this is one instance where funky has a good point
the whole "thats why u aint never been married!" thing is super archaic
IMO if ur gonna bring up a marriage you were involved in to really DRIVE home a point you're trying to make and relationship advice you're trying to give...the sentence should begin with something like "my marriage has been successful for X years because we...."
if u cant start with a sentence like that, u probably shouldn't start. especially if your marriage lasted 1-2 years or less.
if anything bringing up your short-lived marriage only proves why you may not be in the position to dish out love and relationship advice. or perhaps you should just share the mistakes you feel were made that caused your marriage or relationship to end super quickly. people would listen to that as a cautionary tale.
anyone can find a partner or even get married. it's not some rare, huge accomplishment .
his thinking is pretty dated
