Sure lots of couples stay together their whole lives and never get married. Look at that girl from the movie "Tootsie" who was with that guy for so long.
No I don’t think there’s a point of dating someone who doesn’t wanna get married if you want to because they don’t want to. and you’re just wasting time with theme
If marriage is something you are dead set on then there isn't a point. You're only wasting your time and his time. Do what makes you happy, your happiness comes first.
Honestly it should be something you’re thinking about now. His opinion might not change, not that it can’t (look at George Clooney marrying Amal after only dating for a year). But you should really speak about it now with him to know if he’s willing to change. You don’t want to waste your time with someone that might not change his mind.
The fact that you would break up if he does not want to get married makes his point. You don't want to spend your life with him, you just want leverage, and for everyone to see how special you are having someone risking devorce just to be with you.
You dont know what his point is as I dont know it either? We haven't talked about it that much. Its not about leverage and I dont understand why everyone assumes i only want kt for my benefit
I think you are dating the wrong guy if getting married is more important to you than the guy you are with.
That depends on how firm he is on his stance, but if marriage is your end goal, and he won't budge, then no, there's no point.
If you intend to marry him or at least be with him in the longrun, that's definitely a problem. You should be on the same page.
Marriage is not important to me. I want a long term relationship and I mean really long and happy too. A paper makes no difference to me. And if he wants to leave me then he can without doing paperwork and a court
Marriage isn’t important, that money could be used make a downpayment on a house
yes, i dont like marriage as this old tradition either, but because taxes are a lot cheaper for married couple we probably gonna do it :D
Yes, if you say you don't want to get married yet, I don't see a problem. If you turn +30 and you're still dating this person, then definitely this is a problem and you might have to break up.
People can change what they want later in life, this goes for both you and him, but you shouldn't count on him changing his mind. If you are dead set on getting married and you know that's what you want for certain, I'm not sure if there is a point.
in my opinion, marriage these days is just a legal contract and not much more.
If you want it and he doesn’t then disclose to him one day you will end it, but until then you can have fun.
It is better to breakup and accept that anything might happen from the moment you leave. By this I mean do not get disappointed if he gets engaged within a year.
Men traditionally wait much much longer until they are willing to get married than women, just as women traditionally wait much longer to be willing to have sex than a man.
No, just like for him there is no point in dating someone who wants marriage. You both already know you are going to break up and are just delaying the inevitable.
No it isn't. I only date with the intention of getting married and if he doesn't feel the same way, bye bye to him.
So you just prove that what you wanted was not to spend the rest of your life with him...
@Arne123123 um that’s what marriage is?
is it? I don't see how marriage makes that happen.
When I think of marriage im viewing it as confirmation that I'm yours and he's mine. I dont know too much about the financial aspect of it so thats not a factor for me.
And we are saying marriage is in no way a confirmation that he is your and your his, as people cheat and devorce left and right. Just becouse you hope you will both want to stay together forever right now does not mean you won't change your mind in a week or 10 years... And as it does not really change anything, there's no point.
Thats your opinion. Im entitled to have my own as well. We have different views on marriage which is why I feel there is a point
Girl don't do it, don't do it. I know too many girls who decided to stay and waste so many years trying to change and convince the man. It's not worth it
