My Girlfriend

[Andromeda18_]

Heh... one of my friends wanted to take his wife's last name when they got married but apparently you don't get that free like you do if a woman wants to take her husbands name. Kind of messed up.

That's really unfair! People keep demanding equal rights but if there isn't equality in such a small matter then we still have a long way to go!

Personally, as much as I still love my wife, I probably wouldn't have gotten married if it weren't for the fact that she lived in another country. I believe in just living together for as long as you want. The problem was that I REALLY wanted to live with my wife (still do) at the time and the only way we figured to accomplish that was to get married. We did do a trial run where I stayed here on a visitors visa for six months and that settled the matter... here we are... 8 years later and still happily married and with a beautiful little girl.

I'm like you Zagatto, I believe in just living together as well. I mean, if you're a religious person then marrying makes sense because a religious ceremony will be performed and you'll be married with God's blessing. However, if you're not a religious person what's the difference between being married and just living together? Some signature's on a piece of paper?



Nina, I was born when my mother was still 19 and because of that there was a lot she could have done and didn't. Of course things were different back then but I still think you should enjoy your youth. If you have a baby at 30, by the time he/she's 16 you'll only be 46, that's not being old.
