Papermate: Or spinster-hood? Need some propositions. Any suggestions?
a happy medium?
I am not as negative about marriage as some on here as I have witnessed some wonderful marriages
but because of my experience of being sold out in a marriage by my ex COMPARED to the good marriages on my side of the family .... (nearly everyone on his side is divorced - some multiple times) - it would take someone pretty special, stable and genuine to convince me to marry again
I don't see any benefits in the whole institution of marriage now, esp in Australia where things are so against the males in every aspect, there is no real gain at all, but a potential gain for the women.....so much for equality
marriage should not be viewed as soemthing where someone gains and someone loses
and I do not say this lightly because my ex raked me over the coals. despite that I do not think a person should marry if they are viewing the relationship in terms of what will/can happen when it is over
but I come from a family where all but 1 or 2 couples in my family married for life - so I have seen it work well & know it can
so my feeling is a little old fashion I guess - I think - don't do it unless you know it's for life...
I know it's the wrong way to look at it, but there are a lot of scammers out there in Australia, a lot of the women just want to screw a bloke over whether its marriage or having kids....
There is a major problem with laziness and lack of morals and ethics in my age group unfortuantely
