presuming_m: Well, it ALWAYS takes two people to screw up a relationship. If all you want to do is talk about what the other person did wrong, you obviously have not given much thought to what you did wrong...and that means you are doomed to repeat your mistakes. That makes me want to RUN!!!


Kudos! And that's why I stay so thin, all of that running! lol.

presuming_m: Exactly. But I understand what it feels like to think that the local options are...hopeless.


Yeah me too. And of course the internet does allow us to expand our search.

But having traveled a lot and knowing just how big oceans are, I think that we should start our search near to home and expand outward instead of starting and the antipode and working our way back.

Yeah but one of them can be doing all the screwing while the other one is just getting screwed.

Yes, I do believe it can work. Just ask Old Foxy Guy and a very special gorgeous lady from Cyprus. He left South America for her and they are happily married the last I saw.
I think he changed his CS name as we were all giving opinions on what his new name should be. But hey, they are a fantastic couple.
We all have a soulmate someplace in this world. Be it next door, across town or across the world. You will each know at some point that you are right for each other. I cannot believe that out of an incredible billions of people in this world that there is no one out there for us.

I love your words of encouragement. If we all take our time to find that one spark that turns into a passionate flame, we will come to realize that such a relationship is eternal.

I only want a long distance relationship anyway. I am not here looking for a husband or a date and I don't want anyone knocking on my door. I am only here to enjoy the forums and to make some online friends.

I think marriage is supposed to be a special bonding of two people in love, but with having divorces made so easily available, it may have caused that bonding to not be so special and now just living together has become the norm.
But with just living together, do you really feel that the relationship is solid and complete? Ever feel like there's still something missing?

yeah, I miss the official mother in law...

but not sure if I really miss that...

laugh

for the reasons you just mentioned, I think marriage isn't so important anymore.
they spend tons of money for that one day, but get divorced within 3 months.
what's the value of that?

maybe it is my dutch point of view, I don't know, but to me...that little piece of paper is worthless.
I've seen so many couples bond by this same piece of paper and they fought each other out of the room....and I've seen couples happily living together with no problems at all.

what I am trying to say is, that it's okay to be married if your heart feels it's okay.
and it's okay not to be married if your heart says it's okay.

do I make sense?

It's the amount of work we put into a relationship that makes all the difference. The value is what we each percieve...if you go into a marriage with a single thought that it may not work, it will not work. Anyone feeling that way should not get married. But does that also apply to living together? Or is it just about a piece of paper that turns some off? What about a symbol to let others know you're in a relationship? Married couples usually wear rings to let others know they're taken. What does a couple living together have to let others know they're taken?

That makes total sense and I agree, but I'd still like to hear some answers to my previous questions so I understand better.

I can totally agree, I believe that is where society is headed. Dating and marriage is like a career to many, you can always secretly line up the next job (on the dating sites) and give 2-weeks notice and be out the door.

For me, I'm spiritual in the sense that I need the connection with one's heart and soul so that we can be together in this life and the next. I'm affraid to go it alone when it's nice to know someone is truly with you and by your side. I could never dishonor my mate when I find her, as I guarantee Karma would hunt me down. lol.

We're living in a disposable society and it's only getting bigger. It's getting to where we can jump into a relationship while knowing it can be dissolved/discarded if it wasn't to our liking.

I'm like you with wanting/needing a complete connection with one's heart and soul. I believe there are others feeling the same out there.

I have seen couples who just live together but for the world they´re already married. They even wear commitment rings to show the world that they´re "married". dunno
