Yeah.
There are questions one to three before the link. Then the question in the OP asking if I'm 'alright?' and then me mentioning e-bay that took it to 5.

Obvioiusly, you've added another question, meaning there are now 6 questions.

EDIT: Just noticed another one. We'll leave the question count here.

Was the person who I'd fallen in love with to be fundamentally the same when we were married. Yes, both of us would change over time, get a bit older and a bit wiser and all that sort of thing, but core values were, I thought, fixed.

We'll see.
But seeing just how easily the last marriage fell apart - despite a number of proper goes at sorting things out and getting everything on an even keel - makes me wonder if life isn't easier with the 'being able to just walk away option' still in place.

It would have saved a few years of misery as we could have drawn a line under everything, rather than hoping the fact we'd got married made things worth persevering with.

I wouldn't have had those last 2 years with a 'girl friend' I'd have ended the relationship long before that.

Cynical? Just a bit.
