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

      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.

      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 ... :-)

                Wow, just wow! That must mean I'm one of the privileged persons to know people that don't have this shortcoming. Maybe it has something to do with being brought up in a time when we were taught to fix things instead of just throwing them away. Cheers!

                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 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 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.

                        You must live in a box then. Certainly don't program. After all have you never burned dinner more than once? Only failed to put a semi-colon on a line of code once? Never hit your thumb with a hammer more than once? Never fell off a bike more than once? Never tripped over your own feet more than once? Never slipped on ice more than once? Never mistyped a word more than once? Never let slip an inappropriate comment more than once? ...and on and on and on....

                          All of your examples, and not only morethan once, but often ! But all of your examples are not errors /faults in the manner I spoke about; they are all little accidents, caused from inattentiveness or a intertupting phone call. If you ask the MIQ (most important question, I hve a patent pending on this acronym :-)) you think about it beforehand for a while - it's (mostly) not an ad hoc decision, likewise if you ask yourself about founding a Company with someone. THIS is what I meant with 'never make an error / fault more than once.

                                However you didn't qualify it in your first response. And regardless... In the context of marriage people don't marry the same person they divorced (the few cases that occur are below the noise level.) And due to the passage of time from one marriage to the next neither participant is the same person anyways. So it isn't the "same" mistake.
