I'm going to need some help and support, please?

The confusion I feel isn't the same though.

There is a necessity for select individuals in management to have multiple accounts that may involve name changes.  For the right people this is a simple matter of quality control.

Maybe these folks can tell you:

epic thread!

I remember the Sorry thread as being pretty epic, too, but I haven't looked at it for awhile.

He's an NM.  He's far from being a GM. 

I don't know if I've ever experienced "existential bliss", Henryongmy? I'll have to drink about that;)

Marital "bliss" exists for a period of time. It is trasformed into something that requires less energy. The results of the transformation depend entirely upon the two people involved.

Marriage is a funny proposition today in the U.S. It seems out of place while at the same time clearly conformist. I wonder if there is a History of Marriage book? I'll have to check.

Tons of books!

I thought marriage history was how many times previously someone has been married.

Some have suggested that marriage is an outdated institution that should be replaced by a contract with a duration that is shorter than "death do we part."

I don't know about that? I personally don't believe in marriage because I don't want the State involved with my relationships. Nor the church of course. But I don't know if people think it's outdated because of the duration? Though that would make sense considering that marriage was instituted probably when life expectancy was about thirty years old.

About half of all marriages end in divorce which is evidence that the institution may not be meeting the needs of contemporary couples. Reliable birth control has made pregnacy a choice rather than an inevitability. Both husband and wife are likely to work, so it's less likely that one party will be the "breadwinner" and the other the house wife/husband. The definition of marriage is expanding to include gays and lesbians.

Those are excellent points, electricpawn.

I think marriage was once not only a single vow to remain with and take care of one another, but also a publicly recognized contract of responsibility for one another which was not easily broken. Now though, it can be just an error in judgement which is much easier to remedy without it being unusual to remarry. So it doesn't have the public confidence that it had in the past. I believe because of this that marriage has changed into a "bet" of sorts. Perhaps that is why wealthy people marry--because they've taken their gambling habits into their private relationships, betting on their relationship with the money they have earned, since divorce usually splits up financial assets?

Marriage is nice so it is not too surprising that people want more than just one.  Divorce would be a bit of a waste of time save that it clears the legal way for a second, third, fourth, umpteenth slice of the pie.

Far from being outdated it is more popular than ever.

What, however, is much clearer is that trysts now needs a divorce from her outdated name and I need some help and support to get this seen to. I am thinking that Trusts might be good. Look forward to seeing that name appearing in the forums.

The wealthy take bets with limited risk. Where marriage is concerned, they have pre - nups. Maybe a contract could provide a timeline and goals. Children, major purchases such as real estate, business or career goals. It certainly has the potential to make the division of assets less contentious upon termination of the union and to reduce legal fees.

You could be right that it is more popular than ever. I know that everyone I know talks about marriage. Not just people in their thirties, like me, but younger people and slightly older people. Marriage is usually about children--having a stable home environment for raising children. Even men talk about that. But also marriage for people as old as I or older talk about having a companion to share their lives with. Marriage in this case strikes me as odd.

I don't think changing my username would be a good idea. I've been visiting this website for long enough to give the community a sense of trust about who I am, and I don't want to confuse that trust:) 

True true true. I forgot about their pre-nups.
