I did this. and now I'm we're separated ~26 months later. and she took my kid and is not letting me see her on thanksgiving. because she moved us all to an area where her friends are but I know no one, i'll be totally alone too. she was 31 when we met and I was 29. so there's one data point supporting your implied point

are you the one with the doctor wife or is that someone else

sounds crazy. so you pretty much didn't know each other and already had a kid? wtf. i hope you end up OK.

in situations like this, i just assume the woman is desperate to get married because of the big 3-0.

I got the timeline a little wrong:

-met 2/14

-engaged after 8 months (10/14)

-married after 19 months (9/15)

-kid after 33 months (11/16)

-separated after 45 months (11/17)

not the one with the doctor wife

These marriages rarely work out. I know a chick in one of these and she's absolutely miserable only 3 years into the marriage.

you have to live together for YEARS before knowing whether it will work out or not. otherwise, you have no idea what you are doing and have no idea who the other person is.

some women just really want to be married and don't care who she marries.

lol "will work out or not"

I'm not endorsing the idea that people should get engaged too early, but the idea that divorce is even an option is why marriages fail. It isn't some passive thing, you have to choose to make it work.

if marriage is too much work, then might as well quit

work is work, don't want my personal life to be work too

i think if a person has to change a lot to be in a marriage, then it wasn't meant to be. you have to find someone where you can be yourself 100% of the time.

"you have to find someone where you can be yourself 100% of the time."

This is some fairy tale bullshit. The real you, absent effort to be civilized and socially acceptable, is a glorified ape. Just like the rest of us.

I think this is true for a lot of people.

But this is also part of why you people are Trash, and justly called out as such.

Divorce = you are trash. Arguments to the contrary are just designed to avoid blame. We run the brutal honesty shtick here on xo, and this is just one more hard cold fact.

The chick I know was in a hurry to get married because she was almost 30 and her younger sister was already married. As a result, she basically married the first guy that was interested in getting married.

It's reasonable to have a shorter courtship with older age. If youre >35, 10 months is acceptable
