This makes me want to cry! Bo and Rachel got married last summer, on the beach along Lake Huron. Jay married them, which was a real privilege. It was a lovely setting and not the least bit expensive. Now, Bo refuses to be married to Rachel any longer. He has put his foot down, saying that she hasn't changed. Then, why did he marry her in the first place? They had lived together for two years! Rachel wants to stay married and to see a marriage counsellor. Bo refuses to accept help from anyone. Jay went over to visit Rachel today. She has a heavy heart, blamed for being the major problem. Rachel is very sweet and humble. She is willing to go to a counsellor for as long as it takes. Bo says, Rachel needs to see a counsellor but he's fine and he doesn't need to change a thing. Both of them have excellent jobs, Bo runs a successful furniture outlet and Rachel works in an office, in the Iosco County Court House. Both of them love their job! Bo needs to get off his high horse and allow Rachel to be imperfect, like all the rest of us! They love each other, why isn't this marriage considered valuable? Photo: Mine

You can love someone, but marriage isn't right. George and I didn't get married until we wanted to buy our house and had to. Now we look back and that's the biggest decision that we made. Perhaps, they just are better off as friends. Sometimes things just don't work out romantically. They need to do what's right for everyone and maybe not for them. I wish them the best of luck.

@kaylachan Both people must admit to their own faults and be willing to make changes.

The purchased a modest home and keep the yard looking nice! Indoors, they have matching furniture in every room, to make their house comfortable. She has issues to deal with. Bo refuses to admit, that he has issues, too.

Mister has an issue is what I am hearing. He will have an issue his entire life with anybody and everybody unless he figures out that is not Mister Perfect and maybe changing a bit would be an okay thing. Plus the wifey is not a '50s piece of furniture.

You are right! Bo carries a bottle of pills in his pocket, to keep his mind working properly! A marriage is 50/50, it takes two people to build that relationship, not only one! He has just as many issues, but doesn't admit it!

@kobesbuddy Rachel should go to the counselor by herself. I hope this doesn't mess with her self-esteem.

@sallypup Rachel has low self-esteem, she needs a husband who admires her good qualities!

Well, as usual, I think that the woman has the most sense in this situation. People are always thinking they will change their mates. Doesn't happen often. But divorce court sure does.

@kobesbuddy ......He sounds a lot like my ex. And that type is very hard to live with.

I think Bo is being narrow minded. He only sees one viewpoint, his own.

I am sorry to hear this. Sounds like there is an imbalance of issues. It is a shame that Bo does not want to try counseling. I feel sorry for both of them but if one person is so stubborn then it is painful for the other person who loves them to continue in such a relationship. Only one other thing I can think of is for both of them to live apart for a while, remain friends, and see if that might change things before they consider divorcing,

I wonder if Bo would agree to this, anything that's suggested he won't agree.

I am so sorry to hear this. It sounds like Bo is unbending which is a pity. I would be devastated if my husband ever said these things to me after 50+ years!

A man who always needs to get his way, that's an impossible situation for any woman to endure!

Divorce is a bad choice, my thoughts.

They had lived together for two years before marriage so they knew what it would be like. What changed?

I asked them this question and Bo had no answer. They were happy at that time, so what changed? I don't understand a thing, about this situation!
