Good point, Steve. Kinda considering myself passed the old MR at this point so my viewpoint has shifted somewhat.

I meant it more inthe context of "single guys out for a good time" versus "guys that wait and are in it for the long haul"

Maybe I'm just too old school haha

I think most of the male posters on this site are relationship guys, that was my point. I am as about pro-marriage/anti-divorce as you can get!


Ah, I get you now. I was a little confused - not trying to insinuate anything about anyone here or not here. Just a general feeling of malaise at the current societal "accepted norms" on my part. All good now smile

Anyway, that's what things have come to, a lot of people don't believe in loyalty and integrity and don't even believe it exists anymore.


I very much agree, AS.
I'm really not fond of the disposable society ideals that exist today. IMO If you get married and say those words, that is a contract and a bond that you made. Make sure that you have thought about what you are going to say and what saying those words entails.

Mean it. If something isn't working, work on it. Dont just throw it away. Try. Do something different. At least then if you've done all you can possibly do and it still doesnt work out, you know you gave it your all.

Maybe it's the ex-military mindset, or maybe my way of thinking is out of date. But it would be nice to be able to trust that someone has your back no matter what.

Rant over - sorry Des smile

Stay strong!
