Even if it ends, I don't see how it's a waste. Regardless of who you're with, most folk, I imagine, are going to be spending time with people they like, love, care about. Having a good time, imo, should be a part of it. Now, as far as who gets the financial shaft goes, it dependents on the couple. Two people with solid careers are going to have fewer issues than those that have income disparity in the marriage. There are all kinds approaches to marriage.

On second thought, it's not as if men are so virtuous that they wouldn't try to get out of ticket if they could.

F-L-A-K-E. Nice job at trying to switch to victim mode there. Own up to it and don't blame the cop for coming on to you. You know as well as I do that you could have just asked for the ticket. If a guy were to say "but I had no choice I was trapped" you would call him spineless, among other derogatory pejoratives.

No - but it does lead to a happier life. There are lots of things in my life that haven't been wonderful. There are things now that could be better. But I don't dwell on them. I deal with it and move on. I'm grateful for what I do have. And yes - I'm really lucky - what I do have is quite amazing. But I also try not to let the bad stuff get me down. We only have one life to live - why spend it being upset about things we can't control.

I've just never met anyone who is so proud of and enjoys living in such negativity and loves spreading it as much as often as possible. Everyone gets burnt darling - you didn't patent it.

I don't see where anyone is 'proud' and 'enjoys' living in negativity. those are your assessments. to me i just live and if i thought there was so much to life i would probably have said it by now so obviously i don't think much of it. if you do, then thats your buisness.

i don't care about spreading anything one way or the other.

I think one of the reasons that my life is amazing is because I haven't dwelled on the bad stuff and I've chosen to see the good things in life. Part of it may be luck - but I've worked for this life.

i understand you had a good time while the whole thing was working out, going good. i said it was a waste b/c u carried on with that person try to build a life and it all goes down the toilet. IMO that's a waste of time, had of known that, probably wouldn't have started it in the first place. now the person have to run around picking up pieces. i see a lot of single mother struggling not single fathers. so imo they make out like fat cats.

but no point in trying to say any of this again b/c people want to talk about their sunny situations and don't want to hear nothing else that affects their world. since it look good to them, they get pissed off when everyone else's picture is not painted the same. goodnite.
