    Sometimes it is not just luck of the draw, it is sheer skill eh Hypno? ;) (Or working so many hours apart, that your 19 years equates to 5 usual years?)

    I love my M-i-L - and I'm not saying that cos Popeye reads this :o I clash with my F-i-L and to make it easier for Popeye, I keep quiet (and that's a MAJOR sacrifice :rotfl: ) But we rarely see DS1 now he's in lurve :( so this M-i-L is fairly redundant (I haven't seen her since October, though he's popped in occasionally.)

    I managed 8 years the first time (together for 14 years) no MIL as she had died. Second time I managed 8 years again (together for 9 years) again MIL as she died just as I met ex :o.

    Don't think I'm cut out for this marriage lark :confused:
