Question of the Day!

I agree. I saw a lot of my family and the wife's family being married young and landed up divorced, miserable or worse. I had a prior marriage before I met my wife but fortunately I was in my late teens and was out of it by 23. So, I was lucky enough in that respect I got out of it early. I did learn from it what I may have done wrong and definitely what I would not tolerate in another partner.

I stayed single for the next few years and had a grand old time until I ran into my wife eventually. There were women in between I could have gotten into relationships with but my instincts where waving the red flag...lol

I truly found the right person with my wife. The fit was too natural and the comfort level was uncanny. Like we were lifelong friends but just met a few hrs prior. It was like hitting the jackpot. Time just went by too quick.

So being in that first marriage as an older teen, I was young enough to learn and got out relatively still young. Yet I understand very well your take on it and how it could have turned out so differently for me.

I wish I had a time machine. I'd transport ya back to that time with what you know now.
