Sad some people have never experienced marriage (98)
Shell225: you're right you know... and one of the mistakes we make in relationships is forgetting to keep investing time and energy. As a business person, I know that I have to keep investing myself in my business - or it will stagnate... relationships are like that too.are we onto something.. the Business Owners Guide to Successful Relationships..

I have to continually toss the dead stock out that hasn't sold as it clutters up space the better stuff could be taking up. At one time every year, I have a huge sale, whatever I don't like that is left over either goes to the opp shop or the recycle bin.

skippyguy: nicely put , u have to sound upbeat in business and personal...although there will be down times as well, but u quite right no-one wants a misery guts (though my neck is killing me..lol), its awesome u send a letter to rate your service...shows alot of pride in your work
ina relationship u r quite rite it does not happen enough..and it should work both ways, i wouldn't quote it quite as a *service* though... i knw close relations whom after a long time married are separately very sad...i think though communication has been an issue, not always easy after such a long time, but effort has to work both ways...or things are not looking good at all, i have asked for feedback before, not more soo within a relationship, more so to a dating experince, but some people are not keen to part with information, for whatever reason, ...and really then u r left with very little to go on...
p.s u should put a pic of you in your mankey trackie dacs and moccies on your website !!!!

I have certain standards as a femme fatale to uphold 
Its true Skip, all to often instead of 'sharing' a difficult day, we continue the day when we get home, cranky and fussy with people who had nothing to do with it, and have utterly no idea why we are being difficult.
I can understand why someone who doesnt know us well, in a dating senario, will be uncomfortable giving feedback, but I was thinking more along the lines of a long term relationship, taking time out occassionally to assess it as such.
I agree though, sometimes it would be nice to get some feedback after a date.when I was saying service I was meaning in the sense of work/business, as the analogy - the parallel being our part/performance in the relationship.
to you for your neck... now you owe me hugs for my fluie coldie thing.. Shell225: Yep they are goals, and we all need goals. But the picture isnt incomplete... YOU are the picture. YES another person may add some depth and colour to a part of our picture, but in the end we are the picture.
Pieces arent missing from us/you because we/you are alone. We are complete people with love to give, deserving of love, not broken. Being single doesnt break us.
I still feel like I'm a few stubbies short of a picnicPieces arent missing from us/you because we/you are alone. We are complete people with love to give, deserving of love, not broken. Being single doesnt break us.

you said it..Marriage can be beautiful but you have to be married to a beautiful person.

careful Normal...your getting abit funny in your old age!
Sad is not the word I'd use. These people are smart intelligent and have standards that they adhere to. These people should probably be leading our countries.
Marriage (An argument I've been in many times on this site)is for life: If we go by examples set in Nature, Or fulfill the marriage contract to the full extent within which it is written.
So these unmarried people knew they couldn't fulfill the contract and have bypassed it. Thats intelligence. Why do something that we know we are going to fail at.

Emerold99: Why is it sad? I was in a relationship for over 19 years before setting foot on this site. I have never been married and my relationship lasted longer than a lot of legitimate weddings.
Whilst the memories and photos of weddings are lovely to look at, they are not essential to fulfillment and whilst I believe in the constitution of marriage I don't feel the need to show everyone else how much I love my partner because I have a piece of paper stating so.IMO, legitimate marriages end in costly drama. If you want to get married and have memories and photos to look back on... go have a pagan ceremony, if you're that keen.

I've been married twice it is only a piece of paper you can still have kids live together and be very happy. Or you can live together no kids and still be happy quality of life is what it's all about. My two kids are in relationships that have been going for over 10 years no grandkids they are very happy. I don't miss what I don't have ( grandkids) and as long as they are happy so am I. I am happy being single if I meet someone I will be happy in a relationship / friendship. So whats there to be sad about
freominx: Well, I experienced marriage for 13 years...... it was fine (sort of) until our first child was born and husband resented first born because he was a boy (ex husband had 5 brothers so wanted a daughter), he also didn't like the attention being taken away from him, and given to new son. Ex husband became abusive, both emotionally and physically, then we had another child 4 years later, a daughter for husband, he doted on her and rejected son even more. He became so abusive towards me and son, that I had no choice but to leave permanently. Son is now 26y.o. and suffers severe depression stemming from total rejection from his father. Father ended up with a severe drug problem, joined the Bandidos bikie gang, then prison for 8 years for attempted murder, children haven't seen him since they were 8 and 4 respectively, we all lived in hiding for many years after my divorce. My children want nothing to do with him, even though he has tried to make contact since out of prison. He blames me to this day. I chose to raise my children without the revolving door of "men friends", so I have had no relationships since the divorce.
HENCE, I have NOT had a good experience of marriage, and have no wish to "try again".

I am sad to hear your story and I wish you happiness whatever you chose in the future for you and your family.

I'm sure a service would be great for a quick tune up of any relationship. Change the sparks, adjust the timing, change the oil and readjust the blinkers. No need to trade it in on a new model.Its true Skip, all to often instead of 'sharing' a difficult day, we continue the day when we get home, cranky and fussy with people who had nothing to do with it, and have utterly no idea why we are being difficult.
