If relationships had worked out I would have been

[isitsnowingyett]

• a gamekeeper's wife 😳
• a wife of an American military bod probably divorced
• living in a cottage in a small village in the Scottish Highlands
• living in Tennessee in a very Christian environment

How about you?

Rich!

..., but most "could have been" responses assuming that their ex- partner's life would have been exactly the sane with them, as without them.

I could say "living in Scotland", but my ex may not have decided to move to Scotland in the version of his life with me; or "mother of twins" - I have an ex who I has twins, but it's unlikely that he'd have had them with me

• living in America (probably miserable though)
• really rich

1. He told me yoga is evil. He also sang musical theatre songs in that legs-akimbo-belting-while-gazing-ahead style. I cringed enough then; can't imagine it now.
2. A farmer's wife overseas, forbidden to speak English to any children that might come along and with a controlling MIL (with her own key, of course) that once called me from her house across the way to shout at me for having my shutters open during a lovely lightning storm.

I really do love my life, now I have thought about what might have been!

I'm 69. I had forgotten the possibly dead one as did so many daft things in my young days! Yes they were all serious relationships.

Sone great ones here - the Elvis impersonator 😂😂

An emotional punch bag for a selfish, spiteful narcissistic stoner. Living in a caravan on the side of the road spending my days ringing everyone in my contact list trying to borrow a tenner.

Wife of a Jordan Peterson fan and living in his mums spare room. If anyone asked us why we'd scream that we were 'helping' (by living rent free and scrounging off a pensioner).

Wife of a satellite engineer that had been dragged on Jeremy Kyle to take a lie detector test to prove I hadn't cheated on him, even though he shagged everything that moved.

Thank God I'm now single! 🤣🤣

• widowed in my early 40s (x2 times)
• living in a tiny house we couldn’t afford with someone who spent all their time down the pub and prone to aggression

I’ve only had a few serious relationships - not really much idea what happened to any flings!

Living abroad with a teacher
Very bored somewhere down south (due to the man not the location)
Like ships that pass in the night (chefs wife)
Very unhappy but probably rich
Very unhappy and abroad (player)
Wife of a struggling Musician

My real life DH is lovely - I think I chose well.

Sectioned from losing my mind, or in prison for murder. Glad im single these days and dont have to put up with narcissist behaviour 😂

Probably...

• Miserable
• Miserable
• Miserable...

You get the idea

So your point probably stands!

Just a guess.

Living in Tring.

If I'd stayed in my marriage

I'd be subjected to coercive sex every 48 hours
I'd come home from work to not even a hello, and wonder what I'd done to deserve the silent treatment again.
I'd have to look at a small man every day and my mental health would be destroyed.

Luckily I left and built my wonderful l, filled with love and fun.

1. Married to an old man (but rich 😆)
2. Living in rural Australia and possibly living hand-to-mouth
3. living a fairly ordinary life in the uk but married to a cheater
4. arguing all day every day 🫠

1. living in Cornwall with someone so nice he was slapable.

2. living in the US with a sociopath

3. A prison widow

4. married to a very successful architect

Married to an accountant

Currently not married to an accountant and very happy., possibly poorer than if I had, married an accountant.

Now those are interesting 😳
