YouMeUs: 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.
Why shouldn't it be that way? Why is it people believe you should be stuck with someone you don't love, or sometimes don't even get along with because of some piece of paper?
That doesn't mean people are disposable, it just means not everyone is compatable, and it can take time to figure that out.
I think a lot of people get married because they're insecure in their relationship in the first place. It's not going to fix it or magically make it work by saying I do.
Mysticalli: 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".
Kinda like pretending to be married? I have met a few women who are in a "living together" relationship but never seen them wearing commitment rings. Is this something new? It's not a bad idea, actually, in that it may detour single people from making passes/flirting with them...well, some of them anyway.
time4fun4u: I think a good distance is ideal That way,none of my girlfriends are likely to bump into each other.
also a good distance between me and my lovers, so we not get bored of each other and every day routine, every time we meet is a honey moon. marriage for people in my age, why???

you´re right. They pretend to the others and this way they can avoid the flirters.
galrads: huh, this is news to me. Are they worn on a certain finger. Do they have a specific shape, metal, rock et. al. ?
Hi, galrads. Well, I don´t know if there´s an specific kind of ring cause I´ve never been in such relationship. But they wear on the usual finger(is there a right name for that finger?) as the married people do, on the left hand.

See, that's the thing. Knowing that IF it doesn't work, it's EASY to toss it out and get another one. That is being a disposable society.
And I don't believe anyone should be stuck in a marriage that isn't working (if they have tried to make it work), or being binded by a piece of paper keeping them in it just for the sake of the paper.
But what I do believe in is KNOWING there is love between the couple and regardless of how hard things may get, as long as that love holds up and BOTH work to maintain the relationship, divorce will never happen. Same applies to living together--it will only last if both feel the love and continue to work on the relationship. And in either case, is it not the compatability that helps form a relationship? I'd like to think that anyone would first want to have that compatability long before any marriage (or living together) is discussed.

That is a good point, people need not take care of their belongings anymore because they can afford to buy another. Too bad that has transcended to relationships as well. I take pride in the things that I own, I take care of them and repair them when they're not working. I think of a relationship in the same way.
LOLOL... i could take you up on that! lol and by the time you've finished pedaling to 2I's, and visit for a while, then peddle across canada..just think about what great shape you'll be in . the perfect time for a painting....grin lol
