[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"out of wedlock" lol. What is this, 1958?

My DH and I were together for 14 years before we got married. He was divorced (no kids, and no big terrible story -- just figured out they wanted different lives) and just didn't feel the need to do it again. I didn't feel strongly about it one way or the other. At some point we changed our minds and got married, just the two of us on a beach in Hawaii. We lived together for about 10 years before getting married, and 5 of them were in a house we bought together. We don't have kids.

It's 2024. People aren't feeling the need to have the state rubber-stamp their relationship. [/quote]

You don’t have kids so you can’t understand a person who wants to have kids. Most women would want a commitment from the man.[/quote]

Honestly, is marriage “a commitment” these days any more than cohabitation? [/quote]

Actually it is. You stand in front of your family and friends and exchange vows to spend the rest of your life together. You are becoming one another’s family. You are legally married.

I used to think it didn’t really matter. Now that I am older I understand the financial aspect of marriage, the status of being married. It is very different than just being a girlfriend or partner.[b] I know in our circles, we don’t take girlfriends as serious as wives. [/b]The guys may bring a new girlfriend around every year or so. Very different when it is a wife.[/quote]
Well yeah, you’re a kunt. Of course you look down on others.[/quote]

Wow, you seem very upset [b]by a not big deal comment[/b]. We are in our mid forties. We have been together for over 20 years. We have teen kids and most of our friends have been married for 10-20 years. Our colleagues are all married. The very few who are not or are divorced may being a girlfriend to a holiday party or birthday occasionally. If we never see her again because they broke up or the coworker never brings her again, we can’t get to know her. The wives we see for decades. [/quote]
We see your character. And now you’re backpedaling from your original comment. [/quote]

I’m not backpedaling at all. If my divorced girlfriend has a new guy, I don’t take him seriously either. I am not really interested in hanging out for someone who may only be in her life for a few months. You only have so much time.

My BIL is single. We used to meet his girlfriends over the years. Now I’m not so interested. He seems to have a serious girlfriend now. He has a few girlfriends per year.[/quote]

Yaas queen! Stand in your ignorance!   [/quote]
