Marriage number 1: The difficulties that I saw in my first marriage were like most other people that marry to young. We were a young couple that had just started our careers and felt like we have finally made it to adulthood. We were introduced by a couple of our friends that in all honesty were also a very young couple. I believe they introduced us so they would have a couple to hang out with since they were not seeing thier single friends as much after their wedding. I met this woman that was in my opinion way to beautiful for me and when she flirted with me on that first date I thought she was just being nice since we had mutual friends. However, our love grew fast and within months I had found the woman of my dreams. I knew this was the type of love that they made movies about and the story could be a best selling novel. One year after we met we were celebrating our third month of marriage and we had a baby on the way. This was a dream come true. Both our careers were full tilt forward and with a combined income higher than I could have ever imagine we had everything we ever wanted. For her birthday I bought her a new car, we moved into a Condo that overlooked the water in the city, we would even go out of town once a month or take a cruise when we wanted. Life was grand, we spent every waking (non-working) moment together. Once a week she would go out with a couple of her friends and a couple of my friends would come over and play poker. The Wives would always come back happy and us guys would always leave happy but with less money. After the baby was born this all continued but we stopped going on the cruises. There were times we would argue because having the guys over with their kids to play poker while the wives went to the Dance clubs started to be more about taking care of the kids than playing poker. A few months later my first wife went on a weekend trip with her friends. The weekend was extended when she met some guy that wanted to take her somewhere else in life. That was the last weekend me and my daughter saw her. All to find out that although she enjoyed her married, parent life she did not feel she wanted that yet. I happily signed the Divorce papers and found a small place for me and my daughter.

Marriage Number 2: Although I believe there was love in my first marriage when I look back at it I realized there were some things that were missing. I realized that there could have been more love before we jumped into the marriage and we definatley
