When my parents separated I was relieved. It was a living hell but then we were homeless etc etc. When I say marriage I don't necessarily mean that piece of paper but a fully committed relationship, having children maybe, the works and totally what both partners want.
Your sisters just haven't come across the right men yet. They will knuckle down when/if they do.
Nothing in life is perfect and no one person can make or hope to make it so. Living is exploring and doing what gives you pleasure and it shouldn't make you feel as though you're on the stage.
Once you take away the whole wedding idea you may relax more then it may happen in time if/when you're both willing. Or it may not!
I'm sure it has no affect really and is more to do with who happens to be where we are at any given time. I think the genes have a bit to do with it but not things rubbing off on us. My son and daughter have been on totally different journeys so far.
Family are a feeling of belonging or longing and they will always be deeply important which ever way we play it.
I agree with your first comment and I almost wished I hadn't put this one up but I thought the poll results alone may have been interesting but that has been a flop.
Your whole story is more like the stories I hear about daily and you've done so well for your children.
I'm wondering if it may be easier for those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths although I do know some great, large families who are pretty poor financially but ecstatically happy with so much love around them.
You misunderstand Viv, I'm only sociable if I come across my Ex husband because the children asked of that and I don't 'talk to him' in the sense that we are friends. OMG no!
On our way out for the evening my Ex always used to say, " You're not going out like that are you?" and" You can't make a silk purse out of a pigs ear"
Apart from my Ex husband and his antics I got home to find that the love of my life had packed his bags and gone. There was no argument etc. The shock made me numb which helped me get some distance before having to deal with it. The biggest problem was when he started ringing and texting and I couldn't bear hearing his voice and tears on the end of the phone.

RE: Is there only one true love in life or it is only a myth? Is there just one special, magical, perfec
My mother had a man she'd called the love of her life but he died after two years of marriage.Everyone told me what a kind and lovely man he was but my argument is that no one will ever know how long this euphoria will have lasted.
Perfect people can be very hard to live with... so I'm told!
I think that even people in love can become bored with one another.
Some are just very good actors!
