I apologize in advance to this NG for adding to this thread, knowing
it is not the accepted style (nor charter) to continue with serious
matters not directly related to boatbuilding here. It is not my hope
to annoy, but I've never tried to win popularity contests, either:

PS: Fortunately for some though, they learn along the way and round 2 is the
real blessing the first should have been had you been more 'experienced' the
first time. Life goes on. Build boats.

A sad statement, friend. This does not sound like learning.

Marriage is not about being experienced. Marriage, even decent
boatbuilding, is about committment. For thousands of years, people
married in their teens, often with no choice of with whom, and knew
little about life & almost nothing about each other until the wedding.
But they knew what committment was, and their strong marriages
spawned whole tribes, societies and nations.

The "experienced" want to remarry someone they love. The faithful do
the opposite: love the one you marry.

"Round 2"? With a still-living spouse, this is adultery - no matter
what piece of paper two may have or what some religious official says
it is. Only death ends a valid marriage. Marriage is not a
contractual relationship. It is a creation ordinance that predates
all faiths and applies to all people, no matter what they believe.
Deep down, everyone knows this.

Please think beyond the grave, the next good time, and the next case
of resin.
