Andalix Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Guys, I need your help. I have to look every word up from a text I got in English class. I don't know what "their marriage is not on the rocks" means. Mainly the bolded part. I'd really appreciate if you could help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what "their marriage is not on the rocks" means. Mainly the bolded part. I'd really appreciate if you could help me. generally, from what i know anyway, saying something is on the rocks means it's not going well/it's having trouble so saying their marriage is not on the rocks probably means their marriage is still going well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, thanks! I'm always having problems with expressions. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reptar Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 Life is like a movie, if you've sat through more than half of it and its sucked every second so far, it probably isn't gonna get great right at the end and make it all worthwhile. None should blame you for walking out early Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
