How much did you 'settle' for marriage?

Most didn't marry their 'soulmate' or even someone they 'couldn't live without'...so what made you jump the broom?

My current SO and I have been together 3 years. Both have had previous marriage and I've always expressed that I'm committed but don't see a reason to get 'married'. Today I was given an ultimatum. Commitment by marriage or she's walking. I don't want to lose her but still stand by my belief.

We're both around 40 so kids aren't a reason. Not sure what good could come from signing a contract. Why can't people just be together and happy?

Why? If it’s not your soulmate keep looking, they’re out there.

We need more apologies around here. This is why everyone on this board is divorced

When the bun appeared in the oven.

I gave a lackluster proposal outside of taco restaurant

"You wanna get married?"

The concept of a one and only "Soulmate" is stupid. Life isn't a Disney movie. The kind of love that lasts takes work no matter what. Even I know that. With that being said, sounds like your predicament is something y'all should've figured out awhile ago. You both should've known where the other stands on marriage

Why the frick would you "settle" just to get married. That's basically putting a neon sign in your front window that your marriage is going to last for less than 5 years.

Definitely, but there are definitely people that you fall in love with though.

You should never get married because of an ultimatum.

Most men's approach to choosing a mate is can I tolerate this woman for the rest of my life?

Also, if she sees this thread, you're dunzo. Anyone with half a brain reading this sees you're unhappy.
