You'll probably wind up going through a divorce or face a lifetime of sexless unhappiness and bickering

Or worse, children.

One of my professors in college has 5 kids, and he and I were talking down in the cafeteria a couple weeks back when the pope was in NY. We did some courtesy talk and before we knew it, the pope topic came up. Long story short, he was telling me that if he was the pope, he'd start a huge anti-conceptive campaign 'cause ppl are having too many kids.

The sad thing is that, statistically, Neon is correct.

If a bear rapes his wife in the woods, does she call a support hotline?

Reproduction is the single greatest tool to help us win the culture war. You can fill the ranks faster with indoctrination than persuasion. Go get 'em boys.

Bickering is a given, no matter what.
My girlfriend (2 1/2 years) bickers with me ALL THE TIME...but yet we still make love ALOT!!! Always on the weekends, sometimes 3 times a day.
Ok, ok...too much info.
There's WAY more to a relationship than sex...but it helps out a great deal.
Just being with someone can be a wonderfully great feeling, then again, you might feel like to want to choke that person to death within the next minute.

In other words, you have to take both the good, as well as the bad for things to work out. Still, things can prove quite difficult.
Being married and finding out things aren't working out sucks, because then it can really cost you. Y'know, she can get half of all your shit. That means house,car,video games, etc.etc. Hell, even half of your retirement!!! Yes, its true.

I would have married by now...but things aren't "picture perfect" enough to convince me. I think my girlfriend and I are simply "fuck buddies". Yea, we care alot about each other, but yet, after a while, we cant stand one another.
Personally...I feel its mostly her fault, because she's too bossy,critical,jealous,bitchy,bi-polar,etc.etc.
Getting the point?

Don't get married unless you know 100 percent without a doubt things are wonderfull. Because if they kinda suck sometimes, marriage won't make things better.

I want to get married soon (my lady probably does not realise this) but I am in no financial position to do so (she is probably well aware of this).

My marriage cost me years of committment to get $50k in debt and i'll probably never see my son again since I'm back in the UK and don't talk to him anymore. I'd still go through marriage again though. Women are like shmups, they all look the same but their nothing alike.

I was thinking women are like Raizing shmups, where sometimes you have to allow yourself to be destroyed to lower rank.

Women are like shmups. If they seem too hard and not much fun it's because you don't understand them.

trivial · Post by **trivial** » Wed May 14, 2008 8:03 am

Understanding, eh? As in knowledge, or are you talking about reaching an understanding you can't refuse?

A shmup beckons, a wife calls you to her beck. Or something similarly Heideggerian, where you shell out to dwell in the host interface.

if a bear rapes your wife in the woods and no ones around to hear it does it make a sound?

ovbiousley it does becuase both your wife and your bear have ears, but still. . . . think about it!

Sexless? When you're married, you pretty much get sex when you want it. I'm more attracted to my wife now than when we first went out 15 years ago, so this just sounds stupid to me.

Unhappy? Will you be less unhappy all by yourself? Good luck with that.

Bickering? You have to learn how to work through things without all the drama. Sometimes a lack of intelligence or some sort of deep incompatibility is going to get in the way. That's sad. Sometimes going to couples therapy can help.

Where I live in the middle of America in a small town most people are married and divorce rates are very low. People seem basically happy. The main person here that seems unhappy is my friend who is 40 and unmarried.

Having kids is a huge chore, so if you're lazy you may want to think twice. In the usual case you will end up with something you care about more than yourself, though, so the sacrifices become reasonable.

Considering that there's only one person now that can make you feel unhappy instead of 2 that's a 50% win.

People who get kids just because or because everyone is having them should be vaporised.
People seem to get kids just like getting a new console. It's so nice to have, in the beginning. Then they fuck 'm up and we're left with serial killers and the like.
You get a kid and lose your own life. Period !
Your own life comes second as soon as the kid arrives.
If you can't cope with that then don't get kids.
If you end up with something you don't care more about then yourself it's your own fault and only yours.

I will be aquiring a baby next week. My wife is very pro-arcade-cab-in-the-house-making-lots-of-shooting-noises.

I can't wait for him to grow up some so he can play.

Look at the little guy:

Heh

I've married in february. Well, actually not married yet, but we've been living together. We have been in a relationship for like 5 years now. Yes, there are some hard times and stuff, but the good times are more often than the bad ones.

I can't complain about the married life so far. And I have to say I have a good relationship with her, I see other couples around me, and I easily notice me and her have something different, we talk a lot more about ourselves, we know each one needs their own space, so she doesn't mind me doing stuff by my own (She has no interest in games, but she's interested in stuff I am not that interested). Everything is very fine so far.

And if you make one step wrong (even the smallest one) they punish you like fuck. Do not even get me started about there 2nd loop (thats after you have been with them for a year) thats just brutal

hey not all girls are attention whore bitches who decide they want to "fix" you after becoming your girlfriend/fianceé/wife, snap at you for the slightest transgression, expect you to tell little white lies to make them feel better (then bitch at you for lying) banish all of your friends, spend all your money etc etc

just most of them

...I read this phrase on the internet once—"Marry your best friend."

It's pretty true. It is not enough to love someone. You need to LIKE them as well. You can't be afraid or avoid talking to them about something because they won't "understand" or "don't like it". You need to know and respect their likes, dislikes, strengths and weaknesses, their personality quirks. If they're not your best friend, or one of your best friends...don't marry them. If you can't LIVE with them...don't marry them. Shatterhand and Twitchdoctor seem to have this down.

And if becoming their best friend is impossible, end the marriage/engagement/relationship. If I didn't consider my fiancé to be one of my best friends, I would have told him no (or much more likely, broken up with him before our relationship got that serious)

...but i'm still making him sign a prenup because if he thinks he's ganking half my shit and leaving me with half his college loans, he's in for one hell of a surprise lololol

also UFO's professor totally needs to become the pope NOW

I'm never getting married. Every couple I know is miserable and the rest you can tell they just by looking at them. I'd rather be alone and miserable than married and miserable. Then, I wouldn't have to deal with nagging, reality TV, and listen how romantic other girls boyfriend's are.
