I really think it is okay for me to feel about it the way I do and others to fill about it they way they do, and I have no problem with people living together w/o marriage or having children...but for me, i have lived with someone and have decided i will not do it again w/o marriage...that is what is right for me....

Gangel, thanks for you know what.



God bless.

You are very welcome sweetie..

I don't know anything.. Just I am a strong believer in marriage, that's all.

me too.. dunno about girls.. but guys can get a bit lazy about commitment when they have all they need on a plate... If I live with someone again it will be someone who wants to be with me for life.. and me him

Yes and So Am I...

OF marriage.

exactly

I'm talking about the 'talk' we had the other day.

Ah,yes....Was I right?

marriage when it is taken seriously is the greatest commitment a couple can have (my opinion)

for others it is just a game

for some it means till death do as part

for other it means till we divorce

Yes you were! I was sort of discouraged, but you helped me see the subject, as objectively as i did before. It was just a phase, now i'm fine.

I dont really know how long divorces take these days but I do feel that they are just the legalities - nothing can touch the heartbreak that I experienced when I broke up with my childrens father

nobody on this thread has mentioned the heartbreak aspect - that isnt lessened by whether or not two people are married - hurt and pain are hurt and pain - as far as I can see, as long as posessions are always in joint names then you are covered on the material side of things - its the heartbreak that hurts most - and the seeing through somebody who you thought was the best thing since sliced bread....

makes no difference, married or not - breaking up is hard to do......

I guess some know when they are wrong...Nice to know!!

Good to know that.Perhaps I'm more conservative in my beliefs...

Oh yeah it certainly is..

It's funny (to me) now.. when I look back at my Solicitor (lawyer) appointments..

The poor man.. he must of used to DREAD me coming in.. haha I would start crying in the waiting room.. then it would take me about the first 20mins of my appointment to stop crying enough to talk.. JUST then would sniff and cry until I left..

he must have thought thank GOD she is gone!

I myself have never been married, but not by choice. I can't find a woman that wants anything to do with a guy in a wheelchair. I guess I will sooner, or later, but for right now I'm still struggling to find a girlfriend. There are times I find myself asking that same question. I'm starting to wonder if I even believe in love anymore.

exactly it is a subjective matter, whatever works for you is fine by me and isnt really anybody elses business, just as my choice to eschew marriage is nobody elses business either - but all this stuff about there being less commitment in unmarried realtionships is simply poppycock - imo

I do sympathise Claire but Im talking about long before that even - in the deep dark depths of lonely realisation - the place where the realisation sets in and all you can do is cry........... marriage makes no difference there and anybody who has lost their love must recognise the feeling I am speaking of
