Of course! I come from a traditional household. Grew up like that, so I'd often thought I'd grow up, go to school, graduate, go to college (maybe find HIM in college? !) or get a job like right after (and find him there? ! ) but a las, it didn't really happen. I was only proposed to ONCE in my life. I rejected it because I didn't truly feel that he was Mr. Right. I've never had a truly succesful relationship like you to where it lead to marriage sadly. I lost my virginity to a one night stand back in 2012 at the age of 28. Then, in between that relationship where I almost got married were people just using me for sex =( and just wanting a friends with benefits or them cheating on their original partner with me, abusive men, men who are mentally daranged, a homeless guy, etc. Ugh..
At the end of the day, it always takes TWO unfortunately. And all this before 37 (mid thirties), mind you all Red Pillers lol.
I think it'd be nice to get married, but who knows. People in my generation don't seem too keen on marriage since they just see it as a contract of higher commitment (which isn't wrong). But it does take lots of money to put on a wedding or after party of one.
We both were previously engaged to other people before we met. I was with somebody for 4 years and one day i just decided I did not want to marry her. It was at the airport when she was picking me up. She said she almost forgot about me. All of a sudden i realized that she was always like this and would never change. A few months later i broke up with her.
A year later I met my future wife at the beach. We had so many things in common it was almost scary. She was living about 300 miles away at the time. i was planning to drive up to see her but I got the flu and was really sick. She drove 300 miles to take care of me. My ex would never have done something like that.
I never really proposed to her. We both knew how it was gonna end up. We have been married over 27 years and it is not always easy but
at previous relationships, we did consider the idea of considering the possibility of marriage, yes... more seriously
in one case we figured out that we were too young at the time, and it wasn't in our plans to start a family (which was our idea of marriage, to start a family) and in the other case we realized that we had different plans and goals, for the marriage and towards the marriage, so, since we were not going to go into a possible marriage on the same page, it was best to not force it nor rush into it...
Honestly I've always wanted to get married. I've always been a strange dude in the sense that I've always envisioned from a young age (around 16 years old) how I would propose to my partner and the setting for a wedding. In my last relationship I thought I got pretty close until we ended things and now, I'm back to stage 1.
i did but i was younger and more naive, as i grow older i realized that neither the times we live in was suitablefor something like that nor i was the guy who should marry, i'm not husband material, friends with benefits, one night stand, brother, father, son, grandson, friend, patriarch of a harem, all of them i am suitable but not husband, i'm notcut out from that cloth.
I was married (still technically am...), and I consider myself open, but any man who wishes to marry me will have to put a lot of effort into convincing me that it's worthwhile.
Being married is great fun. Literally getting to have constant sleepovers with your best friend, plus cuddle with your crush, plus a bunch more awesome stuff
I have been married for nearly a decade. I could not be happier. We both love and support each other and take care of each other. I feel like i have the greatest gift in the world being able to wake up next to my best friend in the whole world. my beautiful wife.
Marriage scares me, but I can't see marrying anyone else. So I figure that I might as well do it. If I don't marry her then I don't see myself ever getting married.
I have nothing against a lifelong relationship but the institution of marriage does absolutely nothing for men. It's essentially setting up the man to be robbed because the government makes money off of divorces.
