Re:The Stages of Divorce.. jason_stl: What happens if stage 8 came before stage 7? And now I am stuck on stage 7 with no where to progress ....
Re:The Stages of Divorce.. in_search_of: I don't think you are stuck, because if you are in stage 7, then there is always stage 8 because much like it would be bad to have never progressed actual adolescence, it would be a problem to stay in second adolesence.
Re:The Stages of Divorce.. Spectrum: Uh, I think you can safely say that pretty much every under-30 male will be living in stage 7 until they are booted out of it by either overwhelming life circumstance, a woman, or their 30th birthday!
Hehe... It reminds me of a list of qualifications (for prospective husbands) that one of my friends sent me shortly after I left the STBX. When I was chatting with her about marital woes while we rode our horses up a small mountain in Oregon, she informed me that "Men aren't really adults until they turn 30. If you can hold on until that point, you're fine. But until then, they're pretty much accidents waiting to happen." I got kind of a laugh out of it- I think she may have had a point!
So, to answer your question, Jason... You'll be in stage 7 for another two years. ;)
Quoted directly from hmy friend's email:
Here is my list of qualifications in a man....for future reference:
1. No momma's boys
2. No ex's that are still in the picture or children if it can be avoided at all.
3. Must have had at least 2 but not more than 4 significant relationships......not more than 1 marriage.
4. Over 30
5. Last 4 years tax returns ;) Looking for stability.
6. A cool family that is close but not too close.
I was thinking, "D@mn it, woman, why didn't you send this to me five years ago?!?!"
LOL
Erica.
