i'm divorced twice. the first time i married just as i turned 22, was divorced by the time i was 25. a couple years had gone by and i figured out we split up over something that could have been worked out. basically i drew a line in the sand and she crossed so i called it quits.
the second we were together 7 years total and married the last 2. she was a "funcationing alcoholic", meaning she got up and went to work everyday. i knew she drank and propably to much but had NO Idea she drank ALL Day ! from the time she got up until she went to bed and started over the next day.
one day she dropped over and had a seizure. Doctors explained it from the alcohol, thats how i found out how much she drank.
she dryed out and things were good, until she figured i wasn't good enough anymore. thats was pretty crushing to me.
i was single for 8 years and dated very little, worked a Whole lot. i was re-introduced to my current wife by some friends. we'd not seen each other in about 10 years and she had divorced also.
we've been together for 6 years now and married for 1 year april 10.
i've enjoyed the last 6 years more than any in my adult life and look forward to MANY, MANY more!
i tell this because maybe it just takes some of us to get older or some experience to figure out how it's supposed to work.
sorry for being sappy. thought maybe you'd like a different side of it.

Thanks for this post. I hope that someday I'll meet my life partner too, but in the meantime, I just have to enjoy life for what it is. I've found that when you look too hard for what you want, you sometimes miss it. Sometimes the things that are REALLY the best for you are right in front of you all along, but you don't pay attention because you're too busy looking for what you THINK is the best thing. (Does that make any sense at all?
)
Congrats on your 1 year anniversary coming up.
