Well, the first part of your statement is somewhat true....most men won't express their feelings as women do........HOWEVER...SPARTAN..... women will likely "do something about it" as well.........and let you men know about it after we have..........
No....not really......my 26 year old......whom is a professional rock climber, has no intentions of marriage......would welcome the thought of him finding a girl and settleing down.........the lesser of two evils...ya know......the rock or marriage.......at least the fall from marriage won't break his body into pieces..........
I'm with ya on this one.......my son, 23, gets married on Saturday.......When it's just somebody you know you say, "well, good luck to ya" When it's your own son you want to kidnap him and lock him in the basement until he comes to his senses..........
Well.......that is not a problem here........there have been times I thought for sure the neighbor would call the cops........thinking I was abusing him......Hell.......I can make him moan, I can make him whimper......I can make him howel.............
Here ya go........take the steps man........just take the steps.......
I wrote this a couple years back....thought I would share with you.......
First come the tears; lots of them. Those big alligator tears flowing from deep within your soul. The kind of sobs that cause your body to shake uncontrollably. The pain at this point is so intense that a drug induced coma is the only way to be free from it.
Then comes undeserved apologies. At this point you would apologize for world hunger if he would just give you another chance. The thing is, you have done nothing to apologize for, in fact, he is the one whom should be apologizing to you.
Then comes the sorrow. This is possibly the worst part as you can't cry anymore, you just hurt so bad that all you want to do is sleep and sleep is what you do; for hours or like myself, 17 hours of uninterrupted sleep. When you wake up, the pain is not as bad, but it's still there, throbbing in your head and twisting in your gut. This is the time when you make that mistake and try calling him and of coarse he doesn't answer. This is when you are the most vulnerable and should he ask, you would walk through fire to have him back. It is best to not have any contact with him at all; this is when you need to get on with the next step as soon as possible.
Then the anger begins. Again you try calling, not to plead but to cuss. It is also a wise thing if you don't try calling, as you are bound to say things you will regret by the time you get to the steps to come. You begin to think about what really happened and realize you did nothing wrong and as a matter of fact you really don't know what went wrong. At this point all that sorrow has turned inward and is churning a pretty good streak of pure rage and anger. He has now been called every cuss word there is and you have made up a few new ones. During this stage, it is not wise to be out in public.
More sleep
Now is when you start thinking the whole situation over. You try to rationalize what really happened. You think about how he is the one that asked you out. He is the one that kissed you first. You realize that he must be attracted to you, he must feel comfortable with you. You realize it isn't anything that you have done and it must be something he is struggling with; which takes you to the next step.
Forgiveness. This is a critical step, because you long so badly to talk to him and find out his reasons for what has happened. You miss him and just want to talk. You pick up the phone and even dial the number ten times an hour, but you never go through with it. You don't want to push him further away and all you want is to have him close. It is during this stage that you stumble back into prior stages. You are weak and emotional and any little thing can set you back. It is best if you can consult a close friend or do something to keep yourself busy. Time moves slow; an hour is like a day. You will beg the phone to ring. Be strong and don't give in to calling him; it should be his move from here on.
It's because of statements such as "are you going to make an honest woman out of her and marry her?" or "are you going to stop living in sin and get married?"
Marriage, like BND said, does not ever guarantee that it is going to last forever. In fact, statistically, more couples stay together longer, when they just co-habitate rather than marry.
The benefits to marriage? Tax bennefits? Well, combined incomes of married couples gennerally sends them into a high tax bracket....
Health Insurance? Most couples both work....can have seperate insurance policies through their employers.
Children? Do you really think it matters to them if you are "leagally" married, as long as you are both there...and love them?
Seriously........commitment doesn't depend upon a piece of paper.....it depends upon you.....your willingness to be commited and stay committed........
Damn........that was sweet.......it was almost like a proposal.....
In my heart....in my soul....we are "married".........it is a union....a commitment for a life time......I don't need a piece of paper or a ceremony to know this..................
Ok, so now I'm leaving this thread because my chronilogical age says I'm 45.......my mental age says I'm 25.................so..........I'm gonna listen to my mental self.............out of here......
