I see nothing wrong at all with being in a relationship (permanent) with no marriage intent or intentions.

Hey MM,
Personally if I knew anyone was on wife 3,4,5...I'd run the other way. That would just freak me out!
And people do rush into things as they are needy...but some people it does work out. My Grandparents were married 46 years and they got married within 3 months.
And I think the Oprah thing is fine. But who knows. I may change my mind later.

Marriage is just a piece of paper...introduced by the church as a means of control and later adopted by governments...

Well I'm not going to Quote all that. None of my business!!
I was with my 2 childrens father for 7 years all up, I left him in 2002 after it got to aggressive 4 me and I have been on my own
ever since. I have had a couple of friendships in that time but nobody I would want to commit myself to or make a constant factor
in my kids lives.
I just haven't met him yet!!!! If he is out there at all! The next one I would like to be with is, THE ONE , I dont want to choose wrong this time.
I am telling you this to say two things:
1. You are not unique
2. I want you to know that there are people who can share their EMOTIONS.
Now what you do with that info is up to you cos when I press send it'll be out there!! For you all to see. Does that make me weak, I dont think so. In fact I know I'm not cos I have supported me and my 2 kids for 8 Years and I am A strong woman.

I wouldn't mind a long term relationship.
I have found that it is men who jump into new relationships right after separation/divorce. I separated in 1982...didn't start dating until last year. WHAT!!! true. raised my daughters without interference. Well just haven't found anyone suitable plus being out of the dating scene makes one timid.

A lot of people nowadays seem to find the institution of marriage a bit old-fashioned.
We all probably know couples who work at their relationship more because they are not married, and stay together for several years or more, more than perhaps a married couple would stay together.
Being married tends to make a person try less at times. Perhaps the wife would let herself go in terms of not making an effort to look her best, or the husband would not put the romantic effort in that he did when at the start of the relationship before they got married.
Perhaps people look on marriage as a type of security blanket.

Um no! I did have some fun times I'm no angel here. But at the end of the day I had 2 kids to bring up and not a lot of support, OK. Kids change the whole scenario. End of story really!

yeah... i know kids change everything.... trust me !!!!
but that still dont mean that you have to take a vow of celibacy and resort to just be miserable and never do anything on account of them...
you can still have fun and even date without involving your kids with the person and without expecting him/her to be THE ONE !!!!

I'm no angel!!!

I never thought I would consider getting married again. Then you meet someone who totally gets you, you're soul mate, you're perfect match. You find yourself wanting to completely commit to that person. I don't believe in traditional marriages, I'm more into a commitment ceremony. Getting up in front of the people you love and who love you and professing your commitment to someone who you vow to love forever.

MetalMilitia: Im starting to think im rather unique up in here.... so i know 3 dudes in particular who have been married, had kids and been subsequently divorced....
one of them remained single for about a year, then found a chick and is now engaged... he is (in my view) the smartest one as he is actually taking his time and ensuring he dont marry another member of the Evil Empire... but the other two...
well.. one is going for wife #3 and the other is already working on #5... its like they are having a competition or something... i've known them for about 10 years now and in that time, i'd be surprised if they have a combined 1 year of single status
and thats just the dudes.... i know women that were remarried just months after a divorce !!!
... and then there are those in here who are proud to tell us all that they traveled, they met, they copulated and now they are getting hitched !!!
then you read the forums and online profiles and all you see is... "im looking for the man/woman of my dreams" "im ready for a long lasting relationship" "i want a husband/wife" .... blah blah blah....are yall really THAT hard up for company???? am i the only one that reads that and thinks CODEPENDENT????? What ever happened to going out having fun and letting things SLOWLY run their course????im sorry, but i just see that as a sign of desperation... and i dont do desperate... i guess that's why i cant see online dating ever working for me.... if a chick mentions marriage within the first 2 years of dating IM OUT !!!
more importantly, is there ANYONE there who would not be opposed to just being in a relationship with someone (permanently) with no marriage intentions?????

Yes ME! Having been in one long-term marriage (23 years) and being divorced for 3, I see absolutely no necessity of getting hitched again! I like my independence, and it would have to be a very special person for me to even consider co-habiting and not a decision I would take lightly. I kind of like my space...
