Did they know something I didn't know? I bet you two kids won't last a year. Then it was I bet you two kids won't last five years. Okay, so lasted 4 years the first time. Then those warnings. In writing it is called foreshadowing but you don't really don't know that until you read the whole story. Then, they have the audacity to call you kids when they have given their blessings for the marriage. And then much later you realize that maybe you two were just kids.

that sucks,,,,,,

I was a kid the first time I got married but I was very mature and we lasted much longer than what was expected(although noone took bets) and would have grown old together if my husgand had not made the terrible mistake of infidelity,, we loved each other very much and worked together,, which is the recipe for success in my opinion

My parents family were wrong. But even now they'll still take bets on whether my folks will stick it out. Last year, my grandmother mailed my mom a b-day card with her maiden name. 37 yrs...

However, my folks were right about the one ex being greedy and out for the stuff. They'd changed their will so I wouldn't get certain things, and made my brother the executor. The ex's first comment was "well, I hope they write you back into the will" in a really nasty tone of voice. I was appalled.

Very weird.......

I don't think I was that mature in my first marriage. Unless you consider keeping a job mature. After the job I came home and my job was over I thought. Of course, it really doesn't work that way when you have kids. At first it was y'all kids behave because your daddy worked hard all day. That lasted for a short while and then it was I have had these kids all days now you deal with them.

I am sorry that happened to you. I wished it could have worked.

Sometimes we can be too close to the problem and don't the insights that others do.

I thought it was weird, too. but maybe it was meant for us to try to stick it out since some marriages go through rocky starts.

I wouldn't care. It's none of their business. Most (not all) in-laws are such nosy-bodies and visit their negativity and advice where it doesn't belong. They feel that being "family" entitles them to your personal lives.

Just smile and nod - then drink a lot!

Who I'm with now is who I should have been with all along, We both know this,Love always finds its way, though it took us 20 years to get together, because of family friends busy bodies that thought they knew better,and that we don't belong, well we have had problems but always come back to where it all started back in 1989, Leaves us to wonder how different or lives would have been if only given the chance.. I would have ran away with him when I was 14-teen & he 16 just ti marry and be together, My parents worse fear.. But alas we never got the chance to be alone and talk back then..to many people kids like us & adults wanted to keep us apart, now my family and still friends his & mine want to do the same, but we are grown & no one can tell us what to do or who to love.. I"m still angry about the time we lost.. but just pray we have 3 times as long to be together now...

I am glad it finally worked out for you.
