[QUOTE="tropicaldaze1950, post: 196869, member: 13651"] My parents had been married for 32 years when my mother died in 1978. After she died, my father began talking about marriage and relationships. In one of those conversations he said that if only one person keeps giving and the other doesn't, it's not good. He never said that he was dissatisfied in the marriage but did infer that he and my mother saw the world differently. He was a go getter who wanted more from life and for his family. My mother just wanted him to work for 20 or 25 years and get a pension. He did it his way and he did provide a better life for us. Sinatra's 'My Way' would be the theme of my father's life. That I'm not like my father, wrecked by bipolar illness, leaves me sad and depressed. Before my relapse, I worked hard and could take care of myself. For 16 years, can't work, poor sleep, no erections. Been married going on 26 years. My wife has the money(large federal pension and investments) and I'm stuck, getting my small Social Security check. I apologize for the digression. Simply, marriage isn't for everyone and for some, being single and living life on your own terms can be healthier and more satisfying. [/QUOTE]
