Moniker you are going to have to add commentary of some sort to make a point if you have one. I do leave in a few minutes so you have lots of time to do so. And please don't delete after you do.

Perhaps her point is that statements can be taken out of context, and made to look like something they weren't intended to be. Some of your comments on this thread could likely be subjected to that same treatment.

I don't think she has a point Beastie, nor you, I'd like to see what she has to say.

I was definitely on the wild side before marriage, not after except with my husband. I'm not one for playing mind games, or worrying much about what other people think

You must have been one awesome chick! 35 years, that deserves an ovation! Congratulations

No being married for a long period, doesn't deserve any respect. It's a combination of lucking out by picking a good partner and/or either persevering in the relationship or putting up with a partner when things aren't great. And it's not necessarily the best thing to stay in a marriage, sometimes it's the easiest thing to do, sometimes the best thing for all is to separate even if it's hard. There were many times I thought of separating, we did have serious issues, but I'm very glad now that I didn't. Those issues have finally been worked, and I have the greatest respect and admiration for my husband as an individual. However I don't think it's an accomplishment worthy of respect just because a couple have been married for a long time.

Those were very profound thoughts, marg. Thank you for sharing them.
