"Haha my first marriage never survived SWINGING HEAVEN lol" I've seen several marriages and relationships come to grief via swinging sites unfortunately. My GF and I remarked at the time, why on earth would you cheat on your partner if you're both swinging together? But people did. | |||

" Don't think you have got to go back to the 1800s [not checked your profile to see how old you are  ] but until fairly recent years marriage was a life long commitment and a lot of people did live into their 80s and beyond. Three of my aunts celebrated their golden weddings. I know quite a lot of other people who have done as well. On the other hand I heard recently that one of my 2nd cousin's FIFTH ing have just ended.
People are still getting married. Some rush into it for all the wrong reasons. Divorce is ridiculously easy now and seems to be an option rather than a last resort. You even get couples entering into pre-nuptial agreements in case it does not work out. I rather like the idea of being committed to one person for life even though I'm not sure it would actually suit me and I've left it too late in life now | |||

"A young Sudanese man, a refugee with the right to live in the UK, says he wants to marry me. He is 24 and I am 57. What could possibly go wrong? Anyway, I invited him to spend the weekend at my place at the end of the month. Assuming we get in, I've asked him to come with me to Benidorm in March. "I've no doubt he'll get in... Judging by your posts, he'll probably fall in...  | |||
