Am I the Only one seeing this?

I've watched it with other family members and I've seen up close how difficult it is on everyone involved.  With the divorce rate so high and people settling for one reason or another it has me scared to death.

After what I've seen the chances of my actually getting married are slim to none.  I'd like it to happen one day but I'd rather be single than to live through the other options.

so i guess we'll just live together, right qt?

Been there done that and after 9 or 10 years in Florida it's considered a common law marriage.  So the other one gets half.  You'd still have to sign a prenup or move the hell out before the statute kicks in.  I have a hard enough time when pets die.  I don't want to turn around b/f's every 9 years...LOL!   

A word for the wise, never move 'em into your house.  I won't, nor will I move into someone else's house.  Keep your own places and get a third together.  Rent the other two for residual income. 

Marriage is a beautiful thing.  And while love is one portion of it.  It is also a business and should be financially handled like you would a business.  Majority of marriages end due to financial problems, the secondary portion is emotional baggage and issues that one picks up long before the marriage.

Happily everything worked just right for me.I got all my wildness out
of my system .Running the roads,hanging out in the bars ,spending
all my $$ on dumb stuff.I wasnt even looking when I met my wife and
when I saw her.All that stuff everyone talks about happened and I
knew we would be married eventually.It;s not always a harlequin book
but the rewards outweight the small cost.When I left it up to the man
everything worked out just super.
