Re: Confessions
sorry i touched a nerve i'm not telling you to get married lolSorry, I jumped the gun with this comment. I just mean ofc I don't advocate marrying just anybody. It's everyone's personal choice whether they want to get married or not. But I just think there's a difference between saying "we could possibly get divorced" and "divorce is INEVITABLE" and the latter just feels really bleak to me. Plus like I said above I just thought the OP was a little funny like, marriage isn't just something that happens to you overnight. I guess what I'm getting at is a lot of people make stupid decisions in getting married but that doesn't make marriage itself a stupid decision.
But like ultimately it's a personal preference and I don't care what people do just thought it was funny.

(Anonymous) 2020-08-26 07:05 am (UTC)(link)I think they're basically saying they're in a relatively good place while single, and they're not interested in spending a lot of time and effort on a gamble that could wreak havoc on their life if it doesn't pan out (and the odds of it not panning out are moderately high).

That's how I feel. I honestly can't think of any benefit to marriage that would be worth risking a potentially horrible outcome.
Re: Confessions
Yeah kind of, I guess? I wasn't trying to quote them directly I was just explaining the mental image I got from their...tone isn't the right word but I'm not sure what the right word is. They didn't say the word "inevitable" but they're speaking as if it is inevitable, does that make sense?
I guess if someone said to me they were single and not looking for anything more I'd just leave it at that. Maybe I just know enough happily unmarried people that I don't see it as something that needs to be confessed or explained. Like, meh, marriage isn't a goal for you. I guess I'm just coming from a different place than OP.
I really wasn't trying to start anything and I didn't think anyone would even reply to my comment. Sorry again.
Re: Confessions
(Anonymous) 2020-08-26 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)I am a big romantic and I love the idea of marriage romantically, but having experienced financial hardship already and knowing how hard it is to recover from, I'm not willing to be someone's for richer or poorer person and let my life be dictated by their choices, good or bad.
