Relationship Advice...from Someone Who's Been Divorced Six Times

Relationship advice comes at us from every direction. One woman who says she’s been married since she was 18 is now sharing hers with the world. The catch? She’s been married to a different person almost every year since she was 18! Nonetheless, here is her advice on “how to find a husband and never be single again.” You can take it or leave it...I think most of this "advice" ranges from not very good to horrible:

  • “Settle down—in that order.” Settle for someone and don’t worry about aiming high. “If you shoot for the moon, you’ll miss and land on one of those garbage satellites.”
  • “Be open to everyone.” – You might be surprised to learn that your prince charming has a dead-end job and doesn’t know how to do laundry. “High standards are for unmarried people.”
  • “Never trust a Gary.” – The author notes she will “not be elaborating on this.”
  • “Be understanding.” – In other words forget you have any worries and stressors of your own.
  • “Don’t go to bed angry.” – Instead stay up and fight all night long about the petty things. Who needs sleep anyway?
  • “Don’t talk. Listen.” – Pay attention to the deepest, darkest secrets they tell you. “This will give you the upper hand during future divorce proceedings.”
  • “Get to know his family.” – Do they have any siblings… that are single?
  • “Maintain your own life.” – Your own income, your own friends, your own side flings…
  • “Truth that things will work out how they’re supposed to.”
