clearing the deck - the marriage status thread

My wife and I were both in our late 20's and freshly coming off of divorces (neither were finalized when we met.) We pretty much aired all our dirty laundry right out of the gate figuring screw it neither of us was in the mood to waste time. Once our divorces were finalized we dated for awhile then figured ah screw it why not. And here we are 20+ years later not with a storybook ending, but at least something we can be reasonably proud of. Doubt anyone is jealous of us but also we've made it this long so we must be doing some things right.
