Mirage222 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 Here is the short of it all... Been together 2.5 years. Great relationship seriously too. I talk marriage for the first time.. he says doesn't want marraige. All along I feel like we were building a foundation to achieve marraige.. he is late 30's, me early 30's... I see this as a problem. Maybe this should be in the marriage section but .. here is my questions.. What is so great about marriage? What isn't? Would you stay in a great relationship even if it will never be a binding commitment? Please help. I am lost...
tearful_soul22 Posted April 25, 2006 Posted April 25, 2006 first of all it's great to hear you been together that long. not many can achieve that. but in regards to your question, sorry i can't be of any help to you as i've never been married, lol. perhaps someday..when all the old wounds have healed, i might. personally, i don't see myself staying in a relationship without binding commitment but...it's different for everybody. for some it works, others it doesn't. so i guess, it's a matter of personal choice. anyways, goodluck to you and best wishes as you travel down the road of life!!
refelect Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 does he have the money to get married? For me I cant get married cos im not in that financial bracket. My main financial priority is getting into the realestate market, $30k for a deposit. Weddings are about $20k plus the ring. If he doesnt have that sort of money to spare on a piece of paper and loved ones recognition, he could verry well be avioding marrige for now untill he has the financial backing to propose to you.
