Well, I like the idea. Then when she wants it over you just get the paperwork out and seperate the stuff.
I like it.
I think it should be the law. That way, nobody feels pressured and the savings in courts and lawyers would be enormous. Money better spent on the children or in their absence, the future.
I thought one of my sisters took the wrong tack by moving in with this one guy several years ago. Got to the point she did all the housekeeping, laundry, cooking, managing finances, paying a lot of the bills, caring for the dog, etc.
Its sad but for many women, this is their main hope for marriage. If they are "lucky" enough to land him, they'll have regrets very soon.
I think there are many women who are wired that way. They want it first, but are first to be unhappy. The wedding itself is a girl thing, the marriage is a couple's responsibility. I think men settle in quicker into the marriage, while women keep wanting change, better jobs, kids, bigger house, etc. I don't think marriage is necessary, unless you want children or you both want that commitment completely. Just my opinion, but I have been through it a few times, of course maybe with the wrong person?
As long as women insist on the superficial qualities in a man and expect that marriage will magically deliver the important attributes required for a successful marriage, the divorce rate will hover around 50%. And that doesn't include those unhappy in their marriage who do not end it for various reasons.
My mother always says to me - "why would you expect the man to marry you? you already give him all he wants (friendship and sex), so why do you expect him to ruin a good thing? "
You can tell shes Irish, nagging till the last.
I think its bull to say some men arent the marrying type, there not the marrying type because there getting everything they want - sex on tap, while keeping their options open. Giving half the chance most men would!
What if we're in a committed relationship and plan to spend the rest of our lives together whether married or not? Though some may not understand it, my SO and I are very happy, and neither of us are going anywhere, ring on my finger or no ring (well, he did give me a ring, but that's another story). We do not want to do the whole "ceremony" thing, and we are definitely committed for the rest of our lives. As the female in our relationship, I am just not the type to sit around pining away to be husband and wife. I'm happy, we're content, just as we are, being partners in every sense; as is he. Even my mother understands this, and pretty much gave us the same "commitment" gift that she gave my sister and BIL as a "wedding" gift.
That's crazy!
Why do gay people want to get married???
They want the benefits of marriage. The taxes the retirement benefits and such. It is just a complicated thing.
You are the reason they made "common law marriage."
I would never get married again. Ever. Personally, I just want to go out and "get a little sausage" by whichever "pig" strikes my fancy whenever I want it. I can support myself, buy my own houses, buy my own cars, my own clothes, vacations, whatever. I am perfectly happy with my own company. I complete myself. I am my own best soulmate.
my ex always did opposite of what i asked, i begged her not to divorce me.
Hilarious!!
Hmmm? I should try that..

Not so fast. I filed...but HE is the one that wanted the divorce. I filed because HE couldn't afford to. 
So cut that "involuntary" nonsense.
