Can you help answer a technical question regarding wedding vows?

My advice? Stay out of other people's marriages. No good comes from meddling.

Besides . . . suppose they reconcile? If you are now encouraging divorce, they won't want to have anything to do with you after they reconcile.

Stay out of it. Leave their marriage to them. Let him make his own decisions regarding the marriage.

He needs advice? Tell him to turn to his clergy person or a marriage counselor.

First off... maybe consider what could be causing the problem? Stress, pregnancy etc..

If they didn't live together before the marriage that may be the problem??

But if it comes down to it, and these are just her true colors, maybe you have to make it clear to him that the woman he fell in love with is not the woman he is now with. Maybe she is unhappy, would he want to have kids with a woman who is like this? Maybe she knew he is this genuinely nice guy, and she intentionally acted a certain way to get him, and now is showing how she really is.

I hope that this doesn't end in divorce, but does he really plan to spend the next few decades with her? Will he be able to? If he can't he may as well get out now. Its better sooner than later, less people will be hurt.

Hope these points would help to bring up to him.

Well, that's the decision he's made and he'll have to live with it. If he thinks he should stay in it, then that's him. You can't do anything about it. I know you're a concerned friend and that's nice of you to be so caring. Maybe you could suggest counseling for them. Maybe advice coming from a 3rd party or professional would help him. You might actually make him distance himself from you if you get too pushy with the subject. Just be there for him as a friend.

LOL. "for better or worse" is correct English. "worst" is implied in the "for better or worse" statement.

if she committed fraud--that is she presented herself as one way and became another way after the wedding then he can get an annulment. But this is his decision. Sometimes you have to let people suffer for their own stupidity and rigidity.

as to her being a "raging lunatic" and him not being aware of the fact before hand. I find that unlikely. He was either not paying attention or did not know her long enough.

i think of you shouldn't be too shocked in case you come across slightly opposition there. not too many women human beings could rejoice with their husbands wanting to do something romantic like re-new their vows basically so they might sleep with human beings. Kinda places a damper on the gesture. in spite of this, each and each to their own! She could be thinking a similar ingredient yet does not comprehend a thank you to strategies-set the subject rely with you! you comprehend your spouse extra effective than anybody so basically you will possibly be the choose of that. basically pay attention that if she does not choose for the assumption then you definately will need significant sucking as much as do to come again in her solid books.

If it's truly a mental illness, serious psychological problems, an annulment could probably even be granted.

In that case, the vows were not taken being 'of sound mind'.

I think you are being too technical. Just because the words may not have been said, doesnt mean that he hasnt tried to live by them in his heart. He means them.

Its his choice, while we may not agree with it. No one can make this choice for him.
