Or, as I...You made a fair case for not making vows. Or, as I call it "promises you may be sorely put to the test to keep". However, and to be benign, let's not forget that human hope and optimism triumph over a future we do not know. So, with careless abandon, good intentions and little thought we do make those promises with an almost childlike innocence and belief.<br /><br />I was once married to a man who, to this day, judges others harshly over not keeping even the most harmless of "promises". I don't have the heart to point out to him "people in glasshouses" and all that. We split amicably as, to me, it was clear that our time as a couple was up; I didn't hold him to any promises and he thanked me, profusely, for how graciously, without any fuss, I "released" him from all the promises he merrily swore to at the altar. We managed to stay friends for a long time, something I was determined about for the sake of the father son relationship. And that has paid off. <br /><br />As an aside, and please do correct me if I am wrong (and I don't mention by way of questioning how devoted you and Jenny are to each other) but didn't you say that a large part of the reason you two got hitched was for practical (financial) reasons? Nothing wrong with that but also does render any more emphemeral "promises" obsolete.<br /><br />Other than that, Nick, thanks for engaging with me again. I do appreciate it. And (joke alert) you and I never even entered a "contract" or made any promises to each other.<br /><br />Through sick and sin,<br />UUrsulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722046288685936851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-68458301874363157282019-07-30T16:15:36.404+01:002019-07-30T16:15:36.404+01:00a timely blog( for me)
