I always wanted kids, but I'm glad I waited until I was 40. I 100% support, and encourage, not having kids if you don't want them, though. Nothing worse than a parent who didn't/doesn't want to be in that situation.

I know i will not persuade anyone, but a healthy marriage and a life together with your partner (wife in this case) is possible. We have been together for 27 years now, survived many crises, our daughter is 19 now and live changes, but if you chose your partner because of the values she has and her intellect, her beliefs and not her penthouse hotness, you may make it. It also helps not to sleep around and see other women as a challenge. I have not been unfaithful to her ever, and she hasnt been either, so that helps. In her I found the family that I didnt really have with my own family. So, it may work for you either, just chose wisely and do not let your cock be your director.

In my experience, hot woman always have a bad character, it is the way life forms them, they expect to be queens and as they get older and lose their looks, they get bitchy and in their frustration, leash out at their partner first and everone else later. So, a 5 may be a better life partner then an 8, on the long run. What is funny is, that when my wife was 25 she was a 4 at most, but now that we have grown older, she is easily a 7 amongst her age group, because she never uses make up and lived healthily. To each their own.

The satisfaction you get from being a parent is one of the greatest things about being married.

Marriage does not equal being a parent. Marriage, from a historical view is a pretty new concept compared to the age of the human race, so uh, stop using this as a reason.

This forum needs more stories like this.

All I can say is that she would have to be smoking for me to screw her on her period, let alone driving somewhere for the opportunity to do so. I ate a chick out once on her period, but the bitch never told me, claimed it "just started", and I didn't notice because the lights were out. All I kept thinking is how wrong it was for such a hot chick to have such a fish-stank poon. When I was done and went to go to the bathroom to take a leak, I experienced a double take and moment of terror when I saw my face covered in blood until I realized what happened. Bitch wasn't even apologetic and I had to strip my own blood soaked sheets.
You two are pussies. Anal must be out of the equation.

why does the age of the concept matter? It doesn't.

Marriage concept is ingrained in our culture, our religion, in most of the world. even African ancient tribes have marriage. There are small changes across cultural boundaries.

In fact what is fairly recent is the act of divorce. Or legally acknowledging a child without being married, or joint custody.

And without marriage, without being present, you do miss a lot.


Try it.

Tell a girl that you want to fuck her, get her pregnant, but you wont marry her nor spend any more time together other than raising a kid 50% when she is not there.
See where it takes you.

I just never felt it. I do believe that most people feel a real need to have kids. women more obviously but men too. Primal, like hunger.

I was probably one bad break away from being a serial killer. Oh well, there's still time.

I have had a few men ask me to marry them. I have said yes to two; I said no to the first, yes to the second out of some weird fucking 20 year-old girl catholic guilt; that was quickly divorced/annulled, I married G , he died, the bastard couldn't take another minute with me (25 plus years of marriage - happy and not mormon or orthodox ). After G; another expressed their pent up longing, I politely declined.
Steady and I will likely be together (it is the discussed plan - to retire together; to be one another's other) but not necessarily marry. He has referred to me as the marrying kind which I think is apparently true and I tend to joke about it with him and inform him he won't be number three.
I do tend to be a nurturer but not needy. I am somewhat independent in desiring my own space and time alone and am happy to give my love his; I also am very open to trying a lot of things and well, have not really disliked any of the things I try. To be true I SUCK at video games but god are they fun (VR - sweet things like Moss), I LOVE to go golfing with Steady - I don't play (yet) am a pretty good caddie, pin girl and bartender though, he is teaching me how to play pool and I am not so shitty at that, we already know I like to fish and camp and cook and do naughty stuff and for hobbies, garden, and am trying to learn how to bend metal to make jewelry, get better with my 9 mm for target shooting and am trying my hand at photography with my first DSLR and G's old film cameras. Plus, well I work, own my own house and two cars and pay all my own bills and share fun expenses with Steady.
OK - I am a fucking catch, I may marry my damn self.
Carry on.

For a long time I was like Noddle and a few others, married and saying "fuck marriage, i wouldn't wish this on anyone"

But man I'm so happy these days with my wife (and best friend for years) that i honestly get both sides of the coin. Like someone else said, mileage may vary...get the wrong one and either trade in asap or be in for the long, unhappy haul. We only get one life, if you're unhappy in your marriage and you tried to fix it multiple times and its useless, gtfo. Don't go with the "well it could be worse, all marriages are like this sometimes."

No, I thought that garbage too. In reality, a true, equal partner (queue up the "GAAAAAAY" meme) is unlike anything this world has to offer. Shits downright magical. Yeah that sounds gay but I'll be damned if that ain't how it is.

I am with you on this. I am certain marriage is not for everyone. Just like having kids is not for everyone. However, even the haters in here simply can't deny that excellent marriages happen. I don't believe there is just one person for you, or soul mates or whatever. Marriage is work, just like every relationship is. But it does happen in some marriages when that work feels good, and is worth it. That is something I would wish on every single person. I'm living it, and I would not have it any other way.

I do understand the power of habits. You get used to your situation, you like your situation, your situation is good. I don't begrudge that to anyone - do what makes you happy and you find fulfilling. Congrats on figuring out what that is.

But let's all agree that it is possible to be happy and fulfilled in marriage, too. It isn't just one or the other being right.

Another story. This happened either March of 2016 or March of 2017, I don't remember which. This is more of a cautionary tale.

I matched with this MILF on Tinder who was 48 and and a health fanatic with a cute body and nice skin. She lived in San Bruno, I lived in Oakland at the time.

We match one evening at like 5 pm. We chat briefly. I ask if she wants to go out sometime, she replies back let's go out tonight. It was a Friday or a Saturday, I was tired, and I had tentative plans to meet up with a friend. So I suggest we go out another night. She responds back "Let's go out tonight or never at all."

So in my mind I'm like "alright, fine, she's eager, let's go with it." San Bruno is like 35-40 minutes away from Oakland depending on traffic. She was cute, I figured if she was this willing to meet up, she probably wants to fuck. On top of that, she asked me to meet her at her HOUSE first, which is almost always a sign, when a woman hasn't even met you yet, she's probably looking to get laid.

I drive to her house in San Bruno around 7. I text her I'm almost there and she's outside with this annoying yapper dog she has walking it.

Chat briefly, we go in her house, she feeds her dog, and we take Uber to a restaurant in Pacifica. Eat and drink there, then she asks me if I want to go bowling, so we go. We drink more there. Go back to her house, both of us are pretty buzzed, a little too much. Neither of us felt so great. We laid on the couch and watched tv. I still wanted to fuck her but I wasn't that worried about it, I more just wanted to sleep. We both go to bed.

Wake up the next morning with a mild hangover around 8 am. She said she's going for a hike with her dog and tells me to sleep in. I end up waking up around 11 AM, and she tells me she wants to get a shower and asks me if I want to help her. So I do, we both go in this big walk in shower stall she has, then we go back to her bed and have sex.

The rest of the day we ended up getting pho later and watched a movie. She says "I have an idea, let's go camping next weekend!

Begin cautionary tale here.

I say okay. We plan to go to camping for two nights in Mendocino. Next weekend comes, we go to the grocery store together, I bring my camping gear, she brings hers, and her annoying fucking dog. We load up in her SUV for the 3-4 hour trip up to Mendocino.

*Don't fucking travel with people you don't know.*

This woman and her dog could NOT have been more obnoxious. I'm the type of person where, usually, everyone around me says "Thank god you were on that trip with us all, you were the only one who wasn't arguing or getting all bent out of shape." I'm very patient and I don't get provoked easily.

From the minute we got there, I start putting my tent up, and she was like...nitpicking me for not putting the stakes in right or something. Then it was something else. Then it was something else. I didn't say anything about it and just let it be the first night and day. To further set the tone, it was fucking cold outside, and raining on and off. There was no sex to be had, because there's no way either of us were going to take our clothes off in that shit, even in the tent, not even a little.

I learned she fawned over her dog at all times, which was awful. Like constantly talking to it, etc.

Second day / night rolls around. Woman keeps making all these weird comments combined with the dog, the cold, everything else.

Mind you we're 3-4 hours away from home. 10 PM second night rolls around. She said like one more thing on top of everything else and I finally snapped and asked why she's been so angry and nitpicky the entire trip while I've been nothing but patient. We end up packing the tent up around 11 PM, in light rain, in 35-40 degree weather, and drive back to her place in San Bruno. Got there at like 2-3 AM, I was tired as fuck, and then made the trip back to Oakland and got there at like 5 AM.

Man I'm dumb sometimes.
