2X. WWW.NoMarriage.com. If you insist on going down the aisle, get a pre-nup and make sure you both have your own attorneys for the paperwork. I didn't know what true happiness was until I got married, then it was too late!!!

Good site:

"When we were changing for the reception after the wedding and I tried to kiss her (and after 3 years of mind-bending sex), my wife of 45 minutes said "No more of that. We're married now."

Zemina and I met in Jan. 1970, got married the SAME year in November and have been happily in love for over 39 years!!

Why do people living in the Western world feel so insecure about marriage?

Maybe, but the head wax must set you back a fortune.

OP- Nah, haven't been divorced. Only married the ball and chain a couple of years ago. We've been together coming up on 12 years. No rug rats together. None for me. She has two from a previous marriage.

Yeah, I love the old lady.

Will it end one day? Yeah, probably.

I'm okay with that. It's a good run while it lasts.

It's life, bro. Live it.

What do your friends and family think?

People often overlook that.... Especially in western cultures.

For me, my friends all knew it was right too. And my family loves her.

But I have another friend and we can't wait till they get divorced so we get him back. And the wedding hasn't even occurred yet. lol that sounds mean doesn't it....

Still in the end it's up to you. If you are uncomfortable with the thought of being married just think of how uncomfortable it will to be married. Be honest with yourself or you can't be honest to her.

Well, she is 26 and wants to get officially married. Why? You going to have kids? Is she scared you are going to leave? Talk to her about what marriage means to her. For that matter what does marriage mean to you? If you guys both have the same definition and both want to have that then go for it. If she is wanting to get married b/c she is 26 and feels the time is right, then no dice. Get married b/c you want to, not by ultimatum. Good luck buddy!!!!!

Funny, Just about all me relationships last about 3 years too, when it usually comes down to decision time. I always walked with no real regrets, of course sometimes you think the grass is greener on the other side, but overall I'm happy.
Like some one said before, If you do go ahead with marriage, get a PRE-NUP. If the two of you can't decide how things should be split when you get along, imagine what it would be like when you hate each other!

What are her qualities? Is she a good cook? Good credit? Nympho in bed? Make sure you know her well enough before you make any decision!

Love is blind...marraige is the eye opener! My advice is don't do it! When she says either we get married or I walk...it's a real bad sign. That in and of itself should tell you to run. Listen to your instincts. Humans are the only animals that ignore them. If your instincts tell you to run...then RUN! You say you love her. Don't worry you will love sombody else too! That ultimatum thing should be the deal breaker.

Well, I'll tell you.

I left one gal I had been with, off and on, for 15 years, to be with my old lady 12 years ago. No, not at the altar or anything, just left her.

I have no regrets and I'd do it all again, if I had to.

Life is too short to have regrets. They'll kill you in the end.

Remember, divorce is always a possibility, never a certainty.

Marriage - no advice here. I am still married to the same guy after 23 years. My kids and I are better off with him than without him, and I think he feels the same. As long as I can believe that, we're in it for the long haul.

I'll have my 20 years in 2 months time. After all these years, it's not just physical anymore. The companionship, friendship, and feelings all lump together in one package.
Do you see these in your relationship? If so, then it's good enough.
Besides, if you know 50% of everything you own will be hers in a divorce, will you test it? not for me

No divorce yet and no marriage either.

The reason is I always get the last words and it use to be: Of course darling.

Well, I have been married twice before and I am now engaged now to my Miss Jody. I've learned many things along the years and hope all those experiences will bode well for my number three. They say, the third times a charm!

I was engaged, and got unengaged 4 months out from the wedding. I say that if you think you'll be miserable without her, there's nothing stopping you from popping the question. If anything it buys you at least an extra year!

I would rather have a stick stuck in my eye than be married.

I have too many friends whose ex-wives are living in beautiful houses my friend's bought with thier new boyfriend while new boyfirend rides thier once Harley. Blaaaaah. Meanwhile my friends are living in studio apartments, eating food out of cans, paying buttloads of money in alimony and child support while seeing thier kids four times a month. More of my friends are divorced/unhappily married than happily married. I'll pass. Thank you very much.

If you have to do it. I have but one thing to say. Pre-nup!!!

Don't ever let her quit her job. You'll get hosed in the divorce proceedings.


and remember this...

Women worry about money until they get married, then they don't.

Men never worry about money until they get married, then they do.

I know, I know... I am a ray of bright sunshine.
