Quote From: theresa1933Why is everyone so afraid of a little piece of paper...we sign things all the time. Checks...aren't we women worth more than a check ... or what? It just makes me wonder why we are so afraid of it...leaving can happen but so can dying...don't you want to say I love you for all time on a little note...that is legal? Love is more...when it is more than just from the heart...it is declared for all
time to all to see...you will be remembered on that paper by all future generations that you have to follow you...to see how much you loved...not just words but on a piece of paper...this is one subject that is my pet peeve...all the great poets are gone when no one wants to sign a little piece of paper.
But why is it SO important, yes we sign things all the time, and like I said if that's what you WANT then by all means, DO IT, but not everyone wants that or feels they need it.
For some, yes it is fear, but I also said to be UPFRONT, What my husband and I are doing by the way ( see one of my pet peeves are people who judge us and get on us about that piece of paper) is PERFECTLY LEGAL in this country.
I love him and he loves me, and if no one else BELIVES that, well whatever, I make no justifacations or apologies for our relashionship, I was pointing out that there are those of us that really don't need witnesses to say that oh yes, they love each other, because it is naive to think that that paper really means much these days, again I point to the 50% divorce rate in BOTH countries.
