Marriages can last if you choose to make them last - it's just that this generation figures bailing out is a perfectly excusable way to end a marriage.

What else would you expect from a society that places a premium on the abdication of personal responsibility?

Fake cops, sounds like.

 

[chuckywang]

sue

 

[FelixDeCat]

This is pure bs. But I would love to ask your g/f, "Whats in your wallet?"

Good luck w/this.

 

[ModerateRepZero]

as some others have said, she SHOULD NOT take the polygraph. There's a reason why it's inadmissable in court......

I recommend this site for more information:

Good job ignoring the fact that divorce wasn't socially acceptable until recently.

First of all, do not marry someone you've only been dating for 6 months. YOU WILL END UP APART OF THE DIVORCE RATE STATISTIC

met my wife in late june '94, started dating in aug/94, engaged in 9/94 and married in 5/95.

11 year anniversary in about 6 weeks.

Edit for correct decade 'cause I'm on crack!

I started dating my spouse in September 1993 and we got married in February 1994. Married over 12 years now. We only dated (well, lived together) for 5 months before the wedding (not the engagement, the wedding itself.) And no, we didn't have any kids until over 2 years later. It wasn't rushed due to a pregnancy. We don't all end up divorced if we date for 6 months or less before marriage.

When my wife and I got married, everyone told us to wait at least a yar to think about kids. It was good advice. Married May 20, '95 and oldest born March 30, '97. We've had 4 more since for a total of 5 kids and almost 11 years of marriage.

true, but on the other hand i dont really see it a personal responsibility for two people to stay in a marriage if they just dont want to anymore

I think you just repeated what I said - "it's just that this generation figures bailing out is a perfectly excusable way to end a marriage"

Some people used to think it was your personal responsibility, and along with that came the pressure to work things out (that worked, more often than not.)

:disgust:
Reading comprehension seems to be taking a hit also.
If you lower the bar far enough, you can justify anything. Then the word "responsibility" ceases to mean anything. The same goes for "vows" "honor" and "commitment".

 

[Sphexi]

Any word yet on the poly/detective?

 

[GnomeCop]

thats messed up

 

[Ornery]

Reading comprehension seems to be taking a hit also.

That exchange would be funny, if it wasn't so sad & pathetic!

BTW, the OP is certainly short on updates.

 

[Sphexi]

Updates? It's been a week or so, your girlfriend going down on any butch inmates yet?

 

[ModerateRepZero]

no updates? dang

 

[altonb1]

Still nothing?!?!?

OP: I think you should shudder as the ATOT gives you a collective "&%^$ YOU!!!!" for not giving any further updtes.

In fact, I'm calling SHENS!

I will second the call.

 

[altonb1]

Okay...I guess it is time to unmark the thread and I call for BAN.
