It wasn't wisdom that put us together. We were both just kids. I feel very lucky. With so many tragic things in my life my husband is my rock. I don't know what I would have done without him as I dealt with my father's Alzheimer's and my brother's suicide.

Deb, three cheers for wedded bliss.

I took my hubby to both my junior and senior proms, married at 21 and wouldn't trade a single day of our life together. We are still growing up together...

Dotsie you are one of the lucky ones, both of you are. I am certain that if Eddie would have lived we would still be together it was that kind of a relationship. Sometimes Vi I think I do feel him by my side and I am positive it is also the reason my second marriage wasn't a barn burner although it did last 14 years, I settled but that never works very long for either party. My third time around was the side affects from insanity caused by caring for a severe dementa patient 24/7 all by myself for 5 years, I was a basket case. He turned out to be a liar and a cad....oh well, live and learn.

Deb, you mentioned your father's Alzheimer's and your brother's suicide. How difficult for you. It is wonderful your husband was supportive during times such as those. Do you need to talk about either or both of these very difficult situations?

Dots, that's wonderful for you. Just wonderful.

Chatty, you're life has been very hard. May blessings find you from now on.

It seems to me that for some of us divorce is a rite of passage. I know I learned so much from mine. Tomorrow my third husband and I celebrate our 15th anniversary. I finally found a sweety.

Vi

Thanks for sharing all of your miles of experiences. I'm somewhere in the middle of everyone. I've had 26 years of a great relationship with a friend, lover and musical partner, which has turned into the last 6 years my being his caregiver as he goes through Alzheimers. Since we've had so many great years together, unlike those of you who lost your partners far too early, I am a willing caregiver through all the different changes that come with this role. I also find it a little difficult to listen to people's struggles with each other but I am also jealous that they have the luxury to be working stuff out.

Vi I guess it has in some ways, my first and best love died and then the second man I thought loved me and did for awhile began to change and then cheat and after 14 years we split up then after a short time he died too from (drugs & booze.) After 14 more years I gave my trust again and BAM another dissapointment from a cronic liar and user. I am now and have been single again for 6 years and never happier. No more men in my life except for colleagues and friends....too old to go through that again. There is nothing as sweet and pure as young love.
