As you were. <br /><br />Ziggi, I don't think I could have contemplated a second marriage and rather admire those who do. Hope is only too easily dampened by experience, and I'm more afraid of disappointment than unhappiness.<br /><br />I do believe that it's worth trying though, and never to give up. I explain earnestly and at length to the Sage when I'm not happy and, being a kind man, he tries to help. He doesn't change, of course, but it encourages me all the same, until I get over it and revert to my usual self.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-42741615453007235132010-03-01T19:13:18.136+00:002010-03-01T19:13:18.136+00:00Phew indeed.....I'm with Marion on this...I...Phew indeed.....I'm with Marion on this...I've always thought that would be a good idea.....or should I just leave a note saying...'I'm going out...I may be some time'<br />Ziggi probably has the right idea though.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16592616458943756399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-84960780543034707832010-03-01T17:08:49.863+00:002010-03-01T17:08:49.863+00:00hmmmm, it's all so much effort isn't it? I...hmmmm, it's all so much effort isn't it? It would have been so much easier to have kept Husband no 1, or just killed him outright, but he was a good father and my children might not have understood. However Husband no 2 has turned out to be a man not unlike Husband no 1. Alike in being a man I mean, but unlike in every other respect. Ideally I would like a mixture of the two - that would actually be the perfect man. <br />.<br />.<br />.<br />I seem to be having one marriage in 2 halves, I hadn't realised until now!Zighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-14200135214021018372010-03-01T14:10:40.938+00:002010-03-01T14:10:40.938+00:00Well, that is pretty awesome.

Well, they met thanks to the flooding; the rest came later.<br /><br />They were a pair of brothers and two sisters, the dark ones made one couple, the fair ones another.

One reason I emphasise the Sage and my commitment to each other is to demonstrate non-availability! Saves awkwardness, most of the time. Getting old helps, too!<br /><br />Yes, Badge - not sure if it's quite polite to identify them here but it's true, they met in my comment box. They sent me photos of their wedding - I sort of feel like a fairy godmother.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-62028473938394856832010-03-01T12:21:15.604+00:002010-03-01T12:21:15.604+00:00A couple that met here got married???A couple that met here got married???badgerdaddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275758525851693777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-82956169014914527962010-03-01T11:56:20.098+00:002010-03-01T11:56:20.098+00:00OMF has the right idea IMO.

In either event, it means the Sage is still stuck with me for a few years, so I'll relax for now.<br /><br />Bearing in mind the now-married couple who met on this very blog, I find this inexplicable, Dave.<br /><br />No, hang on. "Suitable". I think "delightfully unsuitable" is a better description of my friends.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-57474397258681895682010-03-01T07:17:12.747+00:002010-03-01T07:17:12.747+00:00I'm still waiting for the internet to throw so...I'm still waiting for the internet to throw someone suitable my way.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-9611987334601810232010-02-28T23:52:01.390+00:002010-02-28T23:52:01.390+00:00I think marriage should have renewable terms.
