Marriage is overrated

[mintesa]

Couples i know who have kids though dont seem to happy, except one of my friends. Whenever I visit them they brag about their daughter "She can say daddy! AWWWWWWWWW " 5 minutes long...

The most couple with kids I know are grumpy all the time ( they try to pass their kid around, like can you do this? No go to mommy. No go to daddy ). NO i cant go, i have to watch my son blabla, I ask why dont you take him with you? no too much hassle blabla... Then they always tell me, oh you are so lucky, you have no kids, you have so much time blabla... Then the next day they ask "when are you planning to have kids" ( i cant count anymore how many times couple's with kids ask me the same question EVERY WEEK MONTH YEAR ) Yeah so couple with kids are those who scare me. They scare me so much I dont wanna have kids .......

Find a woman with a job. It's like year 2008 women have jobs, all of my girl friends are working ( 3 of them even have higher salary than their hubby ), even those with kids. My mom was a housewife, but thats like a generation ago.

And that right there, is why marriages do not work these days. Do the exact opposite of what this woman says, and you'll be on the right track.

I have no idea about marriage yet but I know that I had a lot more money when I was single

[Pnigro]

[FreeBirdbulker]

All the ones that i know seem happy and their wives are working. One of my friend got a divorce last year though.

most married guys i know tell me to never do it. in fact, they have all told me that. plus i see my parents marriage. and my best friends. and my other good friend from high school who is going thru a divorce. to me, its not worth it

[SexyChic]

Hahahaa.... Love Burn.

On the other hand, all of the married people I know do not seem to be very happy, and they're wives eyes are "llinguring" you could say.

Funny I see lots of husbands' eyes lingering

Well I was suggesting to those guys who are scared to get married coz they think women will take away all their money. But if someone doesnt want a woman with a job, then look for a woman with no job.

[JoeyDaFool]

marriage is mental, physical, and financial suicide.

Yea my parents got divorced too. It sucks big time. Thats why I said, I will only get married to a guy that will never divorce me and vice versa. I found that guy, so I'm very happy and I know that I am super super lucky to have found him. We have been through tough times together before marriage, and that also probably made us realize that we will always be together. I know it makes NO SENSE at all to know that you will be with someone forever, but we just know.

[FunkDaddy]

Oh my, You ask the hard questions don't you. lol

Well first off I was not always the choirboy I am now. I had my first experience with a woman after I was out of high school. After that experience, I tried my best to make up for lost time. Shall we say my preference then was for the kind of woman that had their reputation somewhat tarnished. The more tarnished all the better! (That Scarlet Letter thing sure would have been helpful. Ha! Ha!)

So, there I was thinking I was king of the world and enjoying the lusty ways of many an eager young comely lady when my grandmother stepped in and changed my life. She did not approve of my dating (fu*king) so many tarnished women (whores) and said that I should be dating a nice woman. Well in my arrogance, I stated to her that I would date the first nice (would not put out) girl I could find.

It just so happened that I was home visiting my parents and the next nice woman I ran across was a neighbor girl that I had grown up around. Keeping true to my word, I asked her out. We hit it off right away. She was an ugly duckling when she was young but had turned out to be an extremely good-looking and very sexy woman. I could not help myself and was smitten right away. I could not say it was love at first sight but lust was high on the list.

I knew I would fall for her with our first kiss. I had never felt a kiss like it before. I do not know what it was and I have spent years thinking about it but I cannot truly explain what happens when we touch. The only thing I can say is that it is like some kind of magic! I married my wife 362 days after our first date and I have never been with another women since. Now 25 years later it seems our love has carried us along like one long soft kiss.

You asked what has made our marriage last....
I guess it could be summed up by six words:
Love
Honesty
Commitment
Faithfulness
Trust
And Respect.

Each of these ingredients given in abundance to each other and to yourself makes for a solid foundation to a long and happy marriage. Break any one of these ingredients and your marriage will truly suffer.

Lastly, I want to pass along the best advice that was given to me about marriage. It was from my wife's Grandfather. He said, "Sometimes marriage is like sitting on a hot stove. You just have to learn to live with the blisters!" Truer words of wisdom were never said.

You talk like you're in Medieval England. u fightin crusades brah?

[Stalwart Steve]

Marriage is foolish obviously, but if you go through life without having procreated then you've failed any possible objective goal pretty much.

Oh no, nihilism

is it me or does Ivy seem like she had some back ones in the past and hasnt let it go? (just saying)

Marriage doesn't have the same merit as it used to because people are more selfish than every in today's society.

Have a problem with the wife? Divorce her. Don't bother working it out.

Have a problem with your husband? Sleep around. He was probably cheating on you anyway.

Communication problems? Assume the worst without ever talking to the other person and leave them.

Rather than to work hard to make a marriage work, so many people want to take the easy way out.

Single = freedom.. no stress, dependencies, get with a girl when you want to, do whatever the hell you want. No guilt from cheating or wanting to cheat, hang with your buddies, and total control of your life. Marriage can be great, but it's not for me anytime soon.

Dude, if I was 39 years old I would want to grow the fuk up. We can't all be college frat guys forever.

I am grown up by definition, and yes I've been married/divorced. You're not 39, and if you were, you would think back about what a fukkn idiot you were at your at 23.

You're right, I'm not 39. And if I was, the last thing I would want to be 'that guys' who is re-living the glory days of being 23.

You'll be the fat balding tub of **** taking orders at the counter. I'm the guy that stays in shape (soccer 3 times a week, 3rd degree blackbelt in taekwondo), has financial security, a job I enjoy, tight family, hanging with friends, dating girls, and enjoying life. I'm not wondering what I'm going to do with my life (that's you), my career and life are ballin'.

*Yawn* Sure thing. Whatever you say.

And I find it ironic that you put 'u mad' when you just went into a ****-spin with your post. I think we struck a nerve with you. Please go on about how you're living the dream life of a 23 year old at 39. I'm dying to know more.

Sure son, here's a pic of my new car:









It's loaded, I'm planning on modding it up.. If you see me coming and I make an order, you'd best listen up when I say no fries, bitch.

Now you're trying to impress young people on an online forum with pictures of your car?

Being 39 sure sounds great

And I'm not sure where the french fries joke is coming from, considering I'm going for my Master degree this fall. But if that helps you sleep at night knowing someone might be living a better life at 23 than you did, by all means.

[wimpking]

Hey don't ask for it and then cry about it. Your argument is idiotic, "don't live like you're 23 when you're 39". What's your point? Nah, you're just hatin' son.

Sure thing 39 year old. U mad, I understand.

Don't like to be called out like that. U jealous of my age?

Keep on trying to impress us youngins on a bodybuilding internet forum Shows how mature you really are!

[Stray800]

My take on marriage - Success or failure of any marriage depends on the two individuals involved...alot of people talk about marriage as this individual entity with a life of it's own when it's really just the status of two free-thinking individuals.

Most people marry for the wrong reasons and when it ends in failure - it's easier to blame marriage itself than to actually take a look at yourself and the person you chose to marry.

Cliffs:

Blaming marriage is similar to two people working on a cake and when they ruin it - blame the cake for the end result.

Nah son, I get mid 20's from girls, I have to prove my age with my license. I actually do have quite a bit more life experience than you do, especially in the way of relationships and marriage. The fact that you think you know better speaks volumes. Have you ever been laid? Just sayin'.

[wimpking]

chill out

Nice! $100,000 car? let's see some pics, jealous..

First it was that I'm working fast food and cleaning up your ****, which you failed miserably at that insult since I'm in the process of getting a Master's degree.

Now you're trying to say I've never been laid. Think 39 year old: how many 23 year old male virgins do you know of? And what are the chances you are directly speaking to one on an internet forum?
