geez, how desperate are some women to get married?

you just wanna see me naked, admit it...

but at any rate, i'd just bug the fuck outta my man iggie here. his curmudgeonly ways are the best part of him.

 

OKay.....so I want to see you naked...is that a crime???

But seriously, you two make such a good afternoon entertainment....Like brother and sister, you two just make my day complete with your back and forth debating.....

 

it's only because we can't flick at each other's ears and play bloody knuckles.

 

Hell, I'd like to see that....there should be a KC-IG meet up sometime....tickets should be sold...see who makes it out alive!

 

we could play red rover...

 

What's that?

 

you get up a line of friends, link hands. the two teams face each other, ond take turns calling "red rover red rover, send so and so over." then so and so runs at the other line and tries to break the hand holds, usually pummeling the crap outta them. if he makes it, he keeps one member of the other team. if not, the opposing team keeps him. i hope i described that well.

 

Take it to PMs people.

This thread was originately about how pathetic women are to get married.

The battle of the sexes?? Only if you go looking for it.

 

it's my thread...i can say what i like.

Dodge ball's even better if overgrown kids play...*c*

Back to football, eh?

 

One thing you've probably not noticed yet is that EVERY thread has the potential to be hijacked and taken off topic. The friendly non-topic banter is what makes this site so wonderful.

 

Banter. Banter. Banter banter banter.

Banter.

Hey, the Conservatives just won in Canada. GO HARPER!

 

Having to stay on topic sucks, especially in class. We never stay on topic once the teacher leaves... today people were telling dirty jokes to the whole class because we had a sub in 3rd.

There is no living female that I trust enough to marry.

If I ever get married, the only reason will be because I am planning on having kids with the woman I married. I don't know if I want kids or not, and I haven't thought about it and I'm not going to make that decision for like a decade.

 

at least a decade. marriage shouldn't even be in your vocabulary now.

 

I used to mispell it.

 

ah shit. you can get all of those things without getting married!!!!!!!! As soon as somone loves me I want them to propose but have a very long engagement like 5 years prob at least and adopt a little ethiopian girl or guetamalen child and buy them cute baby clothes at nordies sighhhhhhhhhhh man i goota get up in two hours fuck and I am just on cloud nice. love ya KC-thanks for the advice!!!!!!!!!!!!! it worked

 

I'm high................

 

just because this was your experience does not mean it is everyone's. zoomie and i got married on the beach, i wore a sundress,(which i bought) he wore a sarong, and the whole thing cost under a grand, which includes the rings. They are silver, and my engagement ring has a fake emerald. i got a very few bridal shower gifts from my co-workers, mostly gift certificates to target that we used to buy things like a toaster oven we all use.he doesn't ferry me about, i have my own car (which i bought myself well before we were married). and if anyone's the 'gardener' (which basically is just mowing the grass as we don't give a crap about our yard), it's our teenagers. (they have to make themselves useful somehow). he never picked me up in his arms (what, he wants to break his back? i'm not big but still!)

mostly we hang out with my friends, true, but his don't live around here. he loves my friends and they love him. hobbies--we have a lot of them together, he still has his "bat cave" (shed) in which he can make things. and his other hobby is the computer which he obviously still spends a lot of time on.

as for our home, we recently bought it together, and he couldn't have bought it without me, my salary and my good credit.

i don't want to be defensive, i just want to describe a marriage for you that is nothing like what you have described.

 

I can see every side of this argument. The thing for me is, my boyfriend and I see marriage as being about the rest of the world, not the couple actually being married. Our relationship is private. We can be completely committed to eachother, and to spending the rest of our lives together, without involving everyone we've ever met. I will certainly keep those closest to me informed that I am happy and in love - but should that really be a question? I love the way that if I havn't seen someone in ages they will ask "are you still with Ian?" I bet the would just assume we were together if we were married.
What it really comes down to is that our relationship involves us, and not the rest of the world. Our dogs and cats are involved because they depend on us. And in the sense that marriage is WORK, and it's really ust a description of a plan to include this other person in your life, we are married. We just don't need our friends, relatives, god and the state to recognize our relationship on a piece of paper!

Then again, we also don't make out in public or get it on in the streets. We just aren't into it, and marriage is all about exhibitionism

 

it's about exhibitionism???

you know the main reason we formalized it? it's easier. he and his kid can be on my insurance (they didn't have any before), we own things together and therefore if anything happens to one of us the other is not screwed, we can file taxes together, we can be responsible for each other if one is in the hospital, etc.

our wedding was about 35 people, and it was a very small part of a fun day of swimming and boating. i guess if you let people look at you for 20 mins, that's exhibitionism.

jesus. i didn't want to get defensive, but that is just a weird thing to say.
