Poll: Do you want to get married?

[mjc0961]

Nope. What's the point? It doesn't keep you together: you do that yourself. Married people split up all the time, and then it's just messier because they got married first. Whereas if you don't get married and then things don't work out for whatever reason, you just go your separate ways without all the bullshit. So forget marriage; it doesn't do anything for me and I don't need it.

I think marriage is a great expression of a persons commitment to their significant other, but that is quite axiomatic. I probably wont get married unfortunately, considering I cant talk to women, and I am also so invested in my work and studies. But the question remains, if I could would I? Well if my partner wanted to get married then I would feel obliged, but the statistics about divorce are quite alarming. Argh, so many things to consider, too many variables.... I think I would.

 

[Bara_no_Hime]

we all know the up and downs of marriage. do you want to be in that? personally i don't.

You know, you should add an option for those of us who are already happily married.

... of course, if you do so, I won't be able to use it since I already voted "yes" (since I wanted to get married, so I did so).

 

[Ghaleon640]

Yeah, I'm hoping to marry a nice girl one day and have some kids. I'm worried about when or if it will happen, but I'm in college. No rush.

 

[v3n0mat3]

I was engaged once. Didn't turn out well for us. I still want to get married, though.

 

[SirDeadly]

I'd like to get married later on if I can find a woman that I truly love.

 

[Lilani]

I'd love to, once I find that right guy. I've never liked the idea of spending the rest of your life with a boyfriend. The way I see it, the girlfriend/boyfriend status is only temporary. In due time, you either go all the way or you break it off. It's that simple. I don't see it as the "final stop" in a relationship.

To me, staying boyfriend/girlfriend for the rest of your days would feel like riding a bike with the training wheels on and never bothering to take them off--even when you know you'd do just fine without them. In the end, you're just holding yourself back from the fear of wiping out.

 

[Raiha]

well the first time didn't exactly leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling toward the institution of marriage. i don't think i'll be leaping into another marriage anytime soon.

 

[Mrselfdestruct]

I don't see the need.
And wedding days look so pretentious...

 

[Neo10101]

usually its easier to share a life, plus makes having kids easier if you want them, which I do, just gotta get lucky and find someone who actually likes me and I like them and can get past all the bs and chips of life. It seems like everyone nowadays doesn't give a fuck about anything or anyone and all they want is to act one way and do something else. You cant tell what anyone truly wants anymore. Hell, getting married would be nice, but if we all blinked out of existence before it, I guess I wouldn't mind that either.

 

[crudus]

I have always found marriage stupid. Nothing changes between dating, engagement, and marriage(well, things do change but not because of those imaginary lines). I still would like some sort of companion equal to a wife.

 

[jackpipsam]

I would really hope so

 

[SodaDew]

Of course I plan on getting married... who knows when xD

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

I have been married now for 3 years, we've got a 3 month old, and have a ton of fun together. Marrying your best friend makes the whole marriage thing simpler.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

Me being an engineer, I learn from mistakes and miss no opportunity to improve something. Sounds like a plan. I've seen enough ones go bad to be discouraged, but I don't. I know what went wrong. I know how not to go wrong.

 

[Cain_Zeros]

I'd like to at some point. It'll definitely be awhile, though.

 

[Antitonic]

I think I'd only get married as a rent-share agreement, and tax benefits.

 

[Klagermeister]

I do wanna get married, but only to the right person. And I felt like I have now found that person.

My ex-girlfriend was with me for 2 years. She and I had always talked seriously about the day I'd propose to her, and I felt like that's what we wanted. We had a daughter together. She chose to take the child to Germany for five years, and those five years started last week. It wasn't until then that I realized she was manipulating me and playing with my feelings. Hell, she even told me she got pregnant on purpose just to make sure I'd stay with her.
Lesson for the kids: if you don't really feel like the relationship you have is really what you want, tell the person before it's too late.

On the plus side, there's this other girl I REEEEEALLY like. She trusts me with all her secrets, she shares all my interests, she's smart, funny, pretty, and a beautiful voice to boot. One look at her and I see a future.
Another life lesson: Wait for the right damn person.

Okay, off the soap box now.

 

[ArchBlade]

Perhaps. The whole getting married thing would entail me finding someone who I would actually wanna spend my life with in the first place, the likes of which is an event that in it's sheer volume of unlikelihood may cause a natural disaster just for it's occurrence.

Also, I'm 16. I got time yet.

 

[Hader]

I might. I might not. Would I want to? Depends. Leaning towards a yes though.

Yes, I am so ambiguous!
