Is marriage worth it?

[MattTheSkywalker]

The one thing in common among all your failed relationships is you.

Marriage is hard. If you are weak of character or lack integrity, it will never be for you.

I also don't feel that enough people look for help in their relationships. There is nothing weak or demeaning about asking others for help.

In fact PM me if your relationship is rocky and you want to talk, or if you would like some Cipher Advices. I'm sure a lot of people on these boards would have plenty of intelligent and helpful things to offer someone who is having a hard time.

Oh yeah, watch Dr. Phil - the man with a quick tongue, solid presentation and just a whole head full of common sense that a lot of people never get.

That's my goal too.

How do you handle the family constantly asking when you are going to settle down? or all your friends getting married and leaving less people to hang around, or the not having a kid?

Those are the only things that bother me about staying single.

You should just tell them that you haven't found the right guy yet.

If by this you mean that all women are fucked in the head, then I agree .

From all the marriages that I've seen . It usually is the woman that fuck it up.

They change from the girlfriend to wife who thinks that she doesn't have to do anything for her man anymore, since she's landed him.

It's not marriage that's the problem, it's us as people. Why do marriages go bad? Ask yourself that. You shouldn't marry unless you TRULY know and understand that you want to spend the REST OF YOUR LIFE with them. That's why I'm so scared of marriage. I don't want to end up getting a divorce 8 years later like my parents did.

That's the problem. One does not TRULY EVER know the other person. Initially at first the person you are marrying may in fact believe they want to spend the rest of their life with you, but then they change as time goes by. This has more to do with that person then you. You can't keep someone from changing.

I know for a fact I will remain faithful to my partner. I just know it because that is me. Someone else, however, you don't ever know that for a fact which is why I am afraid to get married and quite frankly, against it. I KNOW I can trust and depend on MYSELF, but someone else no.

Nowadays I think the smart thing to do is to be common-law. Basically marriage with the ring and legalities (so I think).

The moral vacuum that we live in has driven us to seek an answer to such a simple question. The answer is: it is only worth it for you, if you feel that marriage has worth.

It would be no different than asking "Houses, are they worth it?" "Since so many fall apart and require maintanance, is it worth investing my money and time into one?"

Since ethics are not taught anymore, and religion (the layman's ethics class) has fallen to the wayside, society is forced to ask this question. Marriage does not provide anything in and of itself, it is simply a title. "I am married." It is no different than "I am a captain." If I have the title of captain, yet I am a drunk behind the wheel of the ship, how long will my ship and crew last? If I love being the captain, because I value what it provides me (personal joy, the power of command of a vessel, access to the seas, etc.) I do everything in my power to keep my ship in working order, because it is a major source of my happiness. The ship does not provide me happiness in and of itself, but of what I can do with it. Because a ship exists, provides me no pleasure, only when I take control of it do I obtain happiness.

Marriage is the same, it is simply a title, a declaration to the world that you have obligated yourself to one individual, one who you feel is a reflection of your values, and with whom you feel will provide you happiness in your journey in life. Simply being married does not further you in your goal, i.e. happiness, it is simply a contract, obligating you to this person.

If you value a person, because you value the happiness that their company and actions provide, then yes, marriage is worth it. If you do not value the companionship of a single person, if you prioritize variety, then no, marriage is not worth it to you.

This is so fucking funny


I have made the calculation for many married man; divide all the cash you've ever spent from the first date to the last lawyer's bill and alimony payment, and don't forget to include all that furniture and vacations you would have never gone for if it hadn't been for the wife. Then divide by all the orgasms she's given you. You wouldn't believe the price some guys pay to be with a pig; $500.00 for a swine an ugly bullfrog faced POS. Imagine what $500 could buy you on the open market. Quite a few friends have blown up in a rage at me when I make this calculation for them...they can't handle the reality of their own stupidity.

I have always said this. The problem is that most men look at the matter in the short run rather than in the long run. A hooker is more expensive than a date, true, but when you've done with your marriage and you're looking at a divorce bill that totals in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, just think then of the kind of party pussy you could have bought with your hard earned dough. And you wouldn't have had to settle for some butterface with a spreading ass either, some soccer mom with no elegance or femininity.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's do the math. 2 decent mid-priced whores a week - $250/week (that's if you know where to look) - $1000/month - $12,000/year - $120,000 for 10 years of quality fucking.

Sounds a lot cheaper than a wife, even without divorce ass-raping.

I have known men with ugly fat wives that looked like the Terrible Mr. Toad from the Wind in the Willows that spent $300,000.00 in 10 years on them and were lucky to get one fuck a month. Imaging the top flight call girls they could have fucked for that money.

That is PERFECT... IF you got married solely to get laid.

Does a hooker nurture you child/children? Does a hooker spend countless hours by your side while you`re sick in bed? Does a hooker Laugh and LOVE you?

The list is never ending.
