I would never want to be married, how does being married prove your love their just feelings after all, weddings are just to skin you dry of all your hard earned cash, it aint as if you win a prize or anything, most become divorced anyway, and what you know more skinning away of your hard earned cash. erm no thanks.

I'm in my 30s now and unless I can figure out a way to changes things I'll be punching my own ticket soon.

There is no reason to carry on an existence like this, waiting and aging until the day that an illness strikes and dying because there is noone to help.



Dear one, when I read this I could not not respond.

Everything is workable in this world, everything.

Please seek some help. There is help for you. Don't lose hope!

People find relationships in old age.

You are not hopeless or unlovable, you just need some help to work through your issues.

To ask the obvious at the risk of appearing obtuse - why does she need to know? and why isn't she asking herself? Has she no fingers?

To answer the question - once - for 12 years, and together as CLM for about 4 years before that. So we've been going longer than the average it seems......

Curiosity mainly, She deals with my issues enough and doesn't need to deal with everyone else on here.

For some, marriage is a public declaration of intent. All the trappings of weddings are fluff for those that consider marriage a fundamental commitment to a relationship.
