Those of you that have been married or plan on getting married... when you take those vows " for better or for worse" ... how much of the "worse" will you put up with before you call it quits?



Cheating, abuse of any kind and it's over and done with darlin.


:thumbsup: I totally agree.:thumbsup:

The only close to worse I experienced was financial when I was married. My wife could not work,and couldn`t get any type of disability. One job I had I worked 7 months out of the year and was laid off the other 5 months. But we got by. This was with having 2 teenage sons also. You learn to really tighten up financially when you have too.

It could have gotten worse than it was before I was ready to quit it.

Sadly there are not many like you my friend. However, it is true that I do base my observation on personal experience.

And for that, dear lady, i applaud your fortitude. So many are so self oriented, you should have good things coming your way. flowerforyou

*edit* how rude of me, i failed to answer the op. I would draw the line other than that of sickness. Cheating, lying, etc..i would not tolerate.

Struggling through the 'worse' times is one thing. Staying in a relationship that is dead, or abusive, is another. Many couples do split too easily, but then many couples also stay together when they shouldnt.

I agree. If a man is beating you in the face, I'm thinking you are long passed the "If I was just cuter I could change him, or nicer to him or didn't tick him off" mode. And some women can beat a man down emotionally until there is very little left. Sad.

I'm not a quitter so they can do their worst



*Except from some very obvious and extreme reason to call it quits.

When I took the vows I meant them with all my heart and believed we could work through anything (cheating, lying, alchol abuse). He walked away. Sometimes things are just out of your control.

I will never marry again. Vows don't mean what they used too.

I went to high school with a girl that is in I believe, her 6th marriage. I wonder how these guys keep marrying her without laughing when she stands up and says "til death do us part". Hell, she said that to FIVE other guys.

Those of you that have been married or plan on getting married... when you take those vows " for better or for worse" ... how much of the "worse" will you put up with before you call it quits?


Well, if the marriage is based on deep love, not financial or other interests (as usual) then she can chase me with a big knife or cheat on me, I will still love her forever.

i put up with quite a bit to keep my marriage intact.

i put him out the very day i decided that keeping him around was worse for the kids than letting him go.

had i believed that having him around would be what's best for the children, he'd still be here today.
