I know some couples who have supposedly have “open” marriages. Their kids are a mess. It’s the consummate selfish behavior without real concern about what it might mean for your children, and extended family and the spouse you promised.
That is not a true open marriage. That is not something they really wanted and/or agreed to AFTER they realized their marriage was horrible (like most marriages)
Getting married TO extended family is an even huge-er red flag. But when your 3rd cousin is fine … you ignore flags.
Who said somebody got married because of the extended family? Living up to the vows though you took in front of your and your spouse’s parents (e.g, extended family), would be a measure of character.
Those vows have nothing to do with your extended family though. That is crazy.
You don’t find there is a level of accountability to make promises in front of your friends and family?
Not if it isn't to them.
LOL …
Did I promise them all or did I just talk about it and let them know?
How can you be so wrong on so many things? It's almost statistically impossible.
I find it wild that someone could say, “If I make a promise, publicly, in front of all the people I care about most in the world, it doesn’t really mean anything if I don’t honor it” … huh???
So again, say you make that promise and your wife cheats on you, beats your kids and steals your money...you would still honor that promise so that you didn't let your 4th cousin on your Mothers side down...all because she was at your wedding?
Right???
Then I wouldn’t be the one breaking the promise of the vows. So people would understand I unknowingly married a whooooooore.
See, thank you! People would understand!
IF your spouse breaks the vows, you’re free to divorce. They’re broken. Every religion on earth recognizes that.
Man, i got up and took those vows in front of my parents, her parents, all of our siblings. Only a POS would break those vows without rock solid reasons. Even then, you divorce BEFORE you go shack up.
I think some people here think that is wrong and that you are supposed to just keep working on things to make it better.
Nope. Married for 46 years. I married well. My parents divorced after 35+ years due to my dad’s infidelity. 4 of my siblings divorced. One won the lottery with his 2nd wife. One wished he hadn’t filed. One’s husband got charged with kiddie porn. One was a drunk. I’ve seen the trauma of divorces.
Kristi Noems weird azs husband knew. What a sad cuck. But he’s into some weird stuff himself.
You might wanna look into this, but married guys are happier and live longer. It’s probably too stressful for most guys to hunt down barmaids to bang every weekend.
You and me both Dingle. I’m a whole lot better as a person because of who I married.
Or the Mike leach suggestion! Go elope
