Squirrels has pretty much nailed it but I'd like to offer a little more to what has already been said. My work has me in direct contact with the 16-25 crew so I have a pretty good take on how this works. It's not like I'm hitting on the young ones these days but way back when.....:). In my...

Good post Rollo, Sorry to hear about your father. Your post has me thinking about how much our parents relationships/marriages affect our own. Somewhere there must have been a study showing the relationship between divorce rates in that case. (ie. if the parents were separated/divorced...

Really? Maybe it's time for a poll? :) Can you expand on that? Gosh that seems a little over dramatic. I envision whips and torture when you speak like this. If she's truly that evil then take every thing then. I'll be fine with the clothes on my back. I'd walk out of there with a...

Sorry Tazman, I figured you were directing your argument in an attempt to make me admit that I was somehow pressured or brainwashed into marriage. Hence my statements that it was something I wanted to do. If you want me to list some reasons for getting married just so you can counter with "Why...

Betheman: Sorry if it seems like I'm getting defensive but as I'm sure you know this isn't exactly the most marriage friendly forum. Which is exactly why I don't like to give out too many details about my married life. I haven't been married for long but so far so good. Hopefully if things...

I got married because I wanted to make that commitment. It feels really good and I am very happy I did it. I felt no pressures whatsoever. Sure everything could go to hell in a hurry but like any major commitment or decision I feel like I did my homework to the best of my ability...

So if I answer 30 years of happy marriage does that give me more credibility? What about if I say we've been together in a committed relationship for 30 years but only married for the last 3? Any change in credibility there? Also is the relationship suddenly doomed because I signed the...

I guess you missed it in my previous post. I didn't NEED any contract. The papers really mean nothing to me (or her). I WANTED to make an official commitment to her. Some good friends of ours were married the previous summer before us. They were married by a native chief on an island in a...

What are these risks? Losing some money? Losing the house? Losing some other material sh!t thats only real value is a number behind a dollar sign? If you only find happiness and fulfilment in a pile of money, a fancy house, a car, a boat or some other material crap then that's probably a...

Yes she still would be all of those things. I absolutely did not NEED to marry her. I did so because I wanted to. Our relationship really isn't any different than how it was before we got married. If she starts acting up and things aren't going well I will leave her. She knows it. No...

Yes very true. However some of those kayaks do make it across the ocean and it is those people who really achieve something great. I'd rather be the guy on that kayak trying, rather than the guy standing on the shore shouting "Don't do it! Look what happened to me." One of those guys is...

I don't really talk much about my wife or marriage around here because it seems like such a losing battle with this crew. My wife is fvckin' awesome! She's super intelligent, sexy, and fun to be around. Nothing is perfect but she makes me happy far more than miserable. If some time in the...

Great post backbreaker. You continue to impress.

Green dots? I don't get it??? Sorry if I insulted anyone. I just find when people tell me about their tattoos they do it in a way that it somehow gives them strength or pride or there is some deep meaning that needs to be expressed.

Sure because most married men aren't happy for the same reasons I listed previously. (Despite the length of the marriage) Like Tom Swift said they may have been together for 50 years and miserable for 30. The grass is always greener for everyone. Some of those old married couples who...

True, but I was meaning try to take advice from people who are happy, positive and successful in their relationships rather than bitter, negative failures. Usually there are two people to blame in any failed relationship. Usually each person blames the other and takes none of the...

You seem like a good guy with a good attitude. The others have said what needs to be said so I won't go there. Something I see in your future. You'll be out with some new girl and this "ex" will find out about it or even run into you somewhere. That is when you really have to be strong...

I'm not a fan personally. Especially on attractive women. Ugly people, who cares. I just can't imagine any image EVER meaning enough to me that I would need it to be permanently stamped on my body. Maybe someday but I doubt it. You know how sometimes you encounter someone who tells you that...

Some reasons why marriage gets such a bad rap. 1. Finding a woman worthy of marriage today is VERY difficult. 2. Most men don't know how to handle women at all. 3. This means that the majority of marriages are made up of unknowledgeable men marrying the wrong women. No wonder so...

You let her disrespect you from the get go by allowing her to use you for money. You can't expect much from her if you don't even respect yourself. You can't force her (or any girl) to act like a better gf. You can't TELL them how to act either. If you want them to act a certain way then...
