Yeah, jokes about marriage are perfectly fine for a person with 5 marriages. If they don’t like it, they can get married less.
If you like marriages so much, then WHY DON’T YOU MARRY EM???
Or at least choose more carefully the next time 🤷🏻
Errmm. At 5 marriages you gotta start thinking maybe it’s you and not necessarily the choices you’re making.
¿Por que no los dos? 🤷🏻

If you can choose, why don’t you choose?
No
Warm take: every marriage after the first should be a courthouse wedding. If it’s one person’s first, maybe a less than 30 people reception should be thrown. I don’t know why I think this
Because they cost tens of thousands of dollars and force everyone you know to make room in their schedules go out of their way to put up with all the pomp and circumstance while making you the center of attention and feigning sentimentality, possibly also with the assumed obligation of bringing an expensive gift?
I swear some people just get married for the wedding and then get divorced as soon as the honeymoon is over, rinse and repeat. It’s like they’re addicted to being the center of attention and can’t get over the fact that no one really cares about them, and this is the only real way for them to have a captive audience.
Yeah, that’s what you get when you teach people to want a wedding. I’ve met lots of people like that, they don’t care who they’re marrying but just the fact that they’re getting married. Why did we decide the partnering event is more important than whom you’re getting partnered with?
Anything after 2 and you’re in “Vegas Chapel With Elvis Impersonator” territory.
I got married on a mountain when I was homeless so I got incriminated against by the whole police insubstrate
GenX here, using the 80/20 rule 80% of my friend’s marriages (probably higher %) have ended in divorce. Typically after kids are involved. :-/
Well you’re what’s in common between all of your friends, so logically…
Look, I touched the bride’s butt once at the reception. Never living that down am I?
Yeah, you thought you did, but it was actually my hand that was there.
First off, he’s an excellent couple’s counselor and, sure, all his friends went to him, but their divorces are not his fault!
Feel slightly attacked here… I was maid of honor ONCE and that marriage lasted less than a year.
My spouse on the other hand: twice. Both marriages have lasted (so far) between 5-10 years, seem to be in best health and another friend asked him to be best man for his anniversary marriage (this time for the church).
I often joke that people should choose more carefully.
Conclusion: kids are the cause of 60% of divorces.
When you consider that they’re also the main contributor to overpopulation, the conclusion is inescapable:
We need a worldwide moriatum on procreation and possibly an immediate and comprehensive culling of everyone currently younger than 8.
Anyways, vote Viking Hippie for county treasurer!
That’s definitely higher than average, do you have any idea why?

You can be together and not get married.
There are a LOT of benefits to being married. Especially if one of you needs to make legal decisions for the other one.
That was one of the main drivers for pushing for gay marriage in the 2000’s. There were a lot of high profile cases where one of the two were nearing the end of their life, and the family that were pissed about having a “gay son” who hadn’t talked to them in 20 years were the ones making the decisions instead of the husband who wasn’t technically a husband in the legal system for 20 years.
conservative gays : but no, we don’t need that, that’s a straight institution. More boats in my throat please.
edit : boots , not boats, but fuck it, imma leave it in
That’s where power of attorney comes into play?
There are, but there are also a lot of drawbacks to bring divorced multiple times. This also depends on how long and far the person is taking at the “getting to know each other” stage before marriage, etc as well
Big if true!
I informed each of my 3 sons-in-law on their wedding day that each of my Daughters were “No deposit, No return” And so far, none of them has asked for a refund.
So I count that as win.
That’s the cave man explanation of consummation too
This reminds me of my brother. I’d known my wife for two months before we got married. We celebrate 10 years next month
Meanwhile, in the same time frame, he’s on wife six.
Sounds like my brohther in law. He and others were taking bets on how long my wife and I would last, with nobody thinking we would make it past a year.
It was 17 years this year. BIL is on wife #3.
People like that think if they can do “better” than their peers, they’re winning somehow with relationships.
They have a fundamental misunderstanding about what relationships are about.
Which is why theirs fail. They think it’s a game and there’s points and winners and losers.
They will never learn that it’s about putting someone else’s needs ahead of your own sometimes is what’s best in life.
I have someone to care for, and she cares for me. That’s all I ever wanted. Her getting excited about my dumb nerd stuff is just a bonus.
Team effort always. Making each other better. Caring for each other when down.
It makes me sad some people can get so lost in material things and lose the thing that makes us human.
2 months seems quick to me, but I’m also feeling like I’m in a similar position. I’m dating someone currently that I’ve know for a while, and I’m thinking about proposing soon (we’re only a couple months into an actual relationship, and we’ve also talked about me doing this). I’m a little worried we’re both just getting carried away. So I guess my question to you is how did you know so soon, or was it a leap of faith in a way?
From personal experience on this, it ended terribly for me. I didnt really know the person I married and we were completely incompatible together. Mostly because I’m incompatible with being abused and she was incompatible with not abusing people.
I suggest cooling your jets and moving in together for a year. Maybe even two. Then propose if it goes well in that year or two. But not after 2 months…
Mostly because I’m incompatible with being abused and she was incompatible with not abusing people.
That was a freaking funny way to say that man, especially in contrast to the content.
A combination of both, really. We just…knew. And I’ll be honest, it’s taken work. A lot of it. Our main rules are honesty and communication. We also tell people marriage isn’t 50/50. It’s 100/100. If you’re giving only 50%, you’re holding back and it won’t work.
Is there a reason not to wait until you’ve cooled off out of new relationship energy? Maybe it’s not a bad idea, but being early in a relationship is a sort of being high on each other. The relationship will cool down as it matures, that’s not to say it gets worse, when it’s great it gets different but remains wonderful. But early on you’re not in the long term stage and you don’t truly know how you or your partner will be in that stage.
If there’s a good reason, go for it, but it carries risk.
My husband and I knew within a few months that we were in love and we wanted to be together forever. We got engaged right away, but we waited a year after that to get married.
We were very young, but we’ve put in the work and we still take time to have fun together. We’ll celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary next month.
Every time I see this boomer joke, the number of marriages has increased
That’s because they keep giving her back.
Give her it back
I will marry you if you don’t say that again
Bro, i can kinda see doing a ceremony a 2nd time, but a fith time? No fucking way. A nice family and friends dinner or catered event sure, after a court house simple marriage.
Third time, it’s a toast during a dinner.
Fourth time, it’s an email.
Fifth time it’s an intervention.
Youd think after the 2nd or 3rd he’d change his return policy…
