k-dubjumps 0 #26 July 30, 2009 Quote Not true ... I'm not ... and probably never will again. (I say probably because I'm such an idiot hopeless romantic I see myself falling head over heels for someone and get stupid again ... like, believe the "he'll love and respect me" ... until a slutty friend will come along for him to fuck ). O I've been married and divorced once. I definitely don't need to do it again. Not saying that I won't ever, but I don't NEED to. Coming to the realization that I don't NEED it and can be pletty happy just being with someone I care about has made my life a much better place. When it comes down to it, does a piece of paper really matter so long as you've got trust and love?Adrenaline is my crack DPH #3 D.S. #16 FAG #12 Muff Brother #4406 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OlympiaStoica 0 #28 July 30, 2009 QuoteWhen it comes down to it, does a piece of paper really matter so long as you've got trust and love? Unfortunately, in my personal experience, that “piece of paper” seemed to matter a lot … taking me, my loyalty and dedication to the relationship and everything I do, for granted, has been almost instantaneous once I signed that piece of paper. The 1st husband treated me like a piece of property that nobody can even look at … the 2nd one treated me like an idiot that will stand by him forever, no matter how disrespectful he got. One can say that I just chose poorly (probably true) … but still believe that the marriage certificate make it more likely for people to take each other for granted.

First it was "everyone's in a serious relationship except me.." Then it was "everyone but me is getting married.." Followed by the "all my friends are having babies and I'm not.." And finally it's getting to the stage where "I'm the only one not (getting) divorced.."

If they're all getting divorced it sound like you are back even again. Maybe even ahead as you don't have the "baggage" of kids or an ex husband. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
