    Ah don't get me wrong... it was great in the beginning. But Tar changed quickly, and life became boring and repeatitive after not too long. Anal every night :rolleyes:
    Ahh bless. Size issues are sensitive for guys. :D

    OP? Yep. A lot do. Both genders.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    This is the main reason the thought of taking out a Mortgage with someone sends shivers of dread down my spine.

    Are you not only like 18? :confused: That'd be one reason why big committments such as mortgage/kids/marriage would send shivers down your spine. :pac:

    Some folks so desperately want the house, kids, and such that all that's more important than who they get it with.

    Some folks do just settle out of fear or loneliness.

    .

    Some people will settle with who comes along first ,with the expectations of getting the house ,kids

    Some will get to a certain age it might be 27 ,with some 37 ,others much older and if not in a relationship begin to panic a bit so in absense of mr/mrs right will settle for somebody .... anybody to fill the vacum rather than the fear of living their lives alone.

    Never settle when it comes to personality.

    Some people say life's too short, I say it can be too fucking long in the wrong company.

    Amen -How many people utter those sentiments

    Right on the money as usual Pete. If you're gonna be around someone for the long haul, it needs to be someone that you can have the laughs with.

    I tried the marraige thing with the wrong person, and fuck me was I miserable. I was with him a while, and in hindsight I went through with it because I figured thats just what you do after a while isn't? Well guess what.. no it isn't.... =/

    Must be quite of people who are in this situation ,thinking this is it , '' you made your bed now lay in it ' 'excepting it as the norm but really feel suffocated and cant or are afraid to make that break away .

    I guess the older you are and longer and more commited you are into the marriage with the kids etc ,it must be harder to make the break even though that's what you really want .I have a relative who after 30 years of marriage recently got divorced but could so easly have done so 15 years earlier .

    I'm 19, committment of any kind freaks me out. I wouldn't even buy a billpay phone because of the contract.

    Some people settle, because they think thats the best they're going to get.

    Some people love somebody so much that it would break their own heart to see them hurt or upset. Sometimes it's just easier to not say anything because you want to keep the emotional pain to a minimal.

    32 years married to the same woman myself, for the first twenty years I was in love with a new woman each week ... I never did anything about it though, I throw that in as I believe all men would have the same feelings.

    Speak for yourself please

    What is to settle? To make a commitment to one person??

    Reality check: every married couple & long term couple have settled.

    Considering that no one is perfect - if you're holding out for some Hollywood romance/teenage infatuation good luck with that.
    Don't hold your breath too long.
