I love this board cause of sheer volume of people who will contribute to such general topic threads. I've seen threads abotu a guy realizing he'd never get married, and threads asking people who were married if they'd do it again.
Lately I've been contemplating whether or not it's really something I ever want to do. Without getting too much into my own concerns in this initial posts, has anyone out there consciously decided to avoid marriage (or say relationships lasting longer than 3-4 years), and been happy with their decision?
No need to marry. Live with them. Be good in bed, really good, and they'll deal with the no ring thing.
I'm 53, never been married. Played the field, lived with several, loved a few, dated ever race, creed and color.
You can be happy this way. Focus on your career, make tons of money, travel.
If you meet a woman who is beautiful, independently wealthy, bisexual and emotionally sane...then you can get married. --But since sanity does not come in the feminine model, that will never happen. Not marrying them, btw, makes them work harder.
