When people have asked me that recently, I say stuff like "We're not so good at marriage in my family" since my history looks worse than yours, justabeachbrat:
Parents: divorced after 23 years married
Brother: just got married a week ago, his third
Me: divorced twice, 1 after 14 months, 1 after 7 years
I won't do it a third time. I see no reason to. My kids will be in college. Unless I end up doing it for health insurance purposes or something legal like that, I just don't see it happening.
twinkle555: I can understand parents asking after you've been in a 4 year relationship, depending on how it's asked. There's a way to nag about it and there's a way to just be interested in whether your child is thinking that way about a long term boyfriend. Although, if you're like my brother, you just don't mention that you're seeing anybody until a month before your wedding and then you say "By the way, Dad, I'm getting married next month". You call your sister 6 days prior to tell her.
