Stan Sakai's wife has passed away... - Page 4

Guess that all depends on who initiated the divorce in the first place.
I know quite a few divorced people whose lives would have been easier had they been widowed/widowered.

I don't trust that new young wife of Stan Sakai's, he better be careful.

She looks like she's only in her 40's and Stan is now in his 60's. I'd hate to see such a sweet and innocent man like Stan get taken advantage of by a young cougar.

Well those are probably people whose spouses were either big cheaters or big abusers.

Btw, are American divorce rates as high as they say? If so, what makes them so high in the country?

EDIT: CyberCubed, I think you're being a little sexist there.

A LITTLE?! Try a LOT. He apparently has no idea what married life is like, or much experience with relationships either, for that matter. Not all women who marry a more mature man are gold-diggers, and for that matter, he used the term cougar wrong- it's an OLDER woman chasing after younger men. Though if she's over 50, I believe she is termed a snow leopard.

Cubed, I don't want to sound overly preachy, but have you ever considered that your somewhat objectified views of women MIGHT be why you are not in a relationship yourself? Just an observation. I've been married for over 16 years myself- to the SAME man- and honestly can't see myself with anyone else should anything happen to him. (And believe me, that possibility definitely exists with his health issues.) However, I also can't see myself entirely alone should he leave the picture, either, so I'm sort of stuck in an uncomfortable spot there. It's much harder to lose someone than most people seem to think, especially when you KNOW it's coming at some point, but there is little you can do about it beyond try to delay the inevitable.

Divorce on the other hand, is only such a big issue because so many people marry for the wrong reasons or when they are not REALLY ready for it. And yes, the rates ARE as high as they say, for precisely those reasons. Add children and property into the mix, and it becomes a legal headache for everyone involved.

If you don't want to sound overly preachy then you should probably not hit submit on most of your posts.

This is the worst thread. This is this guys personal life. Seriously, not cool.

Hey, if I see something that's obviously off of offensive, I'm going to say something about it, because I'm a pretty blunt and honest person and have no qualms about confronting difficult issues. Not everyone likes that, but I'm not going to change to please others. Deal with it.

*sdp* · 07-16-2016, 10:33 PM

Where do I say I have a problem? I don't really care.
I'm merely stating a fact which is that you ]do want to sound overly preachy.

Agreed. This is like tabloid level of trashy forum posting. We're better than this.

*Powder* · 07-16-2016, 11:09 PM

Some of us are. But not many, don't kid yourself.

*ToTheNines* · 07-16-2016, 11:10 PM

Regardless, Stan deserves a little more respect.

*Powder* · 07-16-2016, 11:13 PM

Absolutely, I agree. But look at who's keeping this thread going- Cybercubed.

Anyone who takes his bait is just as much at fault as he is.

*CyberCubed* · 07-16-2016, 11:36 PM

So let the thread die then. The guy who bumped this thread did it with the intent to show Stan remarried though.
