So, if basically everyone is unhappy - why do the gay people want the right to marry? Maybe we should just outlaw marriage, and then everyone will be happy.

(Also, the 10% left aren't actually happy either - they are just in denial about how miserable they are.)

'No, you said that 50% of marriages end in divorce. Of those that have not ended in divorce, 90% are unhappy. 10% of the remaining 500 still married is 50'
I am sure I can find a number to operate with where MY math will be correct. You just took number you liked and operated with it. Like 1000.' Take 2000. 1000 divorced. 10% percent = 100! So...100 out of 2000 is still closer to reality.
Seriously! Don't we have a family therapist here? Speak upo please!

Dude, I did the math on YOUR statistics, as I quoted you. They're not my statistics. So if you don't like them, then don't make them up and use them!

I said 50%...I did not say number of which 50% are taken! You had provided the number 1000! Or whatever and what difference does it make really??? if you still thinking that 50% divorces = 50% of happy marriages on another half??? Beerie! My mother is a gambler. She basically lives in casino. She has it all! Blankets, t-shirts, kitchen appliances...given to her by casino. BTW I hate that chase you have! I want Lazy Boy recliner!!!

I think Loony and Doxie should team up and teach a finance and statistics class at the Learning Annex.

50% of 1000 marriages end in divorce - so 500 divorces.
500 marriages left. According to Loony: 90% of those are unhappy, so .9 x 500 = 450 are unhappy. Leaving 50 marriages that are unhappy, but delusional.
Rocky correctly calculated Loony's made up statistics. If she would like me to rehash using a different number - like 2000 or one million, we can still do that.
But, basically she just said that 100% of marriages are unhappy - just some of us don't know it yet.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

My DH will do a sort of kiddie/baby "I wuv you" once in a while. It used to be the only way he'd say it but the longer we've been together, the less frequently it comes out. We hold hands walking - mostly because he's got a longer stride than me and I want to slow him down. We've got our issues but on the whole, we're happy. AS long as we avoid politics right now.

I wonder if she goes home to her husband and tells him that we are all stupid because she said that 100% of marriages are miserable, and we just couldn't understand the math. And her husband is all "What?!"

But that is how he stays in denial - you know the 10% of the 90% of the 50%.
