I dunno. Mom was jailbait.

I'd definitely agree with all this, both in terms of my own marriage and what we hear from our friends and relatives. Being in our mid-30s, we know alot of people who have been married anywhere from about 2-15 years that we hang out with socially, and everybody does sorta seem to have the same issues.

My wife and I are very lucky -- we agree on many things relating to money and child rearing, etc., so we get along really well. Some of our friends, unfortunately, aren't so lucky.

Heck, we know people pulling down 6 figures (combined salary, and remember to adjust for Boston standard of living) who have serious marital problems because their spending habits are fundamentally incompatible. She always wants some new-fangled purse or whatever, and he's a "saver". Or "he always wants the latest video game / new car / electronic doo-dad, and she wants to save for a house". Over and over and over again do we hear about it...

And kids are amazingly stressful on a marriage. Whenever I hear stories or (more usually) see a movie or read a book or whatever about a couple that decides to have kids in order to "bring them closer together' or save a marriage, I shake my head in utter amazement. If a marriage isn't strong to begin with, bet your ass that having a kid will seal the deal and finish it for certain. In many ways, they're stress-inducing monsters. :)

AMEN BROTHER!
:toast: :clap:

But if you miss the Enchantment Under the Sea dance, bad things will happen. I bet you don't even remember your older brother anymore.

If I get a chance to do a guitar solo, I think I'll go with something by Sid Vicious.

DO NOT MARRY YOUR HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART. PERIOD.

I should go from high school to high school telling kids not to do this. :shake:

Well III........Its almost like we've discussed this before....You're t hinking with your pecker, and you more than likely won't be able to remember her last name in 10 years.

Been married 9 years now and can't imagine it going south. We married at 25 which is a bit early in my honest opinion but I think we were lucky in that it turns out we agree on most everything - religion, extended family, child rearing, etc. Our marriage started it out with some heavy credit card debt and student loans but were in the black now on everything but the house.

ROFL

That was a classic thread.

Sure he will. It'll be the name he writes on those child support checks.

Aren't you on gochiefs level of dating???


You are still in highschool, right??? true/false
Do not have a real job?? T/F
Have dated less then three people seriously??? T/F
Still live at home??? T/F

If you have answered true on any of these, you need to sit down and get a reality check..

You seriously have some emotional attachment problems if this is happening this early on...

I'm not in high school, but I don't have a "real job" and I've dated less than three people seriously.

Odd, that.

I have dated less than three people seriously. However, I am ten years out of high school, I have a real job that pays for real bills, and I live on my own. I don't think it's fair to say I have attachment issues based upon one criteria.

Couldnt imagine getting married before college. Would completly kill normal college life and quite a lot can change while your there.

Most of my married friends are doing alright after dating for a few years in college and cant think of one that got married before 22.

I dated my ex-wife for 5 years in college and grad school. Our marriage lasted 2. Although it was a matter of days (literally) before she was unfaithful, so it never really got off the ground.

I think under my own criteria, I probably shouldn't even think about marriage again until I'm at least 35. I don't think I'm mature enough now, at almost 32.
