normalguy68: Is passion able to last in a long term relationship?
Does being married take away the burning fires and steamy intimacy or can it last past the initial courting stage?


Yes, as long as both partners are willing to keep it interesting and spontaneous.

wannabeauthor: Nope...
Sorry i simply do not agree with you there...

You are talking about marriage as if it is a monogomous relationship... with no others involved...

While most of us would like our relationship to be with 'THE ONE' it is easy to become dissolusioned when we are deceived...

Nothing is worse than seeing a miserable couple raising equally miserable children...

I love my new freedom...

I can talk to whoever I want...

I can eat spaghetti out of the can...

I can love my kids because I am not scared that he is going to come up behind me and do God knows what...

After my experience with men I would much rather be batting for the 'other team'...

BUT

I hope that you find your very special someone and you can marry her and make her as miserable or happy as you like...

Good luck to you...

And if she seeks her comfrt and emotional security elsewhere... maybe you need to look more closely at yourself...

Maybe YOU are to blame...


That's it on the head, she wanted to live near her family in Sydney, we have a successful business and are paying off a home in Vic, but to give it all up and go back to renting and working for a boss for peanuts to make him rich, agh agh.
Not this little monkey, we find places in our lives where things are better, we have to set roots and make a firm foundation to bring the kids up so their branches can weather the storms and can always come back to that safe base.
I'm also fed up with moving from location to location, rental to rental and want the kids to stay in the same schools, not be shoved from pillar to post.
The ex has to stay here in Vic 'cos of the kids as I wouldn't let her move interstate away from their dad.
Funny thing is while with me, she had tripped back and forward to Sydney 5 times for a period of 4 months, since then only once for a week, seems being single means you have a house to pay rent for, kids to look after and a business you have to work in to get any income, ie: don't work - no money.

Sorry normalguy i think there is more to your breakup than the x just wanting to live in Sydney closer to family. I can see some of your points about staying put, i love Wonthaggi but its always sad for the kids when parents seperate.blues

It's heartbreaking as they love both their parents and loved what we had together, too young to have to go through this crap.
As long as we keep our bs away from them, we can make their lives the best we can.

I've actually got on my profile on another site that I do not want to get married again or even live with a guy for that very reason. I do believe it kills it for whatever reason. And having only discovered passion 5 years ago, I sure as hell aint going to give it up by shacking up 2gether. Would rather be single.

There are so many people choosing not to get married for that very reason.

thouroughbred: in any relationship, no one owns anyone else, keep that in mind

A marriage is not a monogamous relationship, it is just a legal ritual. Being married is no guarantee that either party will be monogamous. How many times have you heard that my husband/wife is cheating on me???

A monogamous relationship is where both partys actually commit to each other. It doesnt have to be a legal ritual, it can just be an understanding.

Monogamous doesnt not equal marriage and the two shouldnt be confused.

Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing, you can choose to stay footloose and fancy free, you can choose to be single, or to enter into a relationship and or conform and get married.
