I'm one of those people who got married young.
I was 21. Divorced two years ago. Don't regret it because we married for the right reasons (i.e. we were in love and genuinely wanted to be together). Lots of shit happened and we split up.

Might get married again, but I'm not going to rush into it if there's a next time. That's what I did wrong the first time.

You did marriage wrong but married for the right reasons?
Can I add that one to the list?

Edit - You ninja edited, that's cheating.

You can get married for the right reasons but have it go wrong.
We did love each other. We had been together a while, had bought a house and had lived together for ages. We thought it was the next step in our relationship.

We fucked it up because we grew apart and wanted different things.

I am agreeing with you, btw.

Yeah, i'm being a bit of a cunt here...i'll stop.
It's easy to judge. Fun too.

I should probably add ...
We fucked it up because we grew apart and wanted different things and didn't do anything about it.

We tried to get back together a couple of times, but the same arguments kept getting dragged up. We tried marriage counseling which didn't work because he didn't bother showing up, and neither of us we were willing to make sacrifices for the other, which I now know is a key part of marriage.

You live, you learn.

I'm a little hazy on the wedding vows...
"For richer for poorer , for better for worse, in sickness and in health...unless you grow apart and want different things, in which case fuck it you can always get divorced"

Are you married?

(Happy Little Cupcake desires macaroni pictures., Fri 16 Jul 2010, 11:30, closed)

No, because I have never met someone who I wanted to marry
and be with for ever and ever and ever.

Although my parents celebrate their 40th this year. They were 20 when they got married, so "woo" to them.

Marriage isn't treated the same way as it was when our parents were young.
I've been to two weddings this year. I have another three coming up. It'll be interesting to see which ones stick it out and which ones don't.
