You wrote Never. I was applying that statement to me too. It meant that I do not have an age set to get married. I don't even see myself getting married.

I have resigned myself to the fact that my life will be the following: living in an apartment in Manhattan, D.C., or some other major city or a house near the beach but working in a major city, with 2 dogs, painting, writing poetry and making jewelry, involved in a series of committed long term relationships that were very happy but came to a peaceful end , attending happy hours, book readings, museums, picking places to travel based on a recent restaurant opening or favorite chef or because, damn it, I love good food & spirits, eating out A LOT w/ friends, and enjoying the best life has to offer.

that'll work till your 36 and all your friends are married. I guess you can still do that with bitter old single women or unfortunate divorcees.
















j/k I don't really see the point of marriage either except kids and man they are a handful I took care of a baby a few weeks ago. unbelievable. I will get married though. I have a friend, both of his brothers are going through shitty divorces. My girlfriend is going to work at a family law firm, he's not even married and my friend said to her "You know that if I ask you to do my divorce you can't represent whoever I marry, I'm asking you right now, you can't represent her." I guess he thought she was smart. Things don't look good for the state of marriage in America though. Not too good. It's too easy to get divorced now, and the social stigma is all but gone.

I got married at 25. It's less than 11 months later and we're already talking about divorce settlements.

That bites, but hey, if its not working out, then why continue to make yourself miserable?

see. listen to raina. seeing her post you'd think her life is all roses and periwinkle. but a good attitude can trump divorce, at least on the outside. sorry about that raina, I know it's for the best though. all this idealism and the truth is

hey who was that other guy? who we were all telling us how stupid he was for getting married at 21, the guys were I mean, and then him and his fiancee just spontaneously blew up their whole relationship.

I tell ya.

I tell ya. I'm so old and wise. I've got 3 grey hairs. that's wisdom.

Exactly. It's sad but we don't want things to get ugly. We want each other to be happy and care about each other a lot. We just make one another miserable. We got married for a lot of wrong reasons. Lots of guilt and pressure. Medical insurance issues. More guilt and pressure.
