[@EllyzGoodwill]

Perfect marriages or relationships aren't real; they're all different. What works for one person might not work for someone else. But I've come to understand that there's always a solution to problems. Five years ago, my wife and I were close to divorcing because of issues in our marriage, but we found a way to fix them. It was tough, but we survived.

[@GodfreyKelz]

I truly want to find happiness as well. I have someone special in my life, and even though we're not together right now, I can't imagine living without her; my love for her is deep. I really hope she comes back, and I'm fully committed to making it happen. We've tried different ways, like therapy, to make things right.

[@EllyzGoodwill]

Parting ways with someone you deeply care about is never easy, but in my particular circumstance, I was aided by a spiritual mentor who averted the collapse of my marriage. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters.

[@GodfreyKelz]

Your guidance is valued. I'll immediately seek her out online. Appreciate it. I'm hopeful that implementing this method will also bring me success; I miss her dearly.

[@perfectlyimperfect9129]

I felt bad for the nurse…she just sat there kind of in shock with a weird smile on her face, yet looking like she secretly wanted to cry.

Military couples happen like the one in this episode alllll the time. On both sides, civilian and military member. Ive even heard of service members (including same sex, heterosexuals) marrying each other to collect BAH, which are the funds the military member was mentioning here to those unfamiliar.

[@OnlyRoseVelvet]

Navy sailors got in trouble for this on my first ship. Russian women were trying to marry them to get benefits while they had significant others. They got into trouble this time. The sailors were aware of the scheme, too. Like you said fairly common.

Back in the day people did marry for other reason: stability, money, land etc. And arranged marriages were "normal". And in some countries and cultures it still excists. And some of these marriages work out; they grow to love eachother like Yolanda and Kelvin. There s just one big difference: all the parties know. These people don t know the other one didnt really care for them and had their own agenda. Its not transparent.

Unpopular opinion: The First Lady is not wrong. That man told her he’d take care of her. He then changed his mind, so she decided to leave. Any woman who marries for “love”, is crazy, and will only end up broken. Marry for stability. Many women don’t love the man up front, they end up falling in love with him, as he begins to prove himself to her.
