"I think vegetables can be very sensuous, don't you?"

"No, vegetables are sensual. People are sensuous."

"Right. Sensual. That's what I meant."

LOL

Is one of them that buddy you brought to SXSW several years ago, who was just about to get married?

You are supposed to sleep with young chicks post divorce, not marry them. Some people never learn.

Cheez-Itz? Does Betty Draper Francis know about this?

His marriage is still going . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

i think you may be misinterpreting the situation. you're nicole.

Considering the rise in the North American divorce rate manifests as much from the failure of second/third/fourth marriages -- i.e. people who are "not the marrying kind" are still getting married, for myriad reasons, ranging from social expectation (morallists in the Newt Gingrich mold, though few so craven as he) to liking a big party (Kim Kardashian in the exemplar here, but even I must admit, "Charles & Di, you had a great wedding, & I'm-a let you finish, but the Kardashian-'Ye nuptials will be the best wedding EVAR") -- I have to think, difficult as it is to believe, that Rapin' Rod's marriage has a better chance of surviving than any of the Obner second/third marriages.

Which, basically, means nobody has it right. & maybe TOOKS as well. (We shall see on that.)

More people really just need to admit I am right.

I failed so utterly, and I failed on the rebound. Shit, I'm hesitant to even commit to a pet dog.

Past statistics have shown that in the U.S. 50% percent of first marriages, 67% of second, and 73% of third marriages end in divorce. What are the reasons for this progressive increase in divorce rates? Theories abound. One common explanation is that a significant number of people enter a second or marriage 'on the rebound' of a first or second divorce. Often the people concerned are vulnerable; they do not allow sufficient time to recover from their divorce or to get their priorities straight before taking their vows again. They enter their next marriage for the wrong reasons, not having internalized the lessons of their past experience. They are liable to repeat their mistakes, making them susceptible to similar conflicts and another broken marriage follows.

Personally, no matter how much I ever fell in with another woman, I would NEVER get married again. And my first marriage wasn't even all that bad up until the last 2 years. In my opinion there's really no reason for it.

Good on those that decide to and can make it work though!

Well I've tried it twice, and don't see myself doing it again.

Yeah, I ain't doing this a third time.

Glad to hear that you don't have a third marriage planned yet.

Bob is going to wait a few years, 'til Squirrrg & ayah can be his Jack-o & Liz Taylor.

Liza = SpoPo?

got bored and decided to go searching for this thread - hard to believe it's been 7.5 years!

my 2nd wife and I just celebrated our 6th anniversary together last week (5 years married as of 7/20).

it's certainly not a perfect marriage - better than the 1st in many ways, but not so in others - yet I think we're both happy, for the most part.

I am steadfastly adhering to my earlier declaration that there will be no 3rd wife. this is the last tango - if it doesn't end up working out, I'll be fine on my own. who knows what the future holds, but things are ok right now.

hope y'all are doing well, and thanks for letting me indulge my slightly ill-advised trip down memory lane...

I feel like we really missed an opportunity here...

going back and reading through all of your responses, I gotta say, y'all are some solid motherfuckers - miss interacting with all of you on a daily basis...
