I don't recall my parents ever being married. I believe they were and got a divorce sometime before my earliest memories. My mom never re-married, my pops has remarried, to my knowledge only once but right before I was going to be a freshman in high school, my stepmoms and him had a huge fight in which she kept yelling something about being his 4th or 5th. I have no clue and never asked, to my knowledge he's only been married twice so I wouldn't even know where to begin with the other 2 or 3 [and I don't care to]. But yea the main marriage of his, whom I owe my younger sister was pretty terrible imo. Everything just seemed separate in that relationship. They're pretty much divorced/separated now, haven't lived together in over the past 5+ years.

As far as my expectations of marriage because if this, I really don't know. The entire thing will be a learning experience for me.

This reminds of this real cynical teacher I had in middle school. I remember he asked the class how many ppl in the class had divorced or single parents. It's funny, the people who had a 2 parent home were pretty shocked at the ppl who didn't have them. And there were a good amount of ppl who had 2 parent homes who stated the only reason their parents were even still together were because of them [the kids].

The good: A loyal, queen by your side can inspire you to reach for the stars. Also having someone to grow old with is

The bad: I'd rather die than be a henpecked husband

My parents have been married for 30+ years

It's made me want to get married to someone I can go the distance with. Kinda messed up a bit because it's a lot of pressure to have from the get go. Is he "the one"

my parents have been together for over 20 years and all I can expect is equality, no bullshyt, no confusing hassle with a female but you can't expect what your parents have in terms of marriage because back then was a different time, like i said before shyt was more simpler. Now you have social networks and all that crap which can misconstrue small aspects of trying to get at a chic.

My grandfather has been divorced twice, lives alone and is still the happiest and humble 76 year old Jamaican I've ever met

I expect my wife to clean cook look after the kids and to be open and honest with me about our family and be a supportive partner who shares my morals and feelings of familial obligation works hard and is respectful of herself and our relationship and always sacrifices to put children first even above myself or her needs.

My mom and pop

Caused my psych disorders to manifest, first and foremost. My mom just dipped after 17 years of marriage. You would think that a marriage that long would be pretty solid and not end abruptly. Everything seemed cool one day, then I came back from my cousins and mom had packed up a bunch of boxes. Now I'll prob be in a constant state of paranoia when I get married.

hope your pops rebounded and acquired a bad bytch after that

Theirs, along with other marriages in my family, caused me to develop disinterest in the whole concept. At this point its legalities and benefits are the most significant to me.
