SpeedRacer 1 #1 October 2, 2002 OK, let's hear what y'all think: My cousin is 27 years old. He is about to marry a woman who is 46 years old. They've know each other for one month. The wedding is in two months. Anyone else see anything wrong with this picture, or is it just me?

jlmiracle 7 #5 October 2, 2002 QuoteIs she rich? Chris I was thinking the same thing - seen it before. It doesn't last.Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #8 October 2, 2002 One month is just flat out not long enough. I've been in relationships before where the first month we were totally nuts about each other. I remember one where the first month or two I was thinking. "Oh my God she might be the one!" Then by month four it was: "No, she isn't!" One month ain't long enough, IMHO.

SatchFan 0 #10 October 2, 2002 Damn, it can't be THAT good. He's got to realize that if it wasn't her it would just be somebody else. What's his explanation for rushing things? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #11 October 2, 2002 QuoteI'm thinking there may be some issues going on in both sides of this relationship. My guess is: she's 46 so her clock is ticking. So she issued him The Ultimatum by about date #4. And he went for it b/c he's kinda clumsy/shy with women & is a little desperate. I don't know this, I've never met her & this is all just total conjecture. The situation doesn't look good to me.

billvon 3,031 #13 October 2, 2002 >My cousin is 27 years old. He is about to marry a woman who is 46 > years old. Do they live in California? If so, they're in good company. Most California weddings seem to last less time than my relationships. Talking to people out here can get confusing - they don't just have an ex, they have three. Usually the nomenclature seems to go something like this: "my first" - first marriage "Joe" (or whoever) - second marriage "my ex" - last marriage.

jfields 0 #14 October 2, 2002 QuoteThe wedding is in two months. What is the hurry? If something happened in the month they have known each other, we'll all still be able to do the math anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #15 October 2, 2002 Anyone else here have the experience where you see a friend/family member fixing to marry someone, and everyone but them knows its not going to work out? I know that this current situation isn't the first time I've had this experience.

SatchFan 0 #17 October 2, 2002 Oh sure, I see it all the time. I have yet to catch on for the reasons why people marry so soon. Maybe it has something to with the high divorce rate....but I DUNNO. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #18 October 2, 2002 I mentioned this the other day. Instead of a marriage license, maybe just a "learners permit". You are required to renew it in 6 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #19 October 2, 2002 I knew one girl who seemed to change husbands about as fast as I change toothbrushes. She seems to have settled on one, finally. I think he might be number 4 or something. Maybe she wanted the wedding gifts or something, I don't know.

SatchFan 0 #20 October 2, 2002 I got ya beat. I new a woman in her 40's that had been married 6 times. Yeah, you heard right...6 times. She was working on number 7. You have to wonder what her b/f was thinking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce 1 #21 October 2, 2002 Quote"my first" - first marriage "Joe" (or whoever) - second marriage "my ex" - last marriage. Speedy, he can introduce her as "my future ex-wife" First good "relations"? It could work, but monkeys might fly out of my butt at any time too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
happythoughts 0 #22 October 2, 2002 My fav is the woman who is now on husband number 5. Her ex- hubbies include John Gray - writer of the famed "Venus/Mars" book that tells you how to keep a strong relationship. Know what her claim to fame is? She has an infomercial called "The Love Doctor". She helps people with THEIR relationships. This is like (similie ) buying hair restorer from a bald barber.

SpeedRacer 1 #23 October 2, 2002 ROTFL! So I guess someone with so many marriages under their belt should be a real expert by now, right? Kinda like getting diet advice from a fat person because they've been on so many of them. Reminds me of the Mark Twain quote "It's easy to quit smoking, I've done it hundreds of times!"

mujie96 0 #24 October 2, 2002 Hmmm...marriage...I've done it a few times. My guess is they're already hearing from everyone that it won't work and they have no intention of listening to advice. Give them your blessing, hope for the best, and be there if it doesn't work. Its their decision. Jess Just keep swimming...just keep swimming....

tadbad 0 #25 October 2, 2002 That's just plain nuts. There have been guys that I have dated that initially I am totally into and want to spend every second with. But then for whatever reason...after a couple months into the relationship I can hardle stand being around him!! I can't even imagine marrying someone so soon!! Just tell him to go for the cheap wedding so that he has $$ left over to pay for the divorce! ----------------------------------------------------- When you're going to extremes...you taste adrenaline!!
