Hello Y'all! Sorry to sneak back in this way after so long.....

Here's a thought...Why not have prospective couples go through divorce and
custody for a period of years prior to tying the knot so that they have a
true
perspective of what their partner is really like!

Hi David,

Hmm, not necessarily a guarantee. My partner and I met on November 30 1984,
had on/off relationship until 1988 when we got serious, thought we would
take our time and moved into the same house in 1990 or so, waited till 1993
to get married just to be sure, waited till 1998/9 to have a kid again just
to be sure. We were both there for the birth (though there was more work
from one part than the other!!!), we both did nappies, night time feeds,
sleeping withs, daytime feeds, cuddles etc. Split up in 2002 and here I am
on alt.support.single-parents.

I refer you to 'Scenes from an Italian Restaurant' by Billy Joel.

Best regards and Seasons Greetings,


Andrew (newbie)

PS glad I remembered to mention the song, I may well post it for general
consumption! (just cos I'm feeling sorry for myself this festive season)
