With maybe one or two exceptions, anyone that I know that's married hates it. And these are people that have only been married several years. Of course, most of these people are fucking idiots because anyone could see that their future wives were money hungry assholes, so I guess they deserve their fate.
Hell, want to hear a story about the ultimate idiot? This guy that my friend knows is getting married next month, and he is so sickened by his fiancée (supposedly she's a real cunty bitch) that he has to take Viagra to get it up for her. And he's in his 20's. Yet he's still marrying her. Retard.
I'm not saying that Sats is right and every guy lies and every girl is a whore, I'm just saying that marriage is an institution that has been transformed by this society into something that you're just supposed to do, as opposed to a simple act of love.
But you do pay with your time, slut. :DQuote:

The problem is that people too many people get married because they're infatuated, before they really know the person. Love != infatuation. And since this is a get-rich-quick, credit-card, TV-dinner, instant gratification society, they bail out as soon as they hit a rough spot.
