JustChuteMeNow 0 #2 October 14, 2008 My daughter isn't married because I told her that boys were bad. Hopefully college doesn't change her mind. Think of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Misternatural 0 #4 October 15, 2008 It's definitely not for everyone-There was a time back in the day i might have considered it but dayam! I'm glad I didn't. I tried four times to live with a woman in my home but could not go more than three years. So much happier having them visit now and again while living in our own spaces.Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

SarahC07 0 #7 October 15, 2008 Oddly enough, I think I've found someone who can counter my craziness. Someone who I can trust when I'm not in his presence, who I respect and who respects me. I live my life the way I choose and he does the same and we "get" that. And we're not in an exclusive relationship.... or are we? ... weeeeeirddd.

FlyingJ 0 #8 October 15, 2008 I'm interested down the line a little, but for the moment I'm still interested in just focusing on me and what I want to do with life, career, etc. I'm open to getting smacked upside the head by the right girl and know I might change my outlook in a hurry if that happens, but for now I want to make decisions based on what is best for me and make sure I really know who I am before I transition from "Me" into "We."Killing threads since 2004.

SarahC07 0 #10 October 15, 2008 I see nothing wrong with what I'm doing. It's slowly turning into the healthiest "relationship" I've ever been in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #11 October 15, 2008 Because I cannot see why on earth I would ever sign a Contract that basically says if she ever gets mad at me she gets half (or more, depending on the judges mood) of my stuff. Seriously, I cannot think of a single compelling reason to get "married". I have a Child that is almost grown. I have no desire at all to have more children. I got pretty lucky the first time. So many people get obsessed with "Getting Married" or "Finding that life partner" that they miss out on a lot of life. All because we are conditioned to do so. I have never been married and hope to live my entire life without getting married. I may live the rest of my life with the same person but I will do so because it is what I choose to do, Not because I am contractually obligated to do so.

anthonyfellows 0 #17 October 15, 2008 Show me the benefits of marriage and I'll consider it. I'm still sticking to my rule of no marriage before 30 and no children (if any at all) before 35. Here's why I'm not married ... I'm happier and have more money than ever and it keeps getting better. Why would I want to give anyone the opportunity to take any of that away from me? Am I just selfish or does that make sense to anyone else?Serious relationships turn into work after a few weeks and I already got a fucking job :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ H.A.F. = Hard As Fuck ...

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #19 October 15, 2008 I'm no longer married. I was divorced in 2005. If I EVER consider getting married again, I trust one of you fine people to please hunt me down and hit me in the head with a brick. That should knock the sense back into me.
