The other day, I saw a guy I used to know from Church. I told him to say hi to his wife for me. Guess who got divorced? #LFMF

’til death do us part… or until we get bored, or something better comes along… I think that’s how it goes, right?
…in sickness and in health… unless a witch turns you into a Newt.
… I got better.
Ten Internets for you, Jeff!
BEST COME BACK EVER!
At least it was just a divorce…I mean, she could have died, you know – that’d be much more of a fail than this little episode.
how is it a fail? Was he/she supposed to keep track of the other guy’s life? From the post, I don’t think they’re close friends, so I think it was a natural thing to ask.
And if he gets hurt because he/she asked, then he’s an idiot.
^comment WIN!
Why is saying that a fail?
Let’s be honest, there’s a 50/50 chance of this situation occurring with any married person you encounter.
Why would you capitalize church? Is the name of your church Church?
What a boring non-fail. People you “used to know” from some random place can’t expect you to stalk their lives and know what they’ve been up to.
This completely. I think it would be a bigger fail to ask if someone were still married. Although, asking “how is your family?” might be a better way to phrase it if you wish to avoid this situation in the future.
“The… the children died in a car accident. Then my wife… she left me soon after. She s-said she couldn’t look at me anymore w-without seeing Timmy’s sweet little face. I… I have to go.”
and your point is?
even if that would be the answer to the question, it’s still true that the person asking isn’t supposed to know it.
Well, “family” also could include the other person’s parents, siblings, etc. Leaves a bit more room for them to answer the question how they like.
Not a fail. Awkward, but not a fail.
Right. It’s hardly a fail to assume that someone is still with a partner that he had made a solemn promise to stay with for the rest of his life. I’d be more offended if someone asked “are you still together” as someone above pointed out! If anything, it’s the guy’s fail for marrying the wrong woman, but that’s such a common fail these days that it doesn’t really count as a fail any more.
Just because they’re divorced doesn’t mean he married the “wrong” woman. Perhaps she married the wrong man! Haha.
Kidding aside, there was probably blame on both sides. It seems to me that there usually is when divorces happen.
Yeah, obviously they both married the wrong person, but I meant it’s the guy’s fail rather than OP’s (and awas being facetious of course) – sorry, should have worded it better…
LoL it’s ok, I was just having a bit of fun. I’m of the opinion, too, that more marriages could work out if some couples just gave it more of a chance. I think some people just give up on it too soon. Not the case with all of them, of course, but it seems no one takes lifetime vows seriously enough to give it a fighting chance, KWIM?
Shouldn’t say “no one” takes them seriously, I didn’t think about that as I was typing. But it does seem like many couples don’t have much of an intent to stay together for life.
Absolutely, 100% agree with you.
I’m not saying that all couples can know for sure what is going to happen between them, because nobody can. And I’m not saying all couples have to stay together forever. But I do think that if you are going to get married, you have to be seriously sure that nothing you can possibly imagine could break you up. I don’t think enough couples pay attention to warning signs, or wait long enough to be sure. My parents have been together for over 40 years and have gone through a LOT of rough times – I remember them screaming at each other back in the ’80s that they both wanted a divorce but couldn’t afford one – but it was worth them riding out the storms, even if they didn’t really want to, because now they’re in their 60s and really happy together.
I DID! WOO HOO! SWEET FREEDOM!
