I've had my gf's doctor be shitty to me so I just want the marriage paperwork/lawsuit fodder if anything goes wrong lol

I never conceptualized getting married aside from like, when i was 5 and thought I was straight/that everyone gets married

yeah but i wouldn't want to bring a child into "as long as we are happy."

it's a family thing to me. no one in my family had a successful marriage, it sucks being a single mother, it sucks dating while being a single mother, it sucks having a person around that you really can't stand because of the kid.

i've been in long term relationships too. but they're not like marriage imo.

lots of people just aren't getting marriaed at all anymore

either bc of all the legal stuff it's tied up with or bc of its cultural value as a status symbol

cultural/sentimental reasons

i might get married if there was a prenup and an expiration with option to renew

(Anonymous) 2013-09-01 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
man all these women on that forum calling themselves girls or saying it's inspiring to wait on a dude who you don't want to get married to, to say he wants to get married.. damn this is depressing. stop waiting to exhale, jesus.

like who doesn't talk to their partner about what they are expecting? even in a ldr, at what point are you going to start just dropping hints about marriage bc u didn't talk about it during the dating phase. 1yr is like hell naw, and 2 yrs is like he'd better say something even tho i'm not ready??

i would have a "we're totes committed" party and accept presents. no way would i get legally married unless i had a fucking good reason

My character has an extremelly bad imunological system, a condition he apparently inherited from his mother. I wanted a chronic illness for him to have other than his poor imunological system, or maybe even an chronic condition that explained his poor imunological system, but I don't know what it could be.

I searched for a couple of things, but I was confused. I'd like something that could be treated with medicine\vitamins. Bonus if the disease causes him to be physically tired

(Anonymous) 2013-09-01 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
stuff changes. besides legal issues and cultural raisins. i sorta h8 the ppl who are all "well they can't leave you so easily." that's not rlly a good reason to want to marry

i know there's always all this pressure on women not to nag their bfs about their relationship or w/e but you'll never get anything done if you can't communicate and he can't either. like having a deal breaker and enforcing one are two different planets

(Anonymous) 2013-09-01 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
how does being married protect you from any of this:

yeah but i wouldn't want to bring a child into "as long as we are happy."

it's a family thing to me. no one in my family had a successful marriage, it sucks being a single mother, it sucks dating while being a single mother, it sucks having a person around that you really can't stand because of the kid.


even the poster says none of her married family stayed together

avoid a worse breakup and don't get legally entangled in the first place

(Anonymous) 2013-09-01 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
that's fine for them, i know a couple who's not.

but in any case, you should be able to talk about your expectations for the relationship. if someone says, "i don't know." it's a bad sign.
