    You can have one, maybe two divorces that aren’t your fault.

    But if you have 3 or more divorces, you are the problem.

    Yeah, jokes about marriage are perfectly fine for a person with 5 marriages. If they don’t like it, they can get married less.

        From a person who has been divorced once, and seen other friends get divorced. it’s not so much about choosing carefully, it’s about communication when the relationship gets tough or boring (and ideally before you get there). Finding the right person is the easy part, staying in love and staying happy - that’s the difficult part

    This reminds me of my brother. I’d known my wife for two months before we got married. We celebrate 10 years next month

    Meanwhile, in the same time frame, he’s on wife six.

      2 months seems quick to me, but I’m also feeling like I’m in a similar position. I’m dating someone currently that I’ve know for a while, and I’m thinking about proposing soon (we’re only a couple months into an actual relationship, and we’ve also talked about me doing this). I’m a little worried we’re both just getting carried away. So I guess my question to you is how did you know so soon, or was it a leap of faith in a way?

        From personal experience on this, it ended terribly for me. I didnt really know the person I married and we were completely incompatible together. Mostly because I’m incompatible with being abused and she was incompatible with not abusing people.

        I suggest cooling your jets and moving in together for a year. Maybe even two. Then propose if it goes well in that year or two. But not after 2 months…
