Today is my 6th wedding anniversary. It's my first marriage, I have kids and I still love my wife. I spent 3 years test driving the car before I signed, so this is 9 years together. The mean average is 7 years. One year from today, I will have surpassed the crowd and made it to the elite group of "still married" dudes......a shrinking crowd for sure.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

7 this past feb. IMO If you knew yourself, you knew after your first year if you were going to "make it" or not.
Good on ya for a good choice. Its the proper way to raise a family.
Quit giving in inch by inch then looking back to lament the mile behind ya and wonder how to preserve those few feet left in front of ya. They'll never stop until they're stopped. That's a fact.

Congrats. Wish you a life time more.
I sat in the car seat for 5 years before I made the purchase. Or myabe it was MommaMac who made the purchase? In any event it's been near on 18 for us including the test drive.

First marriage - 10 years - Second 17 years - third 7 years. Wish that I had found one good women who loved me until they lit up the crematory and all my friends burned the rum!

Don't jinx yourself. Lot's of guys thought that they were in your position right before the soon to be ex-wife began the "I'm just not happy" conversation.

Preying upon the vulnerablity of newly divorced men is creepy. And I always thought you were straight. JK....
