pointless bs imo

You always sound so unhappy. I hope you find something in life that brings you pleasure.

It’s not for everyone. If it’s not your path then it’s not your path. But pointless it is not. It is a very happy life for many.

I have to say my situation was quite similar to Shogun’s and had I not settled down I would have continued down a self destructive path. Getting married is a big step but bringing children into the world and being a parent is a major life changer. I’ve always felt like after spending time around people you can tell who’s parent and not without even asking, and I do mean an active parent. I think it changes a person for the better.

I never ever wanted to get married and have kids and was quite happy living like a rock star (I’ll leave it to your imagination).

Then I met a very patient and persistent lady who ground me down (I’m kidding here) and pretty well forced me to marry her (actually, I’m not sure if I am kidding).

Now I have a beautiful wife and a beautiful daughter who I adore, so it can turn out nice sometimes.

I couldn't wait to get married. I only had one other girlfriend and I thought for sure we would get married after college. She had other plans. I was able to hang on to the second one.

Happy ever after can happen.

Honestly my husband is the best person I ever met.. He is amazing I know we are not together. He is the person I would want to spend my life with. He is the best of the best.

Just find a nymphomaniac who owns a brewery.

Isn’t that an old Monty Phython line?

reply

It's a phrase that's been used plenty of times before with lots of variances. I'm not sure if I can pinpoint the origins.

reply

I’m pretty sure there’s a sketch where they say, ‘a nymphomaniac who’s dad(?) owns a pub(?). Anyway, classic line and very true.

I think it's pointless to have kids and marriage on some must-do checklist. If they fit into your life, if you have a trustworthy romantic partner, if you have the financial and mental stability, etc - those are the things that need to be thought on.

I really feel like having kids and getting married as a must-do social rule is kind of antiquated. You're not five years old, getting a baby chick on Easter that will bore you or overwhelm you in terms of responsibility 3 days later. It's a lifetime thing that deserves more consideration than I'm over 25.

I’ve had the opposite experience of many of the others here. Whenever I get involved in a relationship I come out worse for the experience and have a set back no matter how hard I try to have a good relationship.

Are you too complicated and hard to love?

reply

You would have to ask them. When you find out the answer, tell me.

reply

halomaniac88, you must have had a bad marriage or whatever. Marriage and children can be a joy to those who are willing to love, share, feel an attachment, etc. I hope you find happiness.
