No thanks. I've been in at least one serious relationship and that's more than enough for me.
The only time in my life when I felt truly content and at ease with myself was when I was single.
I've procreated, so I've done the bare minimum to contribute to the future of the species...

I'm not against it, but it isn't a pressing concern.

In June my husband and I will be married 63 years. Yeah I know it seems like a long time, I don't know where all those years in between went. How did I get so old so fast? So obviously I checked something else because I favor marriage, but I'm also OK with folks who don't. Congratulations!

I think that's a good point. I have a huge family (over 300 people). And we're very close. So I have the support system. But more and more, big families are less common. I have less than a dozen relatives. You are lucky Yes, I agree. I'm extremely fortunate. |

I think marriage is a beautiful, sacred commitment. I've known couples throughout my career who really went the distance. They stated together because they wanted to, not because they had. They were those spouses that happily hung out in the nursing home day in and day out. They were there because that's where their home was, because home wasn't a place, but a person, the person who knew the bad as well as the good and accepted them anyway. There was a psychological intimacy that transcended the physical. Old, sick, ugly, whatever, that person was home, and home is where the heart is.
I adore my ex but that intimacy wasn't there. I married him because he's really a good guy, but it wasn't enough. If I ever found that I'd marry again, but it isn't especially important to the relationship IMO. That kind of true connection is not easy to come by though.

She really did a number on you. she was nothing like you sweetheart, and I mean that in a good way its really almost not personal once lawyers get involved it becomes a Pinanha feeding frenzy on the male corpse they educate the woman (typically, statistically, its the woman) on everything they can get so I say to anyone wanting to marry: hide the $$ before you marry, hide the $$ while you are married, put things in other peoples names, vehicles, property, and just borrow it from them, lend $$ to family, let them use that $$ to buy gold, silver,etc. and put it in a safety deposit box, family never repay $$ right? protect yur own ass |

Never wanted to get married. Hated the concept. After a few relationships that ended badly, met a girl. Told her in the beginning I never wanted to get married. 3 years in she starts talking about it. 4 years in she really starts to drop hints. I explain why I don't. 5 years in she proposes to me. I say no. We break up. 2 weeks later we get back together and she proposes again. I stupidly agree. We get married 3 weeks later. 6 months later she wants a divorce.
I'm an idiot.

Everybody keeps what they had before the marriage. And everything accrued after the marriage is divided 50/50. |
