The manner in which marriage was originally instituted was fine... I suppose, but that was way before my time.
Today? No way!
Never again. Still friends with the EX... always will be. Had two kids, got two grandkids... it's all good. We never fought, we never went to court, kids always came first.
We went our separate ways. I stayed until the kids were old enough to take care of themselves.
As far as entering into another relationship, as in "marriage?" Never. I can't forsee the future, but that seems to be one thing that is as solid as stone in my mind.
I keep all relationships with women right where I want them. As soon as she starts acting out... it's over. I'm not in "deep enough" (no pun intended, [joke on me]) to have any obligations whatsoever, and that is made clear right up front.
Been there, did that. I wouldn't tell a young man to never get married. I would throw out a few warnings in regards to the "choosing" process, but I would really be biased towards "no"... without saying so.
Some people... very few.. have great relationships. There lives seem to be two in one. Not me. I'm not wired that way.
I like the Lone Wolf.
When I see a couple arguing and bickering, which is often, I am so glad I am not answering to anyone.
It's funny though, if women were to chime in on this topic... it would become so heated. And that, in itself would prove my case against marriage.
