As an example of time not being important in life's decisions, I had been going out with a lovely fella for ten months when I met my husband on a night out. I knew immediately that he was 'the one' and fortunately he felt the same way about me. We got engaged after 3 months and were married within the year. Last year we celebrated 40 years together and still feel the same way as we did then so there you go. I'd also say take life by the short and curlies if you find love!I don't know what it is these days but, divorced for 5 minutes, and they are already in another relationship, never mind becoming engaged! My fiance and I split up in 2007, after 13 years together engaged - maybe explains it, as I wouldn't get married - but no way could I have entertained a relationship with another man so soon. Still, if she feels she is ready, and I know the marriage had been faltering for some time (understandable, as he was determined to pursue his dream of music stardom!), then all power to her, and as long as her kids are content and happy with the situation, happiness to them all.
I agree with you both - yes life is short and events can make you look at things in a new perspective, grabbing opportunities with both hands. But at the same time, some people do seem to jump in to relationships at the drop of a hat - I can't fathom the likes of Jordan/Katie Price who feels compelled to have a kid with a different bloke every two years.

P.S I've just read this back and thought it may sound a bit cheesy but decided to post it anyway.
Congratulations to Pipa, what a hearwarming story.
Lousise66, what has time got to do with anything? Life is short and when love comes along, be thankful and grab it with both hands.
I know what you mean with the likes of Katie Price, makes you wonder if she really and truly loves the men she marries or is just infatuated with them. Pippa's blog mentions that she had found true love with a man she had previously known - maybe he is her true soulmate. I would like to think so.:heart:
