So what? That's a completely irrelevant thing to say.

Sure people stay married. People also get divorced.

Chill out mate ... this coupled with your previous post calling her 'naive'?!? I happen to agree with this.

I am married and happen to share the opinion that my wife and I will be together from here on. Until you are married and have children, your opinion is not worth much in discussing the longevity of marriage!

Don't be so arrogant.

I find people who talk about the “missing out spiel” refer to not being able to go out drinking, clubbing, pulling/sleeping around left right and centre. That lifestyle has never really been my cup of tea so I guess that helped.

Not really, yes I've had some great nights out but the missing out was more to do with travel and persuing my interests without anything to hold me back. I've experienced a lot of things that would have probably not come about had I been married with kids. I feel I wouldn't be so rounded as a person had I lost this time to develop myself.

Not in my mind it's not. Maybe you just haven't experienced love like I have yet. If that sounded patronising then it was meant to, that's how it sounded when you called me naive. It's not nice when people talk to you like that especially when it's about something as important as marriage vows.

Maybe you're cynical but I believe in true love, does that make me naive? Not in my opinion but if you think that then fine, I'm not bothered. Time will tell won't it but I am sure that me and Cliff will stay married, we both think that.
