Well, mine is 23 years strong and I expect it to be my only one. My
family has a long history of 50+ year marriages, mostly terminated by
death. You have made the right choice for you, because, as you
indicate, selfishness and marriage don't mix. If only everyone would
understand that and make the choice before they get married the first
time. :-)


Good for you. Once upon a time there was shame attached to divorce and so
people did whatever it took to stick things out when all wasn't golden. Now
divorce is so easy and there is so little stigma attached to it, the first thing
that goes through people's minds when things get tough is "divorce".

I wasn't always a selfish *******. My wife and I didn't fight. I didn't cheat,
beat, or maltreat. I handed over my paycheck in its entirety (she was an
accountant and it made sense at the time that she handle the money). My sin? I
didn't make enough money. She left me; not the other way around.

So now everything is the way *I* want it and I'm no longer willing to
compromise. I'm quite content with my life as it is now. And my dog loves me
unconditionally.
