Most marriages end up with divorce and lots of really frustrating legal conflict. And depending on where you live, youâll lose most of your stuff if youâre the male.

Cohabit, donât marry. Statistically marriages rarely last long.
I only ever date and sometimes share accommodation, but Iâd never put a ring on it for so many reasons. One of them being I donât want to give someone the ability to effectively ctrl+alt+delete my life when they have a bad mood.

You have had poor experiences. At the end of the day, if you trust your relationship enough to get married, it probably means you know the other person to be mature enough not to do this.
People change over time and love dwindles. Marriage statistics bear that out, even for the long marriages.

Yeah and No. I mean I am a bad example, as I am a Divorcee, but as with most of my friends in the same boat, you generally find most courts find for an equal split of assets. And some marriages are perfectly happy and endure for a lifetime.

My one bad experience would not stop me marrying again when I pluck up the stones to ask.
People are different, just because I made the wrong choice once, doesnât mean that I wonât strike lucky second time around.
That is true, that is what happened with my Ex-wife. Neither of us were having an affair, no third party was involved, we just slowly realised that the spark had gone, and we were just two people sharing a house, not husband and wife.
Doesnât mean it happens to everyone. Nor is it a reason not to shoot for the stars and try and find that happiness. If it fails, it fails. Divorce is not the end of your life, as hard as it is to go through at the time. Iâm actually happier now, than I was at the tail end of a loveless marriage. Wouldnât stop me trying again.
Anyway, hope you are having a fantastic day Slapface (Donât try to slap your spouseâs face, that rarely ends well⌠
) and good luck to you on lifeâs journey together.

Warm wishes and congratulations to you and your wife to be.
Try to ignore the bitter pills who take this opportunity to decide to squawk about prenups or divorce statistics, quite why people have to bring down the mood on something objectively positive is beyond me.
Best of luck for the future, marriage is what you make it and donât let anyone tell you otherwise. Got ten years of it under the belt myself and weâre still the same couple of stupid lovestruck nerds, with me being obvious and her trying to hide it. Just a wee bit more grey on my side and two sprogs, but our dynamic remains unchanged because we donât take the other for granted.

You got the pleasure of being an important person on his wedding day. I sure as hell wouldnât even touch any forums on the day if I were in his shoes, not even to read.

Itâs alright.
As repayment, I shall wear a Blizzard t-shirt when I divorce.
Considering⌠based on what kind of posts you usually make, i feel sorry for any partner that willingly chooses to put up with your âPersonalityâ on a daily basis.
Send your partner my regards and i hope they donât become too miserable or regretting this decision
Thank you for the kind words!

âyou may now kiss the bride in bluetooth⌠please respect the safe sanitary distanceâ
but for real, what kind of event is this going to be with covid around. no big party i suppose?
No big party indeed, but thereâs a reason we didnât simply reschedule: we didnât plan to have a big party anyway. Weâre simple, discrete people.
We were ~15 for the ceremony, with mostly my now wifeâs friends joining in. They stayed around for the pretty pictures in the afternoon as well as the wine reception, then they left and the dinner was just with the close family.
Weâre both introverts, so we actually really didnât mind COVID restrictions and we had a wonderful day. My only regret is I wish we couldâve gone to the restaurant, but thatâs no big deal at all. We can do this later. Iâm just glad to be able to call her my wife from now on.
