bingedrinking Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I don't know..I just don't think marriage is ever going to work for me. It is like Chandler said in Friends "the only person who can make marriage work is Paul Newman. and I am no Paul Newman I just don't think I have the ability, the sexiness or the discipline to keep a woman happy for a long time. It is going to collapse at some point of time. So why even try? What do you think? Reading enotalone and looking around actually kind of scares me. I have finally realized people don't stay the same and they may not have the same feelings a decade later. Infact most marriages collapse within 10 years. So is it a sensible decision to not marry for the rest of my life? I am thinking about vasectomy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because most of society and ENA is hell-bent on getting married, doesnt mean that you have to be. Marriage is not for everyone, just as singlehood is not for everyone.

Roasted Carrots Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Marriage isn't for everyone. Just make sure your partner knows your intentions. And don't back yourself into a corner, either. You never know, you may end up getting married! Chandler did.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batya33 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think it's fine but I don't see the alternative as only "singlehood". You can choose to live with someone, date, adopt a child, or choose none of the above. The options are wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhl282000 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 The National Average for relationships I'm sorry to report is five years. In the past it used to be seven (used to be called the 7 year itch) Many people get married and fail, but in reality they just don't get it right the first time. I love the ones that tell you they have been together for like 40 years ....those people have stuck together ....through thick and thin ...I like that Don't ever say never .....you're ending has not been written you. When the right one comes along you'll know....but it takes work for sure and both people setting goals together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batya33 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 If a person doesn't want to get married then by definition the right one won't "come along" because it's not a passive event, you have to be in the mindset of wanting or at least being open to a commitment so that when you meet someone you're attracted to, interested in, you have that mindset. That person also won't "know" because knowing also means a mindset of wanting commitment. True, many romantic movies are about people who wanted to be alone their whole lives and then boom someone changes all that accross a crowded room. I don't think that's typically how real life works especially when the person affirmatively does not want to marry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
