What's your marital status?

Me? I'm terminally single.

Married once...divorced about 5 years later.



Met Nancy, my current better-half, on a blind date about 23 years ago. We moved in together within a year and have been together ever since.

We often introduce each other as "my wife" or "my husband"...but we have never asked any church or governmental agency to ratify our commitment to each other. So we are not officially married.

I really cannot find an appropriate reponse up in your poll, Duke.

I want to know the reason for this poll first. Is GD setting up a dating agency and doing market research ??

Frank - I was considering an option for 'co-habiting' but decided the whole thing would get too messy with too many other categories needing to be added. From what you've said, re-married is good enough from my purposes. Thanks very much for replying. And I'm ghlad that you are happy enough with the way your relationship is to never feel the need to re-marry and 'make it official'. As long as it suits you both - why bother?

Gautam - I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you... Nah, seriously, once the replies have hit a certain level, I'll let everyone into my idea. But trust me, it's not so I can start a dating agency, and it's probably not as exciting as I may have made it sound! Any why haven't you voted?

Frank, I guess you're "dating" by GD's standard poll answers. In Sweden it would be called SAMBO, which is short for living together, or co-hab. In Germany it'd be a wild marriage!

Wild marriage, oxymoron.

Blame it on the germans, joe...

happy marriage .........oxymoron

I love the germans, you can practically blame everything on them, and nobody cares

married with 5 years old daughter. Happy marriage if you consider the fact that there are no fairy tales in real life.

First time- married 4 years.......a total disaster.

Second time 37+ years..........Think that I am beginning to get things right!

<muffled guffaw>

I'm going through the big D and don't mean Dallas

Me..

Married twice. The first marriage I was 19... it lasted 6 mos. That is how long it took me to sober up from all the boose >sigh< bad story.

This time,
I met my husband while I was on vacation in Austin. I lived in New mexico at the time . I came to Austin to see an old school friend. He was her boyfriends best friend.
Byt he end of my 3 days vacation he and i both said, it is time for one of us to move. With in a month, I moved to Austin and we married. We just had our first / only child 8 mos ago.
That was some years ago.. Happily married. I am.
:-)

I have been in all of the categories above.
But currently, I am happily married.

I just celebrated my 15th anniversary. We lived together for 5 years before we married. I've spent nearly half of my life with Mr. B. So far, so good!

I never wanted to be married and never wanted children.....I've been married 5 times and I have 5 children....that I know of <<<hitches up pants and swaggers away>>>>

Man proposes.... God disposes....

Frank, that's so sweet. Does your state have some common law about you two being married b/c of how long you guys have lived together?

Anyway, this thread was calling my name. I'm always dying to post something wedding related.


*tongue*

Only 163 more days.

Very happily married.

Nope...no common law thing at all.
