[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my gosh, can we skip the alluding to the archaic idea that women are breeders and marriage is for securing the blood line?

People can get married if they want to. Some people can’t have kids or don’t want them. That’s okay.

Next time you decided you are entitled to know why someone doesn’t have kids, STOP and consider that you might be bringing up a distressing topic for them.

Actually marriage is an archaic institution. People would get married for religious reasons, for economic reasons, for perpetuating the blood line. 
No one here asked PP why she does not have kids. The question was why get married at all and go through such hassle at the age of 40+. Presumably they are having sex already so the religious reason does not apply, and she has her own money, hence the question about the mingling of funds, so she does not have to marry the guy of his money, and them having kids is not in the picture. She answered she was in love, fair enough reason I suppose, but then inexplicably she got all pissy.[/quote]
