whatever Icanhaz.. Marriage for some people might not work.. for me it works.. and works well. apart from anything else, it means we can be together, given we are from different countries.. so on a practical level its good.
but your whole argument about buying in to social norms etc is just played out .. if you want to get married, do it.. if not, dont.. there is no gun to your head.
but just because whatever your situation is isnt work/didnt work.. your pissing over mine doesnt do anything.
as for following the script, what script? the script that says eloping at the age of 35 and barely having enough money to pay rent .. yep thats a real fucking life goal there .. we did what we did and do what we do because it works for us. not for anyone else.. like i said, we were together for 7 years before we got married, and it to be honest it was kind of a spur of the moment thing.. it wasnt like i had been planning to ask her for months or anything.. i just did one day..
marriage IS awesome. there is a lot of stuff that is hard, and a lot of days where its not so awesome.. but in my instance, at this time, its working pretty well.. this year we will have been married 7 years.. making a total of 14 years together..
as for religion.. pfft.. yep, lol.. whatever. both atheists.. or at best she is agnostic.
- i think if someone needs marriage to validate their love, it isn't really love.iCanHazQBN
- I think what you mean by "marriage is awesome" is "i love being with my partner".iCanHazQBN
- as unit says below, marriage is just legal status.iCanHazQBN
- love grows and fades organically and has nothing to do with a file in a government office.iCanHazQBN
- the whole different country / visa thing is a different issue. if you want to be w/ someone you love and they'r in a different country, then marriage makes obvious sense.iCanHazQBN
- And you're both atheists who gave in to the religious act of marriage. What do religious acts have to do with your godless belief system?..iCanHazQBN
- .. that's what I mean by following the script. If you're an atheist, marriage shouldn't even pertain to you.iCanHazQBN
- LOL whatever.. Marriage is what is it is.. the fact you dont believe in it is none of my concern.. doesnt mean i love my wife any lessautoflavour
- Marriage is an 8 letter word.********
