Dunno. it's a mixed bag. definitely a lot of work. of course, each person's "mileage" may varry quite substantially. Some creatures are made to live in captivity, others are liberal minds.
I am married for 7 years. First 6 years have been a rocky ride but mostly wonderful even with its ups, downs, getting adjusted to each other, etc. However, nothing prepared me for "snakes on the plane" - e.g. my wife FINDING JESUS. and I don't mean our gardener. And not your standard variety of Jesus. She happened to fancy the one from "Jews for Jesus" strain. Her being Christian, me being a Jew was already a fun mix. I'm not a religious person but I CAN'T TAKE PROLYTHESIZING (sp?) in any shape or form. With JFJ being not only offensive to my Jewish origins and traditions and beliefs but also being ONE OF THE MOST CULT-LIKE religions in existence, I was immediately without any warning under severe pressure. The quickness and depth with which situation spiraled out of control was mind-boggling.
This additional friction point created too many issues to list. We now fight almost on weekly basis about religious views and how I don't want to hear that sh!t and how my child should not be brainwashed since he's too young to understand the reasons or even meaning.
I must admit that person I loved very much has turned into someone I just accept for the sake of preserving a family. Our life is slowly turning to sh!t - which can be considered what many marriage are like. With a second child on the way, I'm a hostage of this situation. I would have never married my wife if I had known that she'd become such a religious zealot. So, in my eyes - this was definite "bait and switch".
My advise: try living together for several years before you tie the not. Besides, just because you exchange wows doesn't mean that your relationship is less meaningful as it is right now. Many of our friends chose live-in relationship over "formal" marriage. I think it also keeps your sub-conscious at least feeling like it's free - which I think can actually help your relationship at times.
Dunno. your mileage would definitely varry. Don't rush into it for all the wrong reasons - e.g. "she wants to have a wedding" or "we are both in love with tranceaddict.com and are active C0r whores"

yea i agree. trust and communication are the most important things to me. and once you're in a relationship where there is solid trust, you can never go back to not trusting someone. it's the worst feeling in the world and i've been in several relationships where i didn't trust them, but i kept trying to work on it and thought it was me, and bla bla bla. if i feel like i can't trust a guy, i'm instantly less attracted to him. like even if i'm just dating a guy or interested in him and i feel like he's full of shit or whatever, it's like, "next" lol |
amen to that. with FRIENDS i am like ok if they cant talk to me when there is a problem or whatever i just let them go. i dont invest in them anymore. i cant imagine being with a girl that cant talk to me. id let her go sooo quickly!

the longer i'm with a guy, the better the sex gets for me. but then again, my longest relationship was shy of 3 years, so i really can't talk i guess. haha that's like nothing compared to married couples who have been together for 5+ years. but to me, once the honeymoon phase is gone, it's gone...so once it's gone, u might as well have been together for 5+ years, even if it's only 2.
right? |
im the same way but because that connection gets deeper. you get to know them so well and you are really excited to be able to please them. at least thats the way it is with me anyways.
