I'm thinking he will probly treat her right. it's just his negitive views on life and other things in general, and I don't want that attitude dragging her down. . . . . . . . . I think marrige might be the same as Chinese water tourture (hear me out on this one). saw this on myth busters"... ya got two people, each in a chair, each also have small amounts of water dripping on them. The only difference is one person is strapped down, and the other isn't. the one that is strapped down freaks out and starts panicking because there is no control over her peril. she is Strapped in(married) and can't do very much about the water dripping on her. person#2 is free to move away from the dripping water, however the drip doesn't bother the person because #2 knows he can move away if it starts to bother him.

Unless it is part of religious beliefs, I have never understood why anyone else would find the need to have the state recognize and affirm their love for each other.

"Baby, I'd get married, but that would be like Chinese water torture..." I'm sure that analogy would go over well.
yupp!! when you get married the drip starts,everything will be ok at first, almost pleasent even,... after bout 3 years yer like, ah ha ha ha ha!(woody wood pecker noise) I'm totally joking.... marrage is prolly only torture if you get married too early and don't use comon sence....... what if....... I bet a decent marrige is more like years of chinease water tourture cept at 10pm they swich off the water, turn it into whisky, and yer wife comes in the room to take off yer shoes and massages yer feet, lights a big Spleefer and puts it in yer mouth for you, and then proceeds to give you oral till dawn breaks. hehehehehe

I base my beliefs pertaining to almost everything on science. I can get into all the chillingly garbage about how we're not monogamous creatures, and love can be attributed to psychological attachment. I wont, because the concept of love is one of the few things in my mind that are worth putting some faith into. Whats more beautiful in this world than the concept of love? nothing.
Like I said, people get married for the wrong reasons way too much. If you make a wise mutual decision after a few years of being together then I think its fine. In the latter scenario the water torture idea doesn't apply as much.

yea marriage is serious and if u don't treat it as such your bound for failure. My friend says she must be married by age 26!! I'm like wtf kind of crap if that. it's that type of thinking that gets u in the torture chair ...
I used to be all for marriage, it was like my life dream and all that, but these days I could care less about it. all tho it would be nice to have a warm body to snuggle up to at night every once in awhile, I know I'm doing a damn good job with just me, my daughter and my son. Eventually, someday, years and years from now I hope to meet someone, (hopefully another roo nut so I don't have to break anyone in when I'm 40 ;D), who will change my opinion and make me want to get married but until then i'm content.... When that happens tho, i think i'll want a small wedding with a killer RV honeymoon that starts with bonnaroo and hits all the other major fests of the summer!!

See, I like to hear things like that. Its also extremely sweet. This is exactly what Im talking about. Maybe things went sour the first time, but now you realize that marriage can work if you find the right person. And no rush in that. My Mother is my idol. She was a house wife for 19 years. After divorcing my father she decided not to take the house and set out on her own with my sister and I. Now 8 years later she has completed her masters from Fordham university and is managing a string of banks for Citibank. I never knew my Mother could be such an ambitious buisness women. She is a very empowering figure in my life which is why it kills me to see women take a helpless victim role. Women are strong and shouldnt feel the need to have a man around to make them feel good. We're all beautiful creatures, we all need to figure that out before we are concerned with others.

love is such a wonderful thing. so why limit it to one person?? i know there are health concerns and whatnots now a days. but being safe helps out with that. but why can we only love one person for life? why is sex always directly connected to love? i have tried the serious monogamous relationship thing and it drove me nuts. couldnt take it. im more of a lets have a great time and become friends for life type of person. one person for the rest of your life seems silly. i cant imagine being happy with that. not on a sex level but on almost every level. ive met people i can be friends with my whole life. i havent met anyone(outside of my son) that i want to spend every moment of the rest of my life with some type of responisibility or debt to them to do certain things and be certain places, etc... or wants you to change your lifestyle and ambitions to fit more into the "us' scenario. just not for me. 2 people might be in the same place in 2007, but come 2012 they will probably not be the same people at all. why make a commitment forever? not that marriage is that way anymore. just get divorced and try again. but who wants that? seems pretty meaningless. and there are lots of people who say screw all the nonsense. i will have fun with you while its fun and when it isnt fun we will both go find some fun. its not being whorish. or treating anyone with a lack of respect. just saying lets skip the months of torture involved in getting tired of eachother and having it ultimately become something that ruins a friendship completely. we evlolved as nomadic people. now we want to settle down. spend everyday doing the same thing with the same person in the same place. just dosent seem natural to me. i can see having a commited relationship with one person. and i think it is a good thing. but to make a life long commitent to that seems extreme. for me personally im not against getting involved in a serious relationship. but not a life time commitment. it may work out to be a lifetime comitment if its the right person. but to assume you know that you will be compatabile for life is crazy.

Maybe I'll throw myself to the dogs, but my back's not to the wall Maybe I'll lay some bricks for the man, but the days just aren't that long So if I settle back and chill will I see far enough to feel the angel's dream? I thought it was the Story of the World!

I totally agree, i think that the main reason my past relationships haven't worked is because i wasn't happy being me and was relying on other people for my happiness. Once I realized that I wasn't going to be happy with anyone else until I was happy with myself and who i was, things got way better!!
