anybody else thinks marriages are stupid and flawed ? [I Relationships And Dating]

humans are humans.. this whole idea of being in an exclusive relationships with someone long term is likely to have issues and eventually cheating. we are only human. marriage isn't human nature, it's just a made up social construct.

Disagree, being married, faithful and devoted builds, deepens, and makes the relationship all the more fulfilling.

To have one person, who knows you intimately, knows your flaws, fears etc, and still loves you is the most rewarding and fulfilling experience you can have as an adult.

@empanadas It is brother. I remember reading something awhile ago, that making the correct choice in whom you spend your life with is one of the most important decisions you make.

It literally dictates so many other experiences you will have, kids, money, vacation, family, career, faith, etc.

I love marriage.
I have been very blessed to be married to the only woman I've ever been with for 42 years.
Marriage is not a requirement, it's an option. Don't get married if you don't believe in it, or have no intention of being faithful.
Marriage provides a stable foundation for partners and children, financial advantages and legal protections.

@JoePourMan yes, i see the benefits when raising a kid. a child needs both parents regardless of what the media is pushing. i hope to have something what you have, i just don't see it with the generation i'm in. it's more about how can this person benefit me vs actually caring about someone.

I'm not married but I'm in a committed relationship and I have been in an open relationship before.. Overall I prefer the committed relationship I'm in.

As much as I get urges or see people I'm attracted to, this relationship is about more than sex and I wouldn't jeopardise it by going elsewhere.

youre correct. its a made up social construct. but almost everything in society is. not all social constructs are bad. not peeing the public pool is one

NeloAngelo · 26-30, M

while i disagree about all long term relationships lead to cheating and that you can remain with one person i do agree marriage is an archaic practice and a huge waste of money. average uk weddings are usually £15,000 at the low end. feck that for what is essentially a giant party.

empanadas · 31-35, M

@NeloAngelo 15k for a low end marriage. might as well buy a home

There's reasons for it outside of a social construct. The bigger issue, as I see it, is the lack of acknowledgement that marriage is nothing more than a business contract in the eyes of the law. Without understanding that, a whole lot of people end up paying big penalties.

Marriage can be great, but a break once in a while would be nice, too.

Agree, getting married young is the worst thing a man can do, tying yourself to one person your entire life is just asking for trouble, then signing a marriage contract that says you lose most everything when the marriage goes bad is just well, bad... if you insist on being married, wait until you are near 40 and then sign a pre-nup
