[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you and your girlfriend work out and make the best decision for you both. But you do seem to be on some kind of odd moral high horse. Everyone else you know seems to have done it “wrong” but you’ve convinced yourself you’re doing it all right. It reeks of insecurity and you might want to address that in either individual or joint therapy. In order to get married and have kids, you’ll have to learn to compromise - a LOT - and think outside of yourself.

You are also 35 and far too worried about what your family and others think. Who cares what anyone else besides the two of you think? You’re fully functional adults. [/quote]

OP here. I never said others have done it wrong. I actually look up to parents marriage. All of my extended family are in happy longterm marriages. I want that for myself, my wife, and my kids. [/quote]

You brought up several examples of friends and colleagues who have all somehow screwed up, whether in financial preparation or in their attitudes about divorce.

I’m so glad I didn’t have parents who convinced me that religion, rather than common sense, should dictate my actions. It’s fine not to not “believe” in divorce but you can’t let fear rule your life. And in this case, you’re hiding behind your religious beliefs selectively. No Catholic I know would live together before marriage. [/quote]
