I didn't. Even when my wife announced that she wanted a separation I already had a very good grasp of the problems that were affecting our marriage but I wanted to fix these problems and stay together.

I still loved her EVEN THOUGH she did my nut in an awful lot of the time. I really took my wedding vows very seriously and thought that we could eventually find our way through the mire. She didn't it seems?

Over time, I fell out of love with her because we no longer shared our respective lives and eventually I met someone else.

No I didn't either Dun. Sometimes it's just not possible to get through the mire, no matter how much you know what the issues are.
I'm glad you're happy now.

As the de facto laws stand. Once there are two people cohabiting under the same roof, sleeping in the same bed and have moved their belongings into said house then it is considered a de facto, irrespective of time.

Check out the legislation.

But you said you don't care what the law says, the only thing that matters is what you say marriage is.

No, that's not what I said.

Quite like gay porn. Blokes, not girls. Phew, that's hot stuff.

Definitely bestiality. With the Romans on that one. Animals, the lot of 'em.
Phwoarrrrrr.

Also, in child custody cases it is the father who 99% of the time loses custody of his kids. Now if you want to tell me that my statement is stupid that is your prerogative but you will find the facts prove otherwise.

The marriage laws and family laws are heavily weighted to the benefit of females. Not only that, they don't even reflect modern day society/marriage. Stating this does not make me a mysogynist.

That makes Lederhosen seem tame.

Ok, let me clarify. In my opinion, regardless of your facts, the statement does not in any way reflect my own personal opinion of divorce in Australia, where 50/50 shared care is the expected norm.

There's always a place for lederhosen LF. I'm sure I saw gay porn and all the guys were in lederhosen. Quite erotic stuff.
