Title: are your parents still together?
Post by: phattmatt on May 24, 2014, 06:03:50 AM
I'm always edified when I see a marriage that survives.  That is truly amazing when two people fall in love when they are young and foolish yet can live the rest of their lives together as one unit.

Yes, mine are. I don't think edified is the word you're looking for.

What is a better word for a good example that is inspiring and interesting?
How old were they when they got married ?

No, they aren't (of course, they were never wed to begin with). She had 3 children before me to two (or maybe three) different fathers, and he has had two wives and 4 children since. As for how many children she has had... I think around 8 all together.

As for my adopted family, my mom was married to my dad for 20 some years. They got married when she was 30 and he was 54.

Congratulations to your parents, PopeyesPappy!

Mine will have their 57th anniversary in September, although I doubt my mom will get to see it.

If my mom was still ticking my parents would still be together, probably 60 years or more by now.  Mom died about 21 years ago and dad remarried a few years later and they've been together going on maybe 15 years? I don't really like her, but tolerate her. My dad has to sleep with her, not me.

I believe this entire forum is in fact lying about their parents. Everybody knows you can't be an atheist unless your parents are divorced and you hate your dad.

Joking aside, my parents are together still.

My parents were married for 39 years. My father divorced my mother last year because he didn't want to spend his retirement taking care of her. She has an autoimmune disease that makes her faint and go into epileptic seizures. So, I now take care of her.

I wouldn't care either.  Personally because I hate him. With what you stated, I'd feel the same way Also. That's shitty but it's awesome that you're there for her

My parents have been divorced for almost 12 years now. But everything is fine. My dad is a hilarious, positive guy and my mother is re-married, still a thoughtful and energetic woman that I look up to.

He told me a few years ago that he hates me but still loves me. I told him to fuck himself, and haven't spoken to him since.

I have never been good enough for him. Everything I do is wrong. We barely have spoken in the past 10 years, and not at all in 3 years. However, though he's treated me (psychologically) like shit most my life, my brother and sister are basically saints to him.

My little sister finally realized what a pos ours is. I haven't spoken to him for 5 years and have no intent to do so.
