Woggle Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I fully support gay marriage and I even attended my uncle's wedding to his partner. It wasn't a legal marriage but they are married in my eyes. The reason gays fight so hard for it is because marriage does mean something. Of course it is not for everybody but it can be a great thing if the right people do it for the right reasons. The reason I accused Reality of being a manhater is because of her comment that men are babies. Men always get called babies and overgrown children by women and it is just not true in my case. I left home at 16 to never return and I have always supported myself and I have always cooked and cleaned for myself so I resent that stereotype. In no way did I marry to have a woman cook and clean after me. Sometimes I get sick of the male bashing that women do without thinking about it and my response is to launch a missiles back at them. Not saying it is right but it is how I defend myself. Link to post Share on other sites

Cooking and cleaning is a small part of why I referred to SOME men as "babies". I don't recall saying EVERY MAN ON THE PLANET! Let it go Wog! It really is not worth loosing sleep over!

It wasn't a legal marriage but they are married in my eyes Tell them to come to Canada. The reason gays fight so hard for it is because marriage does mean something. I agree with you 100%. ALL people who love someone and want to make a long term committment, share their lives together, be a family, SHOULD be allowed to get married. Men always get called babies and overgrown children by women and it is just not true in my case When I call my H a baby, it's only the times he's sick and not feeling well. He likes to be left alone, but wants someone to look after him. For us, it's affectionate. I am the bigger wimp when it comes to being a baby and having a cold/flu etc... I do think though that when some women say men are babies, they really mean, when a bunch of guys get together, they revert back to their teens and early years. It's just the way they bond and have fun together. Actually, I find it quite entertaining. Seeing my bro, bro-in-law and my H together is hysterical! (And for you'zzz with dirty minds, NOT that kind of 'seeing them together..') Link to post Share on other sites

lonelybird Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Times sure have changed. Where commitment and values have evolved as limited priorities. Once upon a time, people really enjoyed each other. It was the simple pleasures that made commitment and value the highest of priorities. Spouses seemed to value each other and respect each other more in yesterday’s society than today. Today’s world has become so materialistic that it seems that spouses in marriage have now become the object and are treated as such. Focus on growing together seems forgotten. Fast pace and changes in the world have no doubt created a hell of a lot more stress and striving to keep up with it all, thus everyone’s energy is pulled in all directions and becomes lost where it truly matters, in the family Sure! I do believe there are marriages that will survive and do make it to “death do us part” and are truly happy. I don’t feel in today’s world there are many Of all the couples I know, and there are many, it is very disheartening to hear their stories. Some that I know have been together for 25 –30 years and have openly said “it’s been a struggle” and we are not happy and have not been for years. Some have even said “I should have left a long time ago” and many have stated I stayed for the kids or financial reasons. Most have had affairs and some have not! Now they look back and view their life with their spouse as hauntingly frightening as retirement years approach. They dread the days to come of having their spouse as what they referred to as “a piece of the furniture” because they said their feelings have died and cannot be recovered I have two questions Firstly, I see the word “commitment” used in this forum often. Each person has his or her own reasons for staying and I am not judging it either way! I would like to ask and truly understand the word commitment when a spouse has been betrayed because for me, my ExH burned that word along with the vow. As a former OW, I would like to ask the question to the OW. I have read many times that the MM is committed exclusively to his OW. Personally, I really have a hard time with that one. Secondly, Who feels marriage is over-rated? I think today's people don't value their own vow and commitment anymore. they can say something convenient earlier, and then do something else convenient later. in a word, convenient and today's people have very different idea about love, seem like love to them is "convenient, chemical, easy" only. probably this is the reason today's marriage fail. because people are more selfish and egoistic. Old times people more value "sacrifice", ew, today's people cannot bear this word. when two person willingly to sacrifice for each other, their marriage would be good, but no, many people cannot pass that 'test', they probably say "screw sacrifice, what about me". If so many people will have this circle around and around. whenever chemical fade, convenience fade, they seek for new. how frustrating Ironic thing is "they think they gain, but in fact they lost something more valuable". they think they are in control their own happiness, in fact they lost their happiness. People think they are seeking happiness, but do they find by their own way? rebelling only hurt self Link to post Share on other sites
smoochygirl Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Marriage is supposed to be sacred, it is a strong commitment you made to the person you promise to start a family with, "till death do us part". A lot of people might not agree with me with this, but i think when you are married you agreed to "Own each other". How would you know that the MM are exclusively committed to his OW if he can't even commit to his own marriage? I don't see happy ending in a R when there is a betrayal. Betrayal + guilt =pain If one person is not happy in the relationship Divorce is the best solution. It is sad for some people to not even admit the reason of staying, I hope if they are staying for the kids and financial reason they should at-least let their spouse know why they stayed. This is just my opinion. I don't think marriage is over-rated, it feels good to be married to someone you want to be with for the rest of your life, at-least for now thats how i feel. To those people who think marriage is just a piece of paper well i simply don't agree, i have live with my husband before we got married, i feel a lot different in our relationship after i got this piece of paper. I feel "Security" simply because i love him. Link to post Share on other sites
Author RealityCheck Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 I feel "Security" simply because i love him. Can you explain your definintion of "secure" Because for me, I don't need a man to feel secure. I feel quite secure with myself. I'm not afraid to be alone. I actually love my space. I don't need a man for financial security, because I am financially independant. Link to post Share on other sites
