Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annie" data-source="post: 3021677" data-attributes="member: 42224">One of my boys was dating a REAL high maintenance chick. I mean she had him jumping through hoops like a well trained whale. He told me one night that he thought he was in love with her and was thinking about asking her to marry him. I REALLY thought he was smarter than that, but he was REALLY smitten with her.I told him if he was happy with her, then he had my blessings as he was a man and as such was able to make his own decisions about his life (he was all of 19) but that he needed to remember that in relationships what you have is not what you get. He asked me what I meant and I said "Relationships NEVER get better when you get married. On the contrary, they almost always get worse."He broke it off with her a week later. She tried for a year to get him back. I was never so proud of him as I was when she showed up here looking for him bawling and squawking about how she couldn't live without him. He told her she should have thought about that before she treated him like he was disposable.Last time I heard, she was on marriage #4 (they are all in their mid-30s now). He's been married to the same gal for 10 years now. They are still happy as the day they got engaged.</blockquote>
