The Exception

Have any of you actually been or encountered someone who is that 1% exception?

For example:
1. The girl who actually DID walk off into the sunset with the guy she slept with on the 1st date (even though 75% of the other women who do that get burned/taken advantage of/ruin their chances)

2. The mistress who actually DID walk off into the sunset with the married man, b/c she convinced him to leave his wife (vs. most women being advised not to expect a man to ever leave his wife for his mistress)

3. The cheater who actually never DID cheat again after the 1st time (vs. most of us being warned over & over that once a cheater, always a cheater)

4. The guy whom you really WERE able to change (even though most people warn us NOT to try to change anyone & that what you see is what you get)

5. The committment phobe that you really WERE able to get to commit after being patient with him & showing him that you're worth it (vs. the other 75% of the women who are wasting their time on a man who clearly is not ready to & refuses to commit)

6. The couple that actually grew STRONGER when they moved in together too early on

7. The couple that actually grew STRONGER simply b/c they rushed (vs. 75% of us enabling our relationship(s) to fail every time we "rush" into a relationship/marriage)

8. The young teens whose marriage actually DID last (even though 75% of teen marriages end up in divorce)

9. The guy who NEVER again hit/abused his woman after the 1st time (even though 75% of us are likely to be abused again after the 1st time)

10. The entirely long distance relationship that actually DID work out (even though 75% of them don't)

Have any of you ever been or encountered the exception?

Seen number 1 happen recently although very doubtful it will last, trouble already and it didn't get much past honeymoon faze... how sad

No 2. Same thing, got the guy and now that he is there looking over her shoulder...she is having her doubts and keeping him at arms length!

No 5. The guy goes from commitment phobic to moving the girl across countries and moving in with him!! I hope this works out as they are a lovely couple but she is struggling with the new life style and not being able to get job. Time will tell here but he really has taken on the commitment and supported her for the last 5 months!

No 8. I see that happen all the time but they are normally of a religious background, which I believe helps. Success rate 70/30

I'm in the 75% category and prefer to stay that way!!

"7. The couple that actually grew STRONGER simply b/c they rushed (vs. 75% of us enabling our relationship(s) to fail every time we "rush" into a relationship/marriage)"

Yes, as I fit this statement. Rushed into a relationship with an Aqua. We clashed alot (we were both going through a lot of personal matters and emotions were high). Turned out to be a mess. After the....um...."clouds"....passed by, things turned out to be pretty good. We talked alot of things over, wiped the slate clean and had a beautiful for almost a year.

# 1 happened but when asked me to be his girlfriend I said no.

I have been in a 2 year relationship with a guy I slept with randomly in a club ( had never done that before and never will again!) the gu chased me for a relationship, and I went out with him to ease the guilt of acting like such a ho. Didnt work out because I had no real feelings towars the guy but sleeping with him the first time e met didnt change his feelings about me.

Also my auntie and uncle got together at 16 married at 18 and are still happily married both now being over 50. I think if two people are right for eachother then they are right no matter what the circumstances.

oh boy, please don't let the people here who keep hanging out with losers & asking for advice, see this thread... it will only encourage them, really!

How about the homosexual who just tryed a woman one time and switched?

I know a straight (how she defines herself) woman who fell in love with a woman! She had never been attracted to women before and still states she is not attracted to women, just the one woman she is with! she actually left her husband for her too.

I've met a few people who have said something similiar, but idk. I still think that's a little fishy. Of course there's a 1st time for everything & that 1st time may be later on life (not everybody realizes they are gay when they're young) but I believe that once that chapter finally DOES open, there's no turning back & it only leaves room for more attraction with the same sex. Maybe not immediately, but def. possible

My aunt and uncle are a #8. Are still together after so long...it was a long, bumpy ride tho. They are religious, so yes religion does help

What about money
in some cases there is so much money lost if they split up they just stay together and live separet lifes
they also sometimes put up a front so no one knows are few people know.
