    i hear yah about the outside pressure thing. Both our parents wanted us to get married and have kids after the 2nd or 3rd year we were together :D But we got married when we were good and ready and our parents were smart enough to not push the subject. If we had gotten married when they wanted us to get married, I honestly don't know if we'd still be together. The wedding itself was really stressful and took a strain on our relationship. She was 21 when our parents started pushing us to get hitched. I don't know if her temperament back then could have handled all the stuff that comes with planning weddings.

    OH, HAY, GUISE! ;)

    I'm enjoying this.

    Were y'all that weak-minded? I don't think so, my ninja. :eek: Don't be blamin' peer pressure...

    Age has nothing to do with it, but you might be on to something in regards to age. There are MANY mid-30 people with more immaturity than yours and mine put together.

    It's immaturity and the inability to realize that marriage is a strong bond that shouldn't be broken, ever. I don't believe a certain AGE or a certain RELIGION has anything to do with this.

    People take the easy road (marriage) in and take the easy road out (divorce) without even thinking about the consequences. By the time they're done, you've got to split money, kids, other stuff like property, friends, etc.

    "'Till death do us part" has become "until we both can't stand each other."

    Some people fight through the rough patches but MOST are lazy *sses. :eek:

    That's so cute! I was eagerly awaiting a judgmental and from-on-high post from Swoly-D! Making the world a better place, merely by dispensing largely ignored dingleberries of wisdom on the internet.

    I am not disappoint. :)

    Your constant judging of others is really an ugly sight. You have no idea what the people were thinking in getting married or divorced.

    you should be careful about calling someone lazy when you don't know the whole story.

    seriously, think just a little.

    A little? The pope does all his thinking for him.

    I'm not even gonna bother responding to that.

    Immaturity is an understatement. I'm 27 and still feel 12 on a regular basis

    The Pope? Nah-uh, yo. He and I are cool, but... no, he doesn't decide anything for me. I do.
    That's true; I have NO IDEA and I will NEVER know. :eek:

    I can tell you why I haven't gotten a divorce. My kids.

    And as far as me thinking or deciding things for Swoly.... He apparently doesn't need any ones help making a fool of himself.

    It's not fair to kids to have divorced parents.

    it's not fair to kids to live in a tumultuous household.
