Well WolfenMachine, you’re getting all sorts of ideas and stories of what love is and what it isn’t. I’ve enjoyed reading these stories and have even shared mine for all to ponder. I guess with all this technology we now have at our finger tips, we can expose ourselves to many things and some of it not so good.
I’m going to keep it simple: throw away all the notions you see in TV, the media, the internet or what some know it all magazines has to say about love, sex, relationships. Personally I feel that as humans beings we have been degraded by all these mediums. That’s why we have high divorce rates, eating disorders, sex disorders, relationship flops and the like. They make us not happy with ourselves and if we aren’t happy with ourselves how are we going to be happy in any relationship? All that stuff you read and hear about normal weight, normal sex, normal relationships etc, etc, etc is a bunch of COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF POOOOO! 😡 👿
Relationships are about respect for each other–far cry from what you get off the internet and certain TV shows. It’s about giving of yourself–if you don’t want to do something nice for anyone then don’t get into a relationship! You have to form a bond that will carry you through both good, bad and downright ugly times! It’s sad how high the divorce rate is–that is so emotionally damaging. Personally, I think people go into these relationships with high expectations of what it should be. Of course, we’re just human and will always falls short of any expectations. Like I said in my own story–ACCEPT EACH OTHER FOR WHO YOU ARE! That is the best gift to can give to anyone! Think of marriage as a life long bond–to do otherwise has already undermined the marriage. And ACCEPT YOURSELVES FOR WHO YOU ARE–that way you can move forward and not be dragged down worrying about your appearance, weight, financial status and the such.
No one can make you happy–only you can make yourself happy. I think then, you’ll attract the right people in your life and hopefully, someone to join you in your jouney through life. :yes:

What on earth is that point of that?
Extra money known as Separation Pay.Aha. Thanks, Pegasi.

Unfortunately, yes. Another name for them are pre nuptual agreements. Personally, I don’t see a reason why a very young couple should sign one of these–I thought it was for us older folks who remarry and want to make sure their assets pass on to their children, Either way, it’s depressing to think of a divorce when you’re about to get married.
Personally, after my husband’s death, I don’t want to remarry, but this would be a big obstacle if I were planning to. And I know certain individuals who treat their spouses like crap when there is one signed–usually the person who has the most assets is the one who dishes out the crap. I guess they feel secure to dump on their ‘beloved’ because they feel they can’t be taken to the cleaners! How pathetic! :negative:
I think what she meant was — people actually think about bonus money coming in and plan to dump their relationship before it arrives.
