The marriage thing was an iffy thing to include as one-size-doesn't-fit-all, but I think society has sort of a video game reset button on the situation. Just get a divorce and shop around for another mate that might be better. Sometimes the issues that cause a marriage to struggle or fall apart are inherent in the mates themselves, so unless they're worked out/addressed with self-reflection, history could easily repeat itself. There are plenty of good reasons to get a divorce, but there are also plenty of people who don't know what being married means, and they act in ways to sabotage or hurt it. As for me, I was engaged once (much younger) but we broke it off just before the wedding because I knew it wasn't going to work.

Since you're a ninja, I never doubted for a second that you were playing Tarzan as a kid, and probably into your early teens. As for your half-siblings... military prep school? Thanks for sharing.
