I haven’t been in a romantic relationship with a woman my whole life. I am curious. I have had a girl as a friend. Also I was in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship with a girl on this site for around a week or two. But it was over the phone and we didn’t see each other in person. So it didn’t really count. What is your opinion on being married?

I don’t have enough experience with marriage to tell you for sure at this point.
I’ll let you know in a year.
It probably depends a lot on the individual though. Depends how high a value you put on your independence and how high a value you put on a partner to love.
They each have their selling points.

I have heard that men live longer, like 5 years longer if they are married. I don’t know how long though.

They say the same thing about pets extending your life as well. Can you have pets where you are @Jake ?

Sorry I accidentally erased that post. It said, I have heard that men live longer if they are married. Five years longer. I don’t know how long you have to be married for this to happen though.

I think there are pros and cons to being married/not married.
I suppose it’s what suits you most.
Living with another person can be incredibly hard.
Perhaps it’s too early for me to comment on this post as I just came out of a serious relationship……but at the moment for me personally it’s better to not be married.
I have 2 children with my ex…..
I won’t be dating anyone else now or entering a relationship. Partly because of the way I was treated with him, partly because I don’t want to invite any man into my kids lives and partly because I’m enjoying being single.

I don’t want to ever get married.

Isn’t the only benefit just for taxes? Other than that marriage is just something on paper, bureaucracy if you will. I don’t see the point.

You can also be in a relationship without being married.

We are getting no financial benefit from gettting married. Wife will likely lose her medicaid because we chose to go the official route. We are likely going to have to get supplemental insurance in case she has to have a surgery. I cant see how any tax benefit is going to outweigh that negative.

Financially, it may have been wiser for us to just live together.

I think the love between a boyfriend and girlfriend can be just as or even more stronger than a husband and wife love.
I’ve seen so many divorces around me through out the years.
I think marriage is kind of a trap. And some people simply do it because everyone else in society does it.

That sucks, I’m sorry to hear. German healthcare is great here. Next year I’m in a 10-year relationship. Another con is getting married is expensive. And if ■■■■ hits the fan good luck getting out of that marriage again. Maybe it’s just my nihilism but my gf also doesn’t see a point in it.
