No. In a relationship and it's damn hard sometimes. We both communicate and try to work through our issues though.

I've been around enough people in and out of marriages though. Most of my friends are still married.

I also used to be one of the girls that liked douchebags. Lol

The fact that the majority of people can't be faithful or have terrible decision making skills is not an indictment of marriage. You do it right, there is nothing more wonderful than waking up everyday next to a beautiful woman who loves you and amazing kids.

It may be hard for some people to understand, but when you find a legitimately good woman, other people see physical flaws that you don't. Shocking I know.

Those love goggles are strong. I just ended things with a girl that I fell head over heels for. My friends asked me why her, cause I had dated much hotter females than she was. To me, she was the most gorgeous creature on this earth.

It was amazing how many people told me my wife wasn't the right woman to marry, and all those people have either been through bad marriages or are in current terrible situations.

Letting society influence your decision is a hideous thing to do. People make mistakes. You may think it's love and get it wrong, but I'll go with its better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all.

All these 20 / 30 year olds loving the single life are going to discover how miserable 60 and no family really is. Hope you had enough fun at 20, 30, and 40 to fill those lonely twilight year nights.

That's for damn sure. I've only been in love once. When we first met and started dating, I was kinda picky about certain little things. After I got the real strong feelings it's like they disappeared and this girl was perfect. After we broke up (and it wasn't really on the best of terms) all my friends and family (including my sweet old aunt who is a saint) pointed out all these things about her and I was like "oh yeah, I see that now"

Yea had to grow up sometime

I just find it so funny that people on here think "oh yes when I'm 40, I'll be pulling in girls in their 20s." Half the time those girls just want your money. When I see those guys and meet them at bars, I'm like eww, fool you are so fricking old! Thanks for the drink though. Bye Felicia! - me at 25. Lol

People aren't perfect. It's always easy to find a flaw if you're looking for one.

We're not meant to be alone. I was one that played the hard @ss for a while. Now I don't see any need in pretending that I don't want a family.

Spot on man. My best friends tell me this all the time. They are proud of me for my last relationship because I gave it a chance. Lasted a year too. Much more than any of them expected.

exactly nobody is perfect. people spend way too much time trying to find the perfect (Easy) fit for them instead of finding someone and working on a relationship.

I don't know why anyone would get married if they didn't want kids

If you don't want kids, don't get married

if you want kids, its probably best to get married

just my opinion

i agree with this for the most part. i think that i could make kids work outside of marriage (and i may), but marriage to me is a process for kids

I dated my wife for 6 years before we got married. People would always say stupid shite like "whats taking you so long." "There has to be some issues going on." It was so ridiculous.
I've been dating my gf for almost 4 years and this is annoying as frick.
