          Errors can be repeated in so many ways. Let's just hope Mike didn't marry and divorce the same woman twice. Cheers!

                      I made that mistake unfortunately, the post on facebook about the can dispenser is my ex-wife (the one I married twice) and although I am civil to her I consider her a crazy bitch and was going to leave a smart ass remark but I have to control myself because my children are also in our friend circle.

                          True, but back then I was inclined to try the impossible - it seemed the honourable thing to do and all that.

                            I don't think you are to shame here Mike. Sometimes things don't run like we expect, but giving a relationship a second chance even after a divorce is for me more like a sign of hope instead of defeat or resignation. So it didn't work out, what the heck, nobody can say you (and that includes her as well) didn't at least try. Cheers! :thumbsup:

                              True, at the time I was constantly on the road and working on getting my career going and neglected the relationship so I quit traveling and remarried but it was to late. If it was meant to be it would be!

                                    Worldwide the divorce rate is in average about 40%, but inside the NSA it is only about 2% Why: The NSA is able to listen ... :-)

                                      The numbers are skewed by people who marry and divorce several times. i.e. if you and someone who'd been divorced three time were the source, it's be a 75% divorce rate.

                                      I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

                                        I don't think your little snip at younger people is really fair, I know a few people going through or recently gone through a divorce and they're all 50s or 60s, so they'd have been brought up in those rose-tinted times too.

                                          The numbers are skewed by people who marry and divorce several times. i.e. if you and someone who'd been divorced three time were the source, it's be a 75% divorce rate.

                                          The 50% figure thrown around years ago was counting all divorces. The actual divorce rate is very hard to determine since you'd need to track people over time. In the end, it does appear that the divorce rate for first marriages is between 28% and 40%, with most studies I've seen leaning toward the higher number. Subsequent marriages fail at an increasingly and much higher rate.
