Do you want to get married even though there is so much stigma around it?

No. I’d happily be with someone long term without paying for a piece of paper to let the government know that I have a long term partner. Plus, if you divorce, there goes a lot of money flushed away just for some lawyers and paperwork. Way easier to just avoid it. Husband/Wife is just a title. I don’t see how it can change your life in a positive way. But each to their own, I’m not going to diss on someone else for wanting marriage.

I had a fiance, he cheated on me after 3 years and left me for her, as that was new and exciting.

I don’t think I want to get married again and go through the similar type of heart-break.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

3 years is way too long for just a fiance. He should have been a husband within a uear only. He felt a slump in the relationship and got out of it.

He may have been thinking that the relationship was as good as dead when cheating with someone else. Hence, no cheating, accoridng to him.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@The_Shadow_Dweller He was locked in China. I was locked in Georgia during pandemic, China had some awful pandemic rules. We were 2 years in long distance. We would have been married if not the forced long distance. But after all that time away his feelings faded away and he did what he did.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

We weren’t engaged for 3 years. We were in a relationship for a year and lived together for 6 months, when he proposed, sadly we were forced to be distant for too long and never managed to actually get married. However he asked me 2 more times about marriage while long distance. And the last one was after our last break up, we reconciled shortly and he asked me if I’d marry him when I’d go back, as he knew finally I was going back, 2 weeks later he changed his mind and started dating a girl for whom he left. Funny thing is that China finally eased the rules and I managed to go back in October, but he already cheated and was already dating the new girl.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Not sure if I explained well, just woke up

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

We lived together at the time when I had to leave. I went back to my country to renew my visa and see my family. I left everything back in China, only took two pieces of clothes, as I was certain I’d be back in 2-3 weeks. But the pandemic started, China locked its borders to all the foreigners, and made it almost impossible for anyone to enter, including Chinese people. Life in China went on normally, my ex kept our house for two years and waited for me. We called every morning and evening for the first 1.5 years.
I even wrote a letter to the chairperson of China, to allow me to see a man I loved, to let me go back. Of course, he didn’t read or respond.

By the time I was allowed to go, my ex already had his feelings faded and he had already given up on the relationship.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

He never met me when I arrived, he called me and apologized me saying he started dating someone else and he fell for her and that he is sorry for failing me and screwing up everything, but he can no longer give me what I want. Later on, I found out, the reason he broke up with me - was that girl, just 2 weeks after he asked me for marriage in August, they were dating and probably he already cheated on me emotionally before that, because we were on and off.

[LovingLoverReturned]

It's understandable to be honest. I blame the pandemic.

[The_Shadow_Dweller]

You could have included the word pandemic in your opinion. I would not have said the things I said.

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

@LovingLoverReturned There was a pandemic for me too, but I chose to keep on loving him. So, while I do blame the pandemic, I also see his responsibility. I came so far to meet him and be with him again and he just replaced me with someone else, forgetting everything special we had and the reason he waited for me so long.

Most women are narcissistic opportunistic manipulative selfish succubi.

Average boys should never marry because women will typically use divorce against them in order to take a lot of money from boys. Women will typically divorce average men because women want 6 feet billionaire athlete tough guys. Anybody less than those guys are loser creeps.

Men love romantically while women love opportunistically.

[Cassie88]

Oh don't worry, I'm quite sure that most women aren't interested in you "average boys", LOL :D

[LovingLoverReturned]

Keep being delusional

[Justin1019]

@LovingLoverReturned

You know what? I know something about women who steal a married man from his legal wife, and that is that those seducer women (not the legal wives) are single women who have no committed husbands. Basically, single hoes who ride multiple cocks for fun and only settle when they are in their 30s. It's honestly pretty sad. Are you of those women? If so, that's honestly pretty sad. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[LovingLoverReturned]

It is pretty sad what those women you described do. And it is pretty sad your wife divorced you for a billionaire. Thinking that most women are like this won't help you at all... unless you actually desire to never find true love and resolving single. If that is what you want then sure continue.

[Echosoul]

No. That doesn't mean I don't want to be in a serious relationship but marriage as such seems like a financial trap that would leave me worse if it goes wrong. Based on family who have divorced or look like they will.

[Guy13]

Yes and without a doubt.

[SeriouslyFunny00]

Yes, but the stigma is the reason why I am not rushing about it. I'm a Christian and I believe in marriage someday, as a formality.

[Sasha0426]

No. One, I enjoy being single. And two, I don’t want to hear my spouse bitching about how I’ll turn on him. If that’s the case, then why the fuck are you with me? 🙄

[Cassie88]

Stigma? What stigma? There's a stigma attached to still being single in one's 30's.

[msc545]

Been there, done that, and barely lived to regret it. Never again.

[KrakenAttackin]

Ditto.

[Little_Bumblebee]

Maybe if I found the right person. But it's not something I NEED.
Same with kids.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I'd like to yes. Unless I change my mind in the future and like things the way they are.

[cth96190]

It is not ‘stigma’, the problem is unacceptable legal and financial risk.

[Rockstarrrrr]

Yes... to me, an ideal relationship would end up with marriage... I think it's worth it with the right person.. The one lol

[ThatCanucker]

As a man there is no benefit to marriage. If it fails a man will likely loose everything.

[AmyHew1tt]

Yes, eventually.

[edel19]

Yes, I don't care what the hot take is at the moment. It's marriage or nothing.

[MLGbreezy]

Nope think it’s overrated and unnecessary.

[serious]

The answer is No.

[misogynistic_pig]

No.

.

[Iron_Man]

Yes, I want to get married

[LiamJHayden]

No, but only because of no-fault divorce.

[LimitedBenefits101]

No sane man should get married.

[Anonymous]

Say what now? What stigma?

[XHopelessRomanticX]

Absolutely!
