Sagely Advice

I like how he acts as if you don't have control over what type of person you marry, or that every women falls into his biased description. If you really made the mistake of marrying someone who wanted to control your money, deprive you of sex, or sit around the house without a job, then just tell her to get the fuck out.

Not that I disagree entirely, but a lot of times it's hard to know what type of girl she is until it's too late.

Yeah that seemed to be the big issue, but how long are we talking before someone decides to tie the knot? I'd say at least 5 years and after living them just to be on the safe side. I can't imagine not knowing someone inside out after that timespan.

Then again, I'm only 18, as Josh pointed out.

They should create gag weddings where the bride thinks she's getting married. Then when she reveals who she really is you can pull out no strings attached. I'm not sure how long it took before the rock was on her hand before bitchzilla presented. I'm guessing it couldn't have been more than a few months.

I guess I'm one in the minority. I'm not in debt, I don't like shopping, I don't even own a purse. My ring cost $0. Family hand me down. Also doubled as the engagement ring. Wedding cost = 100 for judge services, 60 for marriage license, 45 for the dress. $205 total. No flowers, none of that shit.
The reception was not our idea, but our combined family's thing. We simply had to show up.

And we lived together for a year before getting hitched and I've known him for 7 years. I won't go into our personal business, but I have to say that things are very good still. Those who know me know I love sex. That's all I'll say.

I'm planning on finishing my BA, and going back to work asap. edit. btw I have a college fund, so he is not paying for my school. Not planning on kids for a good 4-5 years. We are going to enjoy each other for a long while before getting into the hell which is child rearing.

I dont understand why I am the minority. i guess because getting married wasn't really what I ever wanted to do. I honestly didn't think someone would ever want to be married to me. I'm sort of amazed. So when it did happen, it was new. It wasnt some crazy childhood fantasy wedding, it was like "why spend all that fucking money on one stupid day? Me who hates flowers and big fluffy fru fru. lets take that money, save some of it, go on a kick ass honey moon etc" I don't know... there are no words.

We just had our year anniversary. I'm going to venture and say we're pretty happy. I know I am, and I'm pretty sure he is.

This guy sounds like my sister. but interesting points. Some woman hurt this guy badly...

That must be some school for $100M.

I'm too young to give a shit about marriage. I've never been a romantic person, so I'll just leave it at that i sincerely hope any potential husband of mine is down with pre-nups. I wish they were mandatory.

And good fucking god stop encouraging women to get diamond rings, or absurd ones anyway. I'm not a big jewelry person at all, and I detest gold. At most I'd want a plain silver band or something. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND women freaking out about diamond rings.

[Tones]

I think a ring could be the perfect final test to see if it's the right girl, meaning, she wants marriage for the right reasons: Propose with a stainless steel engagement band for her; if she says yes, than
she's the girl.

One of my exes said "If you can spend $20,000 on a car you can spend that on a ring too. It's for the love of your wife after all"

Many women think this way (though, the girl I'm dating is from the M/Nomi school of thought that jewelry is stoopid) and perhaps it's something for the social bragging circles. I, personally, don't care much for jewelry because paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to walk around with some gemstone or precious metal around your neck or on your finger never made sense to me. Put it towards the house, the college fund, or a vehicle.

My girlfriend hates Jewelry except Necklaces. And they just have to look interesting or good, not expensive.

[Razor Ramon]

I need to find these women. Some of the girls I've dated are very superficial. I just like those type of women and I know I'm going to pay for it in the future.
