out of the box was an unhappy day. Apparently someone had read the instructions backwards).
To answer a few questions:
Yes, this last marriage of a little over five years was my brother’s personal best.
He met her, on-line, while he was still married to wife number seven.
I have a nephew, somewhere. No one in the family has ever seen him and knows nothing about him - I think he was from wife number three, but not sure as I was living in Europe during five of those marriages. Unknown nephew must be a teenager by now, if not older.
I will place money that my brother will be remarried within a year. I used to joke he kept getting married because he liked wedding cake. However, the humor of the matter is wearing thin.
Yes, you would think these women might wonder about his commitment history, but my guess is that he never tells them exactly how many times he has been married. Don’t know for sure, but I wouldn’t put it past him to have “forgotten” about a few marriages to clean up his love resume.
I have a friend who’s Wife #6. She and hubby have actually been very happy together for nearly ten years now, although I remain convinced he married her to have someone to take care of him in his old age since his health was already very poor when they married. I mean, I like the guy, but I just can’t imagine being Wife #6.
It’s folks like you, DMark, who should be admired – congrats on 25 years with nary a fight! Sounds like you should try for 30 – you get better presents the longer the anniversary celebrates, y’know.
Who said anything about better, or limiting his bigamy to two women? Clearly his goal is to run through as many marriages as possible before he dies. He should quit screwing around and quintuple up up.
Another thought. Does he insist on a prenup before each of his marriages? That has to cost a fortune since you can only split your assets in half so many times before all you have left is the toaster.
