You're going to have to recount the whole SWWYO saga to me sometime. I know there's a backstory there, I just don't know what it is. (Other than he/she being slightly unbalanced due to, I assume, too much exposure to the SLC media.)

I admire people who marry and divorce young, before kids. That shows a tremendous amount of self awareness, especially if they have a religious background. That's one thing I've always admired about Mudphud.

By the way, "I wish I hadn't married so young," is such a common regret it qualifies as a cliche. Still, it's probably a regret many don't divulge. So don't expect to get honest answers to your post, Poke.
By the way, I was 26 when I married the first time, and, yes, I was too young.

Well, I'm likely done with it because it's not an interesting or debatable subject. I think Poke even meant it as a rhetorical question.

We discussed your questions occasionally at my former law firm (and with a large firm in San Francisco, my lifestyle was/is a bit outside the norm), and while few envied my early years of ascetism-by-default, most allowed that those years tended to make my later years far more satisfying than theirs. Life is filled with tradeoffs, and most of those we've made have turned out very well. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but the life we chose has worked very well for us. |
