[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister did.  And is now divorced.  They dated for 3 years with break-ups in-between.  Then they married in 2000 and he filed for divorce in 2013.  They have one child.  He is a very nice guy, but SO different from my sister.  When they met they were both working at the same agency, both working as social workers.  My sister went on to get her Master's, LICSW, and then started a PhD program.  He continued to work in his same job.  He had a very different upbringing than we did, neither parent went to college, is one of 5 boys from a small, Kentucky town.  Parents very religious, two of his brothers home-school their kids.  We grew up in DC, went to private school, both our parents have advanced degrees...I think he just always felt like she was too driven for him if that makes sense and she felt like he was not motivated.  But he was nice, a fantastic father, wonderful with my DS.  They just weren't right for each other.  Shockingly, he was the one who filed for divorce, saying she was selfish for "holding him back" from ever advancing in life.  Really long story I won;t go into, but now they are amicably divorced and are co-parenting their 6 year-old beautifully. I think sometimes people find each other and get married because they think after so many years, why not?  [/quote]
