I was trying not to get sucked into what I think is essentially a baiting argument, but your comments reminded me of the reaction I had to some earlier posts.
There were some comments about happy marriages that end after 20 years. Its not the best possible outcome, but its hard to have to have too many regrets if you were really happy during the time and perhaps have loving children as a result.
I got married at about 35 and I have only been married 4 years so I may still be in the honeymoon stage. I dont know what the future holds but I always thought that there is no way I could hate my wife, even if things get bad. She gave me my children and that is enough for her to get a do not hate pass. I hope I never have to test this hypothesis of course.
Also I think there are just as many men that try to get commitments from apprehensive women as the other way around. Hell probably some of you ugly dudes have hot sweet wives that you tried to get locked into a marriage ASAP
Again get married if you like or don't. Aint no need for drama either way. Writing an essay about your profound and novel thought that marriage sucks is about as useful as writing an essay about the futility of driving a sports car
