| 634195 | 2008-01-28 21:41:00 | Marriage is an institution where a captive man does not get remission of sentence for good behaviour - to the contrary, the one way to guarantee remission of sentence is bad behaviour - although it may take multiple offences depending on the gaoler and the assets of the man. Saying that I have been married for some 33 years now, in spite of the odd bit of bad behaviour. Reminds me of a TV programme where they were interviewing Lady Reeves. Asked if she had ever considered divorce. She replied "Divorce, never! Murder, often" |

| 634199 | 2008-02-29 04:40:00 | No one said you have to get married to be with someone. Though it does make it harder for them to leave. Metla has a very good point. I was quite happy many years ago to keep dodging the public comittment of a marriage ceremony, while (I realise now) enjoying most of the advantages of a devoted partner, but taking them completely for granted. Then one day it suddenly hit me that he needed the security of being a married man (Yes, it's not only women who have "old-fashioned" standards) & I realised what a huge hole it would make in my life if we split. And maybe another woman who actually wanted marriage could snaffle him, if he gave up trying with me..? That was my crunch point for marriage. I realised he'd become essential to my life. So I guess you could say I made it harder for him to leave. (And I never regretted it in all our years together before he died of cancer in 2005) Edit: Perhaps I should add that he didn't seem to regret it either. |

And that when you meet up with other people of your age provided you are in your 30s or whatever that age is, they say, hey take her/him with you. If someone you get on good with, pops the question that you cannot say no? You could but could you really. Just going via a boss's experience. :D I just know, from my experience that you parent brings it up .. your grandparent brings it up, do does your cousin who got married. Then they move out and mortgage a property. You ever felt of peer pressure? |
