How Many Marriages Have You Broken Up?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. One, so far

my own. But I hardly count it anymore since I've been single just as long as I was ever married.

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. Wow! Thanks for letting me know I can cancel out marriages!

So, technically, I've never been married!!

Oh..am a virgin, too

[supernova]

21. Heh.

Well, think what you will. My life balances out according to what I think.

[Whoa_Nelly]

27. Your philosophy and logic RULE!

:thumbsup:

[trof]

2. One.

It wasn't mine and I only told the truth when it was forced out of me.
Am I a bad person?

[Schema Thing]

3. I'm in talks right now, for one

...and frankly, I don't feel the least bit bad about it, it needs to be ended.

[LeftyMom]

4. My own

I kicked his ass out and changed the locks. Found out later he was cheating, but I don't hold her responsible for his behavior. I married him and he was the one who chose to risk that relationship by sleeping around, drinking to excess and abusing me.

His loss, I was the best fucking thing that ever happened to him and he pissed it away. Just as well, I deserve better and can't imagine what sort of hell trying to keep that travesty of a relationship would have created in my life.

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Damn, LM

That was powerful.

You're some kinda woman. :hug:

[LeftyMom]

17. Thank you

It was a hell of a thing to go through (at 19!) but I'm stronger for having lived it.

[SeattleGirl]

33. That was a good thing you did, for yourself and your child

Nobody deserves to be treated badly like that, so I'm glad you took action and got out of it!:hug:

[LeftyMom]

34. This was pre-LeftyKid

I just want to clear that up. LeftyDad didn't fuck around on me or abuse me, we just had some differences in perspective that we weren't able to resove on some religious and ethical issues that led to our relatively amicable breakup.

He's a good guy for the most part, but we're just very different people.

[Wapsie B]

5. One, so far

but the love was already gone.

[0007]

6. None!

[no name no slogan]

7. Just mine

but it was as much her fault as it was mine. Had I known being able to read her mind and live up to her impossible expectations were part of the deal, I probably never would have married her in the first place.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. i broke up one....mine!

[ForrestGump]

9. What time is it?

The day is yet young... :D

[Ellen Forradalom]

12. You rake you!

Lock up your wives and daughters!

[ForrestGump]

14. Welcome to my home: Casa Nova

:D

Blame it on the casanova
The dunce of love

[Ellen Forradalom]

10. One

My first. Maybe my second, too.

[aclog]

13. Well

my parents are still married but I gave it a helluva shot...

[Redstone]

16. None. Except my first one. But that's because she was a lunatic.

[LynzM]

22. Heya dude...

Haven't seen you around and was hoping all was ok in your neck of the woods... :hi: :)

[Redstone]

31. Doing fine, kiddo. Was actually thinking about sending you a PM

to see how your holidays were. How were they? Good here.

Is that little cutie still carting her Birthday Pooch around with her?

It's going to be an intense January for work, starting tomorrow. But you guys know where to find me even if I'm not around DU. Don't be strangers, OK?

Redstone

[LynzM]

32. Glad to hear you're doing well!

The holidays were good, but busy. We had my brother here since the 21st, his girlfriend since Tuesday... and you've seen the size of our house :) Still, it was really nice to see them. Took some time off and actually did a little relaxing here and there; felt damn good. Tomorrow, back to the job and signing up for some spring classes!

The birthday pooch gets to play in all the games that are all-dog games... there's the dad dog and the mom dog and all the little dogs, and they have all kinds of adventures, good stuff!

If I don't see you around much this month, I'll get in touch... maybe we can do lunch on a day when I just need to get the hell outta the office :) :hi:

[Redstone]

35. Lunch would be good. Mrs R will be working a lot during January,

as will I, but she and/or I could always use a break. You have the phone number.

I could always run over the bridge and we could see how the menu at the Hideaway looks. If not, there's Illiano's, which has every kind of pizza known to man, and they're all good.

But not on a Thursday; that's our day for lunch followed by dessert at home, if you know what I mean and I have no doubt that you do.

Please tell Hubby I got his message, and will pass it along to the interested party. And hug that wonderful little girl for me!

18. Don't know if this counts or not...

She moved out 3.5 years before I met him and their two kids, who lived with him. She had a boyfriend. 5 years later I got pregnant, and they got the paperwork done. So I was blamed for the breakup of their marriage.

There was a great deal of deception in the early years of our relationship. If I had it to do over again, I'm not sure I would. But I don't see any point in regretting what's passed.

[Chemical Bill]

19. Just the one....

The fat lady hasn't even sung yet, we're still arguing about money. She ran off to join the Guru. He's a nice enough guy. I wish her well, but I can't see giving her all my money.

Bill

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. guru?

[Chemical Bill]

28. At least she didn't leave me for my best friend. n/t

[unsavedtrash]

23. one. She told me they were separated and headed for the final divorce

papers. Found out later that the plans for a divorce were a total surprise to the husband. But they did divorce because he didn't like his wife sleeping with other women. I was 19 and thought I was in love for ever.

[RetroLounge]

24. My first one, but I had it coming.

My current one? Well, not sure yet...

[NNadir]

25. Zero. I slept with exactly one married person in my life, but I was very

wasted that evening, and she was very agressive. She was my best friend's cousin, and she apparently had her mind set on doing this for some time.

I felt bad about it afterward. I have no idea what became of the marriage, because I cut off contact, but I think I had little to do with the outcome in any case. I heard that later she was having serial affairs. I'm lucky I didn't acquire a disease.

It was a quarter of a century ago.

[skygazer]

26. One - my first

We were very young when we married and we drifted apart. Finally, I suggested we go our separate ways so technically you could say I broke it up. My deadbeat, abusive husband broke up the second.

[Xithras]

29. Two, neither of them my own.

One was a friend who was married to a serial philanderer. He just wanted her to support him, but she "loved" him and would take him back whenever they got into a fight. After one particularly nasty breakup (he hit her several times), several friends and I paid him a visit to repay the favor. Another of our friends moved in with her temporarily to keep her "company", and we worked together to keep them apart. We intercepted love letters, erased answering machine messages, talked her into changing her phone numbers, and eventually into divorcing him. We lied through our teeth to her ("See, he doesn't even call. He doesn't want you back this time"), but eventually got her to give in. Last I heard, the guy was a meth freak, so the intervention was probably a good one.

The other one was a married co-worker who kept having affairs with women and flaunted them to the rest of us. He pissed me off one day when he called her a "useless anchor" and referred to his kids as money grubbing urchins. We had several photos from various office parties where he'd shown up with his girlfriends, and I anonymously emailed them to his wife. AFAIK, she left him right away.

[Ellen Forradalom]

30. That first one

was a good deed. Tough, but damn, it should happen more often.

The second one, well, the fact that he was being a total asshole about his affairs is what pushed you to act, sounds like. So probably ultimately for the best, too.

[gmoney]

36. Just my folks...

although this is in dispute
