bish Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Have you been married, bish? Yup. I have, and the vows said nothing about "forsaking all others". Then whats the point? Its nothing but a partnership at that point minus the true love, affection, and respect. Civil ceremonies (in this country at least; I haven't been married anywhere else) don't require that. You are correct. "civil" unions do not require that, but marriage and matrimony do. I would not promise "to forsake all others" because I know I would be lying. We know that too.

OWoman Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 You are correct. "civil" unions do not require that, but marriage and matrimony do. It was not a "civil union" - we don't have those in my country, only marriage (whether for gay or straight couples). It was a civil marriage ceremony. Recorded, for legal purposes, the same as any other marriage - the same forms are filled in and signed. The same status pertain afterward. Only difference is we were married by a magistrate in a courtroom and not in a church by a priest. Link to post Share on other sites
me003 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I find it amusing the poster asked for MOW to reply yet people like you feel the need too. you said you haven't walked down that road so why do you need to reply to a thread that was specific to certian people in her situation? I am not sure... i wondered the same thing, I guess that people read other things other than what is posted in black and white. Link to post Share on other sites
me003 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi Bbish, I see your back... But it seems to me we have a nicer bish..... is that possible. still likes to debate, but with a different style I see. Someone has healed:) Is this true. I wonder if views really change after you let go of the pain. I know I did with regards to my X-H. It took 6 years. long time I know, but I was really hurt by him. Which I could have done it faster. good luck too those who want to heal and let go of the pain, the shame, the throwing of stones, the actions that only hurt others, the hurt you cause yourself and your children.

I wonder if views really change after you let go of the pain. Even when being harsh, there was no pain. And no the views have not changed. I still despise selfish people. I'm just trying to avoid the alert button nazis who don't care if they hurt someone in real life, but can't take the cold hard truth in a forum. Its damn funny. Link to post Share on other sites
