People get married for all sorts of reasons, (including love, I'm led to believe.) but in many cultures, as you know Victor, arranged marriages can't be avoided and there must be millions of folk trapped in desperate wedlock who cannot escape by deciding to divorce. Not all young couples have the freedom of choice that you, your partner and most of us enjoy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted Tuesday at 09:54 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:54 (edited) I like weddings tbh. I think most people, in this country anyway, get married because they love their partner and want to build their lives together. They might have a big wedding because they want to share it with their friends and family. Edited Tuesday at 10:26 by ICTChris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s also the small matter of everything costing several times more than it should simply because the word “Wedding” was mentioned and everyone involved adjusted their quote upwards accordingly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted Tuesday at 11:17 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:17 (edited) This conversation has taken a bit of turn into the cul de sac of merits or otherwise of marriage vs cohabiting. Somebody must have better stories about their philandering boss getting caught with the wee durty from accounts six months after they both mysteriously made an early exit from the Christmas party, Shirley?

Cosmic Joe Posted Tuesday at 11:19 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:19 (edited) Weddings don't have to cost a fortune. Ours cost next to nothing. I was the DJ at the reception. Up there as one of the best days of my life, and we're still together after 34 years. Edited Tuesday at 11:20 by Cosmic Joe 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted Tuesday at 11:20 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:20 I can't fathom the effort it would take to keep an affair going. Trying to keep all the plates spinning would be exhausting and not worth the hassle. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted Tuesday at 11:38 Share Posted Tuesday at 11:38 18 hours ago, ICTChris said: The YouGov poll earlier covered this, responses below - overall result then Male and Female respones. 1% say that none of having sex, having oral sex, sex with a prostitute, kissing, webcam sex, sexting or having an emotional relationship is cheating, wtf. Women seem to have a lower bar for what they consider an affair than men. If your partner dictates who you can and cannot form an emotional relationship with then that sounds like a particularly grim relationship to be in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who found out their married partner was having an affair on Christmas Eve. The partner had been promoted at work and had been struggling to cope, taking to drinking heavily every night and passing out. That night the couple were watching a movie on their iPad in bed when a text message came through clearly indicating that the newly promoted partner had been having a sexual relationship with their new boss. They were having Christmas with the partners family and the exposed cheating partner begged to get through the day and deal with it afterwards, which they did - they got through the day and then split up the the next day. My friend didn’t report their ex, as the work they do doesn’t really allow relationships between managers and employees. Best just to move on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly the same but I've often wondered how those Mormon dudes with 4 wives & sets of kids do it. They must all have Ph.D's in project management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
