[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with “choosing the right partner” is that you don’t know how someone is going to be down the line. [b]There is no way to predict.[/b] Although I am still pretty happily married-my husband is entirely different than he was 20 years ago when we met. Not all in positive ways either. Sometimes it takes a good amount of years to see who someone truly is. And this happens all the time. [/quote]

Really?  You honestly think there is absolutely no way to predict how someone is likely to be going down the line?

I think you might mean there are no guarantees.  But you can absolutely predict, with reasonable accuracy, how a person is likely to behave in the future.  You have also changed over the past 20 years, just FYI.[/quote]Different poster? Are you kidding? Marriages happen all the time where someone thinks they found the one, have the big party, etc. 
    They’re is a 50 percent divorce rate and most of them thought walking down the aisle, that they wouldn’t be another statistic. Times change, people cheat, whatever but nobody predicts it on their wedding day. [/quote]

The point the other poster was making is that actually they *didn’t* think.  They ignore red flags and get target fixation on wedding/kids.

People, barring brain tumors or traumatic head injuries, don’t fundamentally change who they are from 20 to 50.  Those of you claiming they do are lying to yourselves.[/quote]
