He was bipolar and for a time he was seeing things that weren't there, but this was before I met him.

Although I don't mean to get married...

...I will remember all your pointers here if I ever find myself thinking of it (and actually the one time I did nearly get married, it's quite scary how many of your pointers I can tick now so I'm glad I didn't).

Wow... you really went through it (and I'm sure still are) but you are doing so well,

best wishes,

Funny thing is, I do want to get married again, but this time, I have a LOT more experience.

Well, I didn't go for an STD checkup because I believe him that nothing happened that could actually lead to get an STD, but should I believe him?

It's sad really, when you realize that you married a stranger.

And another thing... once you're in the clear

and one more thing occurs to you that you coulda-shoulda-woulda done to solve all the problems -- write it down, wrap it in toilet tissue and flush it. Never, under any circumstances, give it a try.

My daughter sent me an email when she finally called it quits with her selfish alcoholic ex -- a Dr. Phil Question. Q. What's worse than staying in a bad relationship for nine years?  A. Staying in it for nine years and one day.

This serves to further reinforce my previously held beliefs.

So the "happy ending" isn't just a standart part of the massage "package"?

I knew that bastard was lying!

When Gary told me he was having trouble with his wife, I had to laugh.
Not because of what he said, but because of a joke I thought of.
I told him the joke, but he didn't laugh very much.
Some friend he is!

LOL...No worries 'bout the marriage thing for me, Le Divorce.  Never been married, don't wanna be!  So sorry for all you've been through.

Marriage vows mean nothing anymore, a shame. It has become too easy to get divorced.

There is no gurantee on how a person can change.
