You could do that.
But that would be stupid.

But the thing is, it isn’t stupid. People do things like this everyday because of “LOVE”.
Then they fight, suddenly hate each other and she ends up on The View telling all of your deep dark secrets to the world for book rights.
I just find it funny how many married guys seem to think they are “safe” from this.
LOL.
It doesn’t look like ANY of them are.[/quote]
Since my wife is on this forum (JLo) I have no comment on this X.

What if you just don’t get married? I mean, I understand why some of you think like this…we were raised in a society that basically tells us there is something wrong with you if you aren’t married and carrying kids long before 40.
However, it would seem the current generation just now reaching those same ages doesn’t think the same. I have quite a number of associates who some here would call “successful” who would run far away from the idea of marrying someone…much for many of the same reasons I am discussing now.
It is a huge risk unless you really didn’t own shit before meeting her. That’s just a fact…and these comments as if you need to trust her are a little nutty…because I am sure most of the men in divorce court would have told you nothing but how they were soul mates when they first met.
I get why some of you respond the way you do…but it would seem that the response is simply to justify your own actions.
I am asking logically, what is the real benefit of marriage for the guy in the relationship?
I don’t need more spiel about how you don’t matter once you have kids…BECAUSE YOU DO MATTER. Your paycheck matters apparently more than you do if you get divorced and have kids.
Yeah, the system is fucked up…and it won’t be changing any time soon since most of society seems to be filled with white knights and whipped hubbies.[/quote]
X, with all due respect, you just sound paranoid of marriage.
It ain’t all sugar and spice, but it is a commitment. Sometimes it works and for some it doesn’t.
