You got that right.

Some people never know just how lucky they are.

Same here, Cosmo. And it never will, either.

worst mistake i have made in my long lonely miserable life. bachelorhood.

Nah, he should marry…… why should he be happy.

The odds are better in Vegas.

Marriage is cool, if you got the right partner. I didn’t and it wasn’t.

When it comes to marriage I say let every one that is an adult marry an adult. Regardless of genders involved. Why leave any one out of the misery that is the joy of marriage.

My friend who’s on wife number four tries to give me “marriage advice”. I’ve been with one wife for 42 years, can’t match dahawk yet, but find those with multiples only go for the “up side”, and “in health”, and bail at the first stiff breeze, let alone storm. Of course I also believe in “accidents” rather than “divorce”, so THAT might be good marriage advice too?

Gayle died at forty-four. We were married 26 years, would be 42 years now. Single sucks but I likely won’t marry again — too much work plus embarrassment of someone discovering all those faults I try to hide.

Divorce can lead to POVERTY. Work your problems out. It was YOU that choose a Lousy Spouse.
