left by a lifepartner on the anniversary of your first date?

Conversely, have you ever served divorce papers (or left a life partner) on the anniversary of your marriage or other commitment?



I have noticed that some people tend to start and end relationships in the same particular months over the course of their lives. Why do you think that is?

I have often wondered if it is tied to the anniversary of some important earlier event in a person's life. What do you think?

No but I just signed my divorce papers & they are on the way to her

i could care less really!!!!

No..never happened to me like that...always random

Was married in March and and 19 days before our 22nd anniversary in March... I was running out the door...

You know I never thought about it before, but we had our first date in October and 26 years later he left in October. Wow.

Yes. Met in June. Left in June. 13 years apart

NO but I found out my now Ex was in the sack with someone less then 1 month after our 20th wedding anniversary

It's hard for me talking about stuff like this. I signed the divorce papers she put in my face, because I truly believe in the old saying, "If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, it's yours. If it doesn't it was never meant to be." *sigh* Fat lot of good that did me. I found out later that she cheated on me beforehand. Not that it matters much now, just makes her a felon. (Obtaining a legal signature through deception) Not that I have the heart to press charges. It'd affect her professional career as a Chemist if it came out that she was a...woman of different morality. No, the divorce wasn't on any particular date that I would recall otherwise.

Ouch. Mine was a five year relationship, but only two years of marriage. (Well, I almost made it to two years.) I don't know how you feel, but I can understand it, as it is what I feel times a whole bunch from all the time spent together.

My ex walked out on us 3 days after our 5th anniversary, had his girlfriend living with him less than 2 weeks later (and there was nothing going on while he was still with me, as if I believe it), few weeks after that she was pregnant.

Dang, met my ex in April, married him in June. Ten years later divorced him in September.

BUT!!!! - he was alcoholic and it killed his heart, he was in the hospital basically being kept alive by meds and tubes (13 years after our divorce) and he told them to stop the meds -- and he died about on April 6th at about 2 a.m., missing my birthday by 2 hours, (April 5th). He could never remember my birthday any other time.

Not anniversaries but the summer months seem to be my bad time for relationships.....thus my profile headline.
My last 3 relationships all ended in the heat of the summer.....2 by me and one by the guy. Maybe I should just take summer vacations and forget about relationships until the fall.

Married July 20, 2002
Seperated July 27, 2007

Divorce was finalized on his birthday, but that was his own stupid fault for not a agreeing to settle out of court when I was already agreeing to give him almost everything.

All of my important relationships have ended in the same month they started; one to the exact day.

By chance and circumstance, I began the ending of one of the important relationships on the person's birthday.

March 7, 1969, my mom got married for the second time
March 8, 1977, her divorce was final
March 7 was one girlfriend's birthday
March 7, 1989, we seperated
March 7 1997 my divorce from wife #1 was final

Other than that, nothing especially significant happens in March, except to note that the first quarter of the year typically represents 20% of annual earnings. This year, however, is much different, as it is the beginning of a major growth spurt, already up 63%

July 4th was my maternal grandmother's birthday.
July 4th, my natural father died
20 years later, July 4th, my 1st step-father died.
I'd call it a coincidence, but it's not. Both were alcohol related, and both of their lives were shortened by their own addictions.
