i think my parents might have gotten lucky, married over 30 years and they still act like newly weds, dunno maybe marriage isnt for me?
i used to believe that there is one person in the world for you but that just seems so crazy, im also in a point in life where a lot of my friends are getting married/engaged...and yes i think some are forcing the issue because society says its time...any stories both happy and horror?

I could have put this
into a single post.
I've known you for twenty-six seconds and I can't imagine reading your posts for the rest of my coffee...
I don't really understand what the issue here is. Is it that you are worried that you will never change or that you don't know if you should get married because your friends think it's time for them to get married?
If it's the first one, that's not an issue. The only way you'll stay the same person for the rest of your life is if you seal yourself in a box.
As far as marriage goes, I wouldn't recommend doing it cuz everyone else is. I married a man who was considerably older than me and had been married before without kids. It touched off a wave of all his single friends marrying younger girls and having babies because "it was time". Out of 5 weddings over a 2 year period, one marriage is going strong (no kids), one has been in limbo for about 3 years, and 3 have dissloved (all with kids) in really ugly ways.
Good luck pulling tail when you are 56.
Move out of your parents house.
26 is still very young. You might feel different when you are 30; which is still really young.
I say marry as many times as you want, until you find one you like.![]()
When I was 26 (I'm 31 now), I figured I would still have a wife and maybe a kid by now. Amazing how things change in 5 years. I realized I didn't want kids a couple years ago and my wife is about to become my ex-wife.
Point is things might change in your mind when you're older. Then again, they may not. Either way, don't do something just because it's the social norm. As long as you don't kill people or carry a torch for kids, do what makes you happy.
I'm 29 years old...been married for 6 years in December. I'm very happy. We have our arguments, just like anybody..but the cool thing about marriage is that you know, no matter what...they're going to be there. If you have an argument, they're not just going to walk away...When you've had a long hard day, they're there for you to vent/support you. To me, it's worth it...by a long shot.
I do agree with this..don't marry because you think it's normal...do it because you want to be with them forever.
Im 29 and I thought for the longest time I wouldn't find someone, but last December I got lucky.
Seriously there is someone out there for you. Be patient.
good luck Thanksgiving week, Eric..though I'm sure you wouldn't be setting all this up if you didn't know the answer already...and thank you again in advance for the tix.
I thought I'd be settling down around 26 or 27. I still have a few years before I hit that point, but as of now I'm completely content with dating around.
thank you, just feels weird not wanting to settle down, im 26, sure id like to marry and have kids later but i dont want to force the issue which it seems like a lot of people are doing around me, 60 years with the same person just sounds so damn crazy, im not saying i have infidelity issues its just a lot can happen in 60 years and i think marriage is a commitment a lot of people are taking lightly these days
