Forgetting You’re Married Is Easier Than You Think

Guys tend to forget a lot of things. Sometimes we forget to take out the trash, sometimes we forget to wipe (don’t pretend like you’ve never forgotten that one), and sometimes we even forget about that time we got married on a drunken bender 30 years ago. According to Ananova:

An Australian man was told his marriage was invalid – because he had married 30 years earlier during a drunken bender.

The 67-year-old remembered a “nice” blonde woman he met in Arizona during shore leave from his job as an oil rig cook but says he had no idea they married.

“He has no recollection of going through any form of ceremony of marriage with her, or of discussing marriage, or of anything referable to marriage,” said Justice Sally Brown, annulling the marriage.

“I looked at the signature and thought it could have been mine or it could not have been,” he said.

He said his latest wife, who has become his girlfriend again because their marriage was declared invalid, was very understanding.

“I’m an old-fashioned guy. I’m loving and I believe that for a marriage to work, it has to be a two-way street. She does the washing, I hang it out on the line.”

Now that he is officially single, he plans to make his current girlfriend his wife – again.

Well, I guess chivalry isn’t dead after all. See, he’s an old fashioned guy. That’s why he took the time to go ahead and divorce is first wife who he can’t remember before he married his new wife who does his laundry. And people still complain the society’s morals have gone into the crapper.
