Growing old.... single and alone... | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27531391 12/09/2012 12:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Everyone tells me how smart I was to not get tangled up in a marriage. I know so many men whose lives are destroyed because of psychotic ex-wives and the resulting divorce. Even a guy in know in his 60's is ready to toss his bi-polar live-in girlfriend out because he can't take her anymore. Another man in his 70's should be retired as he doesn't need to work anymore, but he goes to work every day to just hang out and get out of the house and away from his wife. |

Some of the previous lives everyone has lived include; Lots of offspring, Lots of lovers, Lots of solitude, Lots of loneliness, Lots of violence. Lots of prejudice, Lots of murdering, Lots of raping, Lots of wealth, Lots of destitution, etc etc. Earth itself has a history beyond comprehension.

The problem seems to be with the requirements that she not be Tonsafun or raving democrat, and be able to live in a materialisticaly deprived environment. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5676214 I don't mind a few extra pounds but your other two points are deal=breakers for me as well. There ARE women who aren't materialistic but yes, they are raving liberals. |

Being unable to receive/discharge one's electrically charged body via any sort of touching. Even animals know/do this by rubbing against each other periodically .

| TDJ User ID: 26423286 12/09/2012 02:01 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have been married and lived alone. Each has it's advantages. Hard to work and keep a house up and a yard and pay the bills and do laundry all yourself. Takes a lot of time. But doing all that for yourself and somebody else is hard too. I like being alone but you need a person to call or go to eat with sometimes to keep rooted in reality or your own head becomes your reality and that can be dangerous The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government."

I remember reading about that study. this will come as a surprise to all the women-hating glp men, i know. but marriage benefits men more than women, on average. |
