Sad but so Often True

Sad but so often True.
In a chapel in the city, one lovely summers day.
A couple stood before the priest and the young man was heard to say.
“I love you and with this ring, I thee wed.”
Then they walked out into their future that lovely summers day.
But ten years later in a dark apartment room.
The cherished ring lay on the floor, the love was gone and there was no more.
As the lovely bride not so lovely anymore, with her bag in hand and tears in her eyes.
She walked out of the apartment door.

  1. awe Bill that is so sad and u r right its till happening there another side of course marriages do break down and sadly some of us soldier on whether its religious beliefs or fear of losing children or grand kids if we go our separate ways then the ones who go their separate ways usualy end up with the same type of person to be messed around with again and sadly av spoke to folk on chats not particularly this one where its happening were even while being with their new partner they r out there with their next one in line sad aint it but its good bill ta

  2. nice bill but some folk ,dont try at making a mariage work and go out looking for other thinking grass green on other side not giving a thought to how hurt it is to their partener, i have known some men who think it ok for wife to be at home while they are with someone else but i like your true story ,i always say if not working best to come out of marraige and go separate ways

  3. I used to agree with what u say roxy although i have changed my mind but u cant say that about every man some women r the same and the thing is unless u experience it u cant catorgise everyone as being the same folk have no idea what goes on the minute u shut that front door i never actually cirtiisise anyone for that reason

  4. yes of course your right pad same thing goes for the woman iam talking about men and women who do such things ,there are a lot of decent men and women in this world was only speaking of ones who do wrong to their partners ,i think it is ok and come up with every excuse for doing wrong

  5. oh bill this is sooooooooooo very sad…when i got married i wanted it to be forever…sadly was not to be, no one else was involved…but then i found the love of my life and i hope this will be for the rest of time 🙂

  6. Is it just a coincidence that couples renew their vows more and more these days?. Maybe people are seeing, what may seem like in the cold light, as marriage being a renewable contract. They have reached a milestone with an anniversary , which in this day and age is becoming unique, and they retake/renew their vows. Maybe marriage should be a renewable contract especially if there is money and property involved. Nobody in the throws of love are going to be convinced of that. It WILL last forever and they ARE “the one”.However, when we older and wiser or been there done that, we tend to be more cautious, well hopefully we do.Maybe see things more cold and realistically. Yes we may want to marry, but are aware that people and circumstances change with time and there may be no happy ever after. Just an observation.

  7. This is sad bill and happens for all kinds of reasons. I walked away from my first marriage and two years later along came the love of my life. We renew our marriage vows every ten years and have been together 39 years. My husband said the nicest thing last week “I love you even more now”. And that is what I wish for all to hear in their senior years. xxxx

    1. Well Skippy.
      I am on my 3rd Marriage of 34 soon 35 Years. I think I must have been practicing prior to meeting my lovely Jean. I love her so much,
      A wee Poem

      I won’t kmow until its all over,
      If I have wasted a precious life,
      But I was gifted a beautiful Daughter,
      And blessed with an angel for a Wife.

      From My book a three part Life.
      Take care.
      Bill.
