09/26 Marry Me or Else!
Quote From: bettyd55I too have been with my significant other since June '93. We'd both left bad 9 yr. marriages, & he said he never wanted to marry again. He was up front, never played games, nor strung me along. While I wouldn't say no if he asked me to marry him today, I am content, loved, taken care of, & at this point don't need the paper that says we're TOGETHER. He bought us a house, & God forbid anything happen to him, I am taken care of for the rest of my days if I'm 'widowed'. Our kids are grown, we see them all the time, & we love our grandkids. I am 51 & he is 42. If Dennis was up front from the beginning, then it was her choice to stay, KNOWING he didn't want marriage...she could have said forget it from the start, and moved on to find 'the marrying type'. As for me, I have been more blessed than any woman I know...we love, we talk, we laugh, & most important, we NEVER argue, nor have we ever used foul language to one another. He even still holds my hand through stores & parking lots, & we always cuddle 'after'... :-)) Diane betty55 I think you just described my life. Although we have only been together since 98 I personally have tried marriage 3 times and I have NEVER been happier than I am today. We don't talk about getting married because we feel we are married to each other already. The only thing missing is a simple piece of paper. Who needs a piece of paper to be happy. But to each their own.
