50 Percent Marriage Failure?!!!

[Guest guest]

Wow--I didn't realize it was this much. It is tough for us singles and

the marrieds too. I sure hate to hear that it is 50 percent though.

Guess it makes sense--people who become stronger and confident will not

take leftovers or just any kind of treatment like they used to. I know

that being single, I have lots more rules at 50 to even consider a man

than I did when I was overweight. It is such a learning process for us

all. After all, life and love is what its all about and we ALL want the

right thing no matter what size.

If anyone hears of studies on this let us know where we can read about

it.

I was surprised too yet not really. Considering when I

was morbidly obese, I was willing to settle for anyone

who would pay attention to me but knew I was worthy of

more. I broke off 2 engagements in my 20s and figured

at 350+ lbs I was doomed to be single. Just when I

gave up I met my husband. He loved me at 463 lbs and

loves me more today. He always respects my opinion

and treats me so well. sure, we have our battles,

like when I spend too much time reading email

but he kinda spurts at me and I spurt

at him and all is settled. He was and still is my

biggest supporter with the surgery and is always

telling me that even with the sharpei look, I am

beautiful and he *lusts* after me. (ACK BACK BACK,

gotta go to work!!!)

So, our marriage was made stronger and we love each

other more today than ever.

However, I can see where, if I had married one of the

other guys, I would have been divorced after I got my

confidence back and a better self image. I am forever

grateful to my mom for gently talking to me over the

many years that I did not need a partner to be a whole

person. If she had not sent these postive vibes and

images to me, I may have *settled* for the wrong

person out of desperation and fear of being alone.
