Well, thanks, but you're kind of disrupting the "mood." Maybe I should try browsing there without constantly checking back here.skunk said:

Of course not. Your beauty only makes me wish I were your type. I meant I was getting wider.vniow said:Are you saying I look fat?!?
You mean you have a bulge at the equator? That's only normal if you rotate. Maybe you should see your planetary dietitian.jsw said:Of course not. Your beauty only makes me wish I were your type. I meant I was getting wider.

takao you are still very young. You still have time to find that special young lady. Didn't meet my wife till I was 23, almost 24. Got married at 24.
The duration was inspiring, but I have to say that the age of which you met here is even more so! I realize I am still quite young at 21, but everyone I know has met their soulmates at least a few years previous now which can get depressing at times
. Thanks for showing yet again glimpses of hope.CanadaRAM said:

I thought I had met my soulmate when I was 18. That lasted 6 years and turned out to be wrong. Most people are getting married in their late twenties now, so don't worry about it. 21 is way too young to be getting married.

One for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, I'm four....go go go!

I thought I had met mine when I was 18. She was five years older than me but things were wonderful for nearly 1.5 years. Well that ended and left me where I am now, although the last couple of years have been a revelation as far as realizing potential and gaining confidence. Always nice to hear successful stories, they help provide that light at the end of a seemingly long tunnel. As far as getting married, well I only put WTM as a gateway to WTF
, not entirely, but more or less.

Yes, you are.
I mean, you use a MAC, for cripe's sake. What did you expect!? Just give it time, you'll turn homo in a few years.I'm not straight, but my wife and newborn baby are.
(Just kidding. I'm straight, but perfectly comfortable with my sexuality; no need for macho car, no problem including a 'gay bar' in a birthday party for a gay friend.)

I don't believe in soulmates, but my wife and I were 20 when we got married, and it certainly wasn't too young. It amazes me how many people in their late 20's get married and still can't make it work.

If I cared more I would take offense to that. I don't think making it work has anything to do with age, or if any not the majority of it. Making it work takes work from both sides and a genuine love to for one another, wanting to survive and thrive.
I think 18yr olds and 34yr olds alike, and all the gaps save for extremely young, can make it work, it is all a function of how they get along and how bad they want it to work. Just because the late 20's crowd around can't seem to survive doesn't mean that entire population at that point can't, perhaps all of those people just don't want to get married and are just WTF friends

My bf and I are sort of high school sweethearts in that we were both seniors and got together right at the end of senior year-- he was 18, and I was about to be 18. It's been 3, almost 3.5 years now. I don't want your scenario to become our reality.
Where was all this talk in my marriage thread?!anonymous161 said:
Anyway, if we judge by the divorce rates in the US, then there are definitely more people getting married earlier and later than just 'late 20s' and there are more couples splitting at later ages than just the 'late 20s.' So I definitely agree w/ efoto's post. ^^If you both stay in love and put effort into making it work, I wouldn't worry about you staying together. I really do believe that it is a matter of true love and effort, but I'm hopeless, so that could be old-school style thinkingdevilot76 said:*Covering hands over ears/eyes* NOOOOOOO!

I personally think the reason for increased divorce rates is because people are putting less time into getting to know one another and more time into getting married for all of the other benefits (not to mean solely sex, as few couples wait these days anyhow). I don't have numbers for global marriage/divorce rates, and I really don't want to be depressed today so I don't want them, but if someone could simply summarize America's divorce rates vs. the rest of the globe, I would be interested. I think it is pretty sad how little effort some couples put into things, and how little love some married people have for each other.

Catching up on this thread on a quiet Friday. You definitely still sound Kiwi! Then again, I have friends in Scotland who swear I sound English and I can imagine how accurate you think that is!

Eesh... so was I the other night. Was giving myself a French manicure and reading MR between layers.
<nodding vigorously in agreement> About 4+ years ago, I was surfing through tv channels and stopped at Oprah (couldn't help myself-- I swear, I've got to get onto her show for 'Gift Day!')... it was a special episode featuring Dr. Phil on marital issues.efoto said:
One couple... didn't even talk about having children before getting engaged and then married?!?!?!?!?!?! DAHHHHH!!!!!! Lunacy! Okay, whatever, if both parties felt wishy-washy on the matter, whatever, but of course; one spouse desperately wanted children while the other spouse could barely even utter the word. <shaking head> There were other ridiculous scenarios...
Hee, my bf likes his back scratched (in a non sexual way, you perverts) and I hate the thought of dead skin cells accumulating underneath my nails as I do so-- the solution? If he wants his back scratched, I want acrylic nails w/ a lovely French manicure. Sigh. As we're both broke college students, he only gets his back scratched maybe a month or two out of the year.Applespider said:
P.S. I'm not that mean, I will scratch... psh. I should just look into buying a back scratcher for him.
