Of course, I also had the strong feeling that it would never work out and she'd be one to suck me dry if we divorced so it's a good thing we didn't  .
However, I also feel that if it's mutual and not just because one person is perstering the other, then marriage is most definitely NOT over-rated... But, how often do people actually get married for the right reasons?
I guess to summarize:
Over-rated: Most marriages, especially those that last less than 5 years
Under-rated: Long-lasting marriages that came about the right way and for the right reasons |
For me if the girl I'm with has always wanted to get married and it gets to the point where I think she's the one I want to spend the rest of my life with then I'm all for it but if she could care less like me then I wouldnt even bother.
I know my friend should get alot of blame for accepting and I was pretty dissapointed in her because I thought she was smarter than that and would laugh in a guy's face but her ex was stupid enough to propose to her 6 months after they started dating. I dont care whether you're 18 or 28 a guy should know better and not screw with a girl's head like that. If it really is meant to be then 4-5 years down the road you'll still be together and you can think about doing it then.
