[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that some people think that marriage encourages good behavior but my experience was that marriage encouraged laziness in the relationship.  My ex became very entitled and often condescending.  Those behaviors rarely emerged before we tied the knot.  I hear this often from women but I'm a man.

So I doubt I'll remarry.  [/quote]

Why, why get married? Absent religious or a particular personal hang up with the idea……why? You can wear a fancy ring from your partner. You can live together (ideally you each have your own lives but whatever).

Why are people fixated on marriage? The whole, you know, partner aspect seems far less important than I guess being able to tell people I’M MARRIED.

Plus, people my age watched the whole wedding obsession/conspicuous spending/reality tv thing happen before and during the 2008 financial crisis and I’ve got better things to do with money, thank you.

Seems very old fashioned now, and I’m hardly young myself.[/quote]

Because if my partner doesn't want to marry me, I'll always think he/she wants an easy way out if I get sick, need their support when old etc. It's ethical: if you truly commit to someone, and love them - you become relatives, a family. Make your each other's well-being a priority. I wouldn't want to build a home with a man who would dump me if I get a cancer, and just go dating on OLD with minimal regrets in no time.[/quote]
