When someone asks about my former marriage, I tell them: We had a very happy sixteen years, I consider it successful. We had a terribly emotional amputation of a divorce.
When a married person asks me for advice, I tell them: Understand your money. Don’t leave it up to your partner.
When a single person asks me what makes a marriage last a long time, I tell them: Like the same movies and series.
When a new parent asks for advice, I say nothing.
When a married woman wonders if she should get a divorce, I tell them: Don’t wait.
Solid list. Not so bad advice.
I know you mentioned in a previous piece that if you had to do it all over again, you would choose not to have kids, at least in this day and age. Can you give a bit more advice for us fence-sitters? Thank you 🙏
