For Better or for worse....

for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health....those are the vows you take when you get married...
but really..are these just words you repeat without really meaning them?  It sure seems like it to me.

Is a woman justified to go looking for another person, when the husband has put them in financial jeopardy - losing all their money (and not listening to her concerns and wishes in the process)?.  For richer or for poorer...

How about another lady that has just separated from her husband...tired of dealing with her husband's unemployed state after having a nervous breakdown a few years ago?  Once upon a time that same husband paid and put her through college for a master's degree, but now when things are so flipped around, is it okay to part ways?  For better or for worse...

The first case, I can understand the motives of the gal, as she is looking for financial/future security, where her husband has blown it.  Still, people make mistakes and he made one...is it right for her to abandom him for this?   The second case seems like another abandonment story...it just makes me wonder, what/how are people like when things are at their toughest...can they endure?  Are they justified to leave their union?  Are these vows empty words?

    Wow.. that's pretty intense. I have never been married.. I have, however, been engaged. I would love to say that I do not believe in divorce, but I can not say that and 100% believe it. I do believe there are very few reasons to get a divorce. I don't know if you are a religious person, but the Bible says there are only two reasons that a couple may be unbound from their wedding vows.. fornication and death.

    I think the best thing that you can do is follow your heart. In my opinion, there are more than just those two reasons to get a divorce.. IF and only if you have given SAVING your marriage a good, hard fight! You do what you can to try and fix it, but if the fight to save the marriage is only coming from one side, then there is only so much you can do.

    -I think that everyone deserves to be happy.

    WELL I THINK I'LL GET BACK TO ORIGINAL TOPIC. I TOOK THOSE SAME VOWS AND MEANT THEM WITH EVERY FIBER IN MY BEING ONLT TO FIND OUT MY SO CALLRD HUSBAND DIDN'T MEAN NOT ONE WORD. IN FACT, HE TAUNTS ME TELLING ME HOW HE'S ALREADY BEEN PLANNUNG AN OUT. HE'S PLANNED BEFORE HE MARRIED ME. HE SAYS HE HAS ANOTHER WOMAN HE PLANS TO BE WITH THAT IS GOING TO REPLACE ME AS MOTHER OF OUR 6 MONTH OLD BABY GIRL.

    OUR DAUGHTER IS ONE OF THE MOST PERFECT BABBIES YOU COULD EVER MEET. PF ANYONE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IT WOULD BE HIM. TONIGHT HE DECIDED TO KNOCK ME AROUND AGAIN CAUSE IT MAKES HIM FEEL LIKE A REAL BUG MAN I GUESS. I REALLY COULD USE A GOOD FRIEND TO HELP ME THINK THINGS OUT. A FRIEND WHO KNOWS A LITTLE ABOUT TRIBAL LAW AND INDIAN WELFARE ACT ON CHILDREN. I AM AFRAID HE IS GOING TO TRY TO TAKE MY LITTLE GIRL FROM ME. I HAD C.P.S. SHOW UP ON MY DOOR STEP 2 WEEKS AGO SAYING THERE WAS REPORTS FILED ON MY HUSBAND IN 2004 REGAURDING HIS THREE OTHER DSUGHTERS THAT HE HAD MOLESTED THEM. HE DOES NOT DENY MOLESTING HIS YOUNGEST TO ME. I DON'T KNOW EXACT DETAILS. HE HAS MADE SURE THE POLICE THINK I AM LYING TO THEM ABOUT HIM. HE HAS ACTUALLY STADGED OUT SITUATIONS THAT MADE ME APPEAR TO SEEM CRAZY TO ME. HE KNOWS ME TOO WELL.HE IS A MANIPULATOR EXTRODANIER SELF PROCLAIMEND BUT WITNESSED AND BACKED UP BY ME. ANYWAY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE THE POWER TO FIX AN INJUSTICE GET BACK WITH ME AT CAROLYNSAFRAID@YAHOO.COM
