My marriage is over--- my wife and I are getting a divorce.

[trumad]

The institute of marriage has been destroyed forever!


I guess I need to add this: :sarcasm:

[rurallib]

1. us too - 37 years down the drain

[WhiteTara]

2. Let me guess

Now that others have equality, you can no longer survive as an unequal couple (she being the 2nd class citizen.) :rofl:

[kentuck]

3. I thought it was only mine?

It must be nationwide? :-)

[Xipe Totec]

4. You only live once,

twice if you get divorced.

[PatSeg]

5. Its the beginning of the end of civilization

God help us.

6. I was straight before, but now I'm going to become gay. Not much choice, really. Sorry ladies.

I read a piece in the daily news that detailed the disadvantages of gay marriage. One of the points was that it would make the marriage market even worse for single women. I didn't think about that before, and it almost changed my mind. After all, don't we want more people trapped in unhappy marriages likely to fail? Isn't that the overarching goal?

[southernyankeebelle]

15. Believe it or not there are married straight and gay. I know at 3 couples

that have been married over 30 to 40 yrs and are still together. I think its weird but they are sincerely happy. Many of them have kids. At least one couple has a daughter that is gay. They are excepting people.

[Bryn]

26. My Gay Uncle was married to Aunt Jane for 45 years

They actually were happy together and loved each other before his death 3 years ago. She accepted that he was gay, they had no sexual relationship, adopted a baby girl. They were best friends to each other and enjoyed each other company.

[DireStrike]

51. Interesting. Never heard of anything like it.

It actually sounds like a pretty good setup in the right circumstances, lol.

[yardwork]

17. Isn't it terrible that gay men aren't forced to marry those single women? What's the world coming to

[dixiegrrrrl]

30. Wait....whut???

it would make the marriage market even worse for single women.??????????

god, THAT gave me a headache just thinking about the stoopidity of it.

[JohnnyRingo]

7. I went through two marriages

...and that's when they were just talking about legalizing gay marriage.
So consider that!

[WolverineDG]

8. I'm not even married & MY marriage has been destroyed

Oh Noes!

and yeah :sarcasm: for the :sarcasm: impaired.

[madmax]

9. I'm glad you added that :sarcasm:

From what I read in your posts you 2 seem wonderful together. But, thanks for the chuckle.

[malaise]

10. We're too far away for a New York decision to affect us

but who knows what will trickle down by year end. :evilgrin:

[Tesha]

16. I dunno about that...

It only took a few years for those Rainbow Ripples*
to reach across the mighty Hudson from Massachusetts
to Albany; now, amplified by all the folks in the
Empire State, they'll eventually sweep across New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, and then who knows how far
they may go?

* Thanks to another poster on another thread for
the phrase "Rainbow Ripples"; it's a much nicer
sounding replacement for "gay rays".

[malaise]

20. LOL

:hi:

[socialist_n_TN]

45. OH, NO! The modern day version of the

domino theory. :)

Next everybody will have to become communist. :evilgrin:

[Tesha]

46. That's precisely what I was thinking of -- well spotted! (NT)

[taterguy]

11. Suck on it you jealous douchebag

I guess I need to add this:

Riff on a thread in the Sports Forum.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. This must explain Newt.

[Faygo Kid]

13. The whole concept broke up my marriage 17 years ago.

Someone mentioned gay marriage as an actual possibility at some distant date instead of a theoretical construct and of course we had to end our marriage immediately.

[Wilms]

14. Don't worry. I'm sure you'll meet a nice guy.

:D

[treestar]

18. You don't even need the divorce

Civilization as such is falling down as we speak! :rofl:

[Gormy Cuss]

19. You don't need a divorce. Hetero marriages just dissolve instantly once teh gays get the right. n/t

25. I'm going to break the bad news

to my wife tonight, and, then break the good news to my male Aardvark lover that we can tie the knot. Thanks Santorum.

[Aviation Pro]

27. Yep...

...infidelity, financial pressure, the fact that you picked up your spouse in an alcoholic haze in some douchebag bar has nothing to do with it. It's always been about teh gays.

:sarcasm:

[rbnyc]

28. The sanctity of my marriage has already been threatened by Gay Marriage!

I was up so late last night celebrating that this morning I was too tired for Saturday Morning Nookie.

:evilgrin:

[alfredo]

29. Yeah, the prohibition against same sex marriage was the

only thing that kept my wife and I together.


I do have my eye on this cute Dalmatian down the street. Rick Santorum was right.

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. Good news for the divorce lawyers..a booming business now!!!

:sarcasm:

[madinmaryland]

32. Sorry to hear that trumad. I assume the dog now has your undivided attention.

:hi:

[gkhouston]

34. Poor dog. n/t

[gkhouston]

33. Such a mistake on her part. I keep telling her to do you in for the insurance.

:*

[pipi_k]

35. One has only to look at...

the state of Mass, where same sex marriage has been legal since 2004, to see the complete and utter chaos that's happened here because of marriage equality.

Pip, writing from a small chunk of soil floating around in the ocean, surrounded by locusts and killer toads, because Massachusetts was smitten by God...


not that it's needed, but...

:sarcasm:

[roamer65]

38. Every state that passes it, just makes the SS marriage ban states look dumber.

...and rightly so.

pipi is right. life just went on in MA.

[Tesha]

39. It's definitely Equal Marriage that explains Massachusett's shocking divorce rate.

[alterfurz]

37. a tragic scene playing out today all over the Empire State

[eridani]

40. Me too. After 41 years, New York has finally succeededn in destroying my marriage n/t

[bengalherder]

41. Oh fuck.

I just married Mr Right Now (that I had spent the last 14 years with).

Now teh Gay is gonna sweep that all away in the blink of an eye, oh noes! (insert Mc Caulkin Home Alone face here)!!!!!

Hmmm, I see we're pagan/heathen, maybe not....

[Liberal_in_LA]

42. lol. You got me. n/t

[Rhythm]

43. And meanwhile, Lyric and i add another state to consider for grad school!

We're celebrating 12 years together on July 4th!

[boppers]

44. You met on the 4th?

Do the "fireworks" jokes ever get old?

[LynneSin]

49. You should consider Delaware for the wedding - Rehobeth Beach is beautiful

Just remember we beat NY out by a few months :D

[DiverDave]

47. I just asked my wife

she just gave me a weird look and asked me if I was going to weed wack the back yard.
And I said the only thing I could say in that situation..."Yes, Dear"

[LynneSin]

48. BTW you are all invited to the upcoming wedding I am having with my beloved Box Turtle

Isn't he just sexy as all hell.


And up until last night I never thought of Boxy in a sexual way but honestly, we just felt our love was meant to be!


oh and for the idiots who haven't figured it out :sarcasm:

[L0oniX]

50. We are too ...we are tired of being penalized with the cut in our SS benefits
