Is there a point in dating someone who doesn't believe in marriage? (Page 2)

[mellowman]

figure things out fast. If you all are that far apart, yo uhave a choice to make. Is he enough of what you want to give up marriage? If not time to go.

[Belgie]

Well it depends on whether you value the institution more than your partner.

[Dark93]

I have a friend whos parents have been together for 22 years but they never got married. Their undying love for each other was enough.

[Anonymous]

Yes, because look at the challenge you have, not only proving to them how worthy and beautiful they are but proving to them how amazing and delightful marriage is!

[Anonymous]

Its like continuing to date someone who says they dont want kids when you know you do. you're banking on them changing their mind and thats not right of you

[anmari2001]

think there is a huge diffrnce the institucion of marriage and the marriage itself

[Raven_76]

People change. People act cool and that they're emotionless badasses yet they cry themselves to sleep at night because the guy they're in love with doesn't like them back.

[Travis754]

Everyones minds change as they mature. You could say you dont want kids then in 5 years you could be having your 3rd child. So as Thomas Rhett says "Life Changes". :)

Marriage to me is pointless... I know a woman is gonna lie to me and fuck me over sooner or later so why should I even bother?

[Asker]

Dang who hurt you

[Pandora91]

Eh... just about every woman that claims they care about me... but hey I'm not knocking you for wanting to get married... I just lost interest in it thats all

[Asker]

I didn't think u were knocking me. Just obvious youve been through a lot. Sorry to hear that

[Pandora91]

It's ok after a while you just lose feelings for everything haha

[newPython]

It means you need to do a better job of making his interest level go up.

[A-man-22]

Yes you can have a meaningful relationship without marriage.

Marriage nowadays is too legally binding for some people.

[MScifiwriter]

Marriage has partly always been about legally binding two people together. You make it sound like more people are interested in having flings and casual relationship these days, instead of a solid long lasting relationship.

[A-man-22]

It can be meaning full without law
Love is love when you start putting law into it, it becomes not love any more.

[MScifiwriter]

How does "putting law into it" have anything to do with whether or not two people love each other more or less, i. e. "it becomes not love any more".

I don't understand that.

[A-man-22]

Example in Russia gay relationships are illegal.
That's a time when law interferes with love.

A guy shouldn't be scared that he will lose half his money if his wife doesn't stay true to him.

Law interferes with love.

[Lance1965]

There is even more point in dating them if they don't believe in marriage. It will save a lot of headaches later when everything turns to shit.

[Anonymous]

What do you expect to get out of a marriage that you can't get out of a very very very long-term relationship?

[btbc92]

Things that supposed to be in a marriage is sadly being done outside of marriage. You're not supposed to be doing this and this is why people are so miserable, bitter and divorcing. This is why people have such low and unrealistic expectations.

[MarilynMansonsSlvt]

Depends if marriage is a priority to you

[niDaye]

Marriage is an agrement on sheared property and other forms of wealth between two parties. It has nothing to do with love

[MysteriousDarkness]

If both people in the relationship did not want marriage them its fine but not if one wants marriage and the other doesn't

[Daniel3035]

That depends on wether you believe in marriage if not your both there do why not.
If you do well she’s clearly using you for sex or pleasure.

[EmperorDalekNZ]

If marriage is important to you, then of course not. Many people would prefer not to, and that's fine too. It's worth noting that marriage laws make it harder for a guy to want to get married.

[Anonymous]

I think you should find someone whose project match yours. I don't wanna get married, so I won't be with someone who still want some in the long term. Way too many future arguments...

[bayemre541]

That is a matter of opinion. There is no factual answer too this question

[Prakbio]

If you're interested in just hook up so than it is totally okay

[LuvAsh]

I wouldn't want to date someone who wouldn't want to get married in the future.

[admles]

There's no point IF you want to get married.

However, if you're not into marriage, then it shouldn't make a difference.

[valualty]

There is point in finding out why they don't and changing their mind. You want the marriage put in the work

[Knowbetternow1]

If it’s important to you I’d say you’re taking a risk. Keep it friendly and it shouldn’t be a problem

[Anonymous]

I don't want to get married again, I just want a loving relationship.

[Anonymous]

If you’re 100% looking for marriage then yes it’s pointless.

[chrisbigman]

No. Which is precisely why I don't engage with women who have no interest in marriage.

[msg812]

There is a point if all you want is sex or if you don't believe in marriage too.

[HugeProblem]

of course, not all relationships must en up with marriage

[SpinachMan]

Does he mean by legal contract? Cause I'd think the same way as him. I hate the government in marriage right now.

[dontgofalling]

Maybe instead, you can change what the marriage means for you two,

[Waver]

Marriage is a scam romanticised.
But if that's a deal breaker, then you better find someone more traditional

[TacoFamine]

The institution of marriage and marriage is two different things lul

[Anonymous]

Some people don’t believe in marriage because it’s a financial trap that only benefits women and greatly hurts men

[Anonymous]

Maybe if you’d avoid having sex with him then u can persuade him to marry you by saying lets wait until marriage.

[1truekhaleesi]

That's up to you. Is marriage important to you?

[1truekhaleesi]

@TacoFamine okay. Things are still up to her to decide.

[Anonymous]

If the sex is good I wouldn't worry too much at this stage

[Chaz269]

So, you don't believe in love?

[bklynbadboy1]

Move on your wasting your time

[ROCKS128]

Yes, one may change his mind...😝

[ROCKS128]

If he really loves you, he will change his mind over time, and if he doesn't...
U shld probably move on and marry someone else, coz still waiting for him would be stupidity.

[genericname85]

sure, if you're not going to marry, then why not?

[LegateLanius]

It is, but only if you don't believe in it either.

[JudgmentDay]

Yup! Gotta be on the same page about it.

[clampfan101]

Not if you want a LTR. All or nothing if you do.

[someoneosome]

for a while , yeah sure, but not too long term.

[lovedejj_xo]

Move on IF you want marriage

[HaveNoName]

In my book, NO. Many will disapprove of course.

[Hurdleez-Swampede]

All relationships should lead to marriages.

[dream1515]

a faithless person is always dangerous.

[Dause]

That's what Mid-eastern 'Terrorists' and olden Christian 'Crusaders' often said before: to justify murdering, slaughtering, and committing many other atrocities to people who were completely unrelated to them😂 (Though that is a bit off topic)

[dream1515]

@Dause what's so funny?

[Dause]

What was funny was your statement, it lacks any trace of thought or logic and can only be an attribute of lack of thought or thorough brainwashing. Faith and religion are something entirely independent of behavior, and many people also fake having faith to 'fit in'. Perhaps in the olden days 'faith' which basically governed your everyday life could force civility on the surface and force bad people to act good in public. Religion nowadays makes no difference though. Bad people can be religious and bad without consequence, and feel consoled to do more sins by being forgiven or confirmed in their actions by relogion, good people can similarly be non-religious and good. Neither side is truly restricted in any way.

[dream1515]

@Dause nobody manages me I'm just trying to be a good person. what do you understand when you say religious. you must be good people first, never harm people. God's forbidden and you must obey. you shouldn't just live for this world. something like that. Of course, it does not fit anyone in bad people, but everyone is responsible for itself. my thoughts come to you funny and simplebut your thoughts are absurd and empty for me.

[Dause]

If God does exist, it is not in any book. The things that are forbidden? Merely rules changed and twisted through time by people who craved history take a particular turn. Faith is akin to blindness, a person would murder their family in faith and laugh about it in the morning after seeing the horns on the Angel who told him to do so.

Everyone is responsible for looking as closely at the world as possible for themselves. To see what happens in the world, what is good and makes people happy, makes the world a better place. To see what it takes to make earth into Heaven, and to do work towards making it a reality. None of us are God, but that does not mean in any way we are incapable of improving the world.

[dream1515]

@Dause God didn't want people to be sacrificed and sacrifice us. people changed the previous books sent by God. and the last book came. Allah is One and OneIt's not bad to be religious. the only difference i am bound to allaha and i remember him, you deny. but there is no compulsion in religion everyone is free. I respect you waiting for the same respect. sorry for my bad English.

[TsubasaCorrupted]

No point if you want marriage and he doesn't
