Science? From the Daily Mail? That's unpossible!

Doesn't cause crazy in old age, true. At that point she's just slowly sucking the will to live right out of you

Well that explains a lot.

You mother farker. My wife keeps asking what I'm laughing at.

You've only come here to shill for big pharma. More than 85% of the people killed in car crashes in 2008 were vaccinated in infancy. You can't tell me immunisation isn't dangerous.

Lifelong bachelorhood and not living into old age FTW!

Or it could be that people who are going to develop Alzheimers later in life are less likely to marry or stay married.

What's more likely, that people who developed full blown dementia later in life had characteristics earlier on that made it more difficult to share their life with someone,
or that talking to my wife is literally stopping my brain from shrinking?

BTW, this is the obligatory fark correlation vs cause and effect comment.

This is bad news for my husband. He was looking forward to the day he forgets me.

The causes crazy part I get.......geesh!

But experts suspect that constant social interaction between marriage partners may keep brain cells in better working order.

It also keeps your reflexes sharp by periodically having to duck to avoid thrown punches or objects.

One theory is that simply being around people can have a protective effect regarding Alzheimer's. The best guess is that neurons operate on a use-or-lose basis, and using them prevents degradation.

/Master's thesis on Alzheimer's disease
//Rough explanation above, gets the point across

Of course married people are less likely to get Alzheimer's.

How in the hell can you be afflicted by a disease known for memory loss, when there's somebody constantly reminding you of EVERY little THING you've done WRONG for the LAST THIRTY YEARS?

So basically what this article is saying is your damned if you are married at middle aged but damned if your not later on.

Great, that's just great

My mom still complains about stuff my dad did when they were dating. Poor bastard.

Well, back to drinking.

Bad science.

100% of them consumed dihydrogen monoxide in infancy. 100%--now, that's a correlation! Ban DHMO!

I don't think it's too likely in this case but an awful lot of research into causes of various situations does seem to get the cart before the horse.

I can explain that: in middle age, marriage is highly correlated with the presence of children in the home. Once the kids are gone, voila: no more crazy.

The Daily Mail is such a shiat rag.

ifyouknew: I can explain that: in middle age, marriage is highly correlated with the presence of children in the home. Once the kids are gone, voila: no more crazy.

Makes sense. You're married in both, but the only time your actually crazy is when you have kids in the house.
