why would you marry someone? /lit/

ive seen many of you say you are married on this board but i just dont see why'd voluntarily chain yourself to a person who seems destined to make your life hell eventually. were you just being irrational and thought you were 'in 'love' or?

i would love to hear your stories.

Weddings are every little girl's dream. Women are essentially materialist, even before fully grown.

[Anonymous No.1855250]

I think people get married because they are bored and can't entertain themselves alone without "some significant other". I pity those people.

I don't wanna get married. I don't even wanna start family. But I'm well aware that my point of view could easily change while I grow older.

It won't though.

Money.

I don't have a pension, any family, and I grew up dirt poor, so I married a woman with a rather wealthy father so one day I'll have a couple of houses, and a million quid in the bank.

i think they meant if you're still early days in parenting then its a bit too premature to say you enjoy it.
dont you feel extremely claustrophobic being married -and- with family children though? is that why you come here?

[Anonymous No.1855317]

i wouldn't mind being married. but married for the rest of my life? to me it seems more temporary. not a stormy affair, but just something where you enjoy it then part ways for a next phase of life. perhaps this could be summed up as 'long-term dating'.

My daughter's 8 and I've been married 15 years.

I come here because I work at a desk most of the day, supervising people at a library, and have chunks of time waiting for work stuff to move along.

Are you at home right now? If so, why aren't you out there living a life and getting your answers that way instead of posting your loaded questions here on 4chan?

both are pretty short to be saying you'll always enjoy it. i'd wait until your daughter is mid-teens at least, not sure about marriage. dont you worry about the possibly you might regret it. im not sure how easy stuff like that is to get out of.

>If so, why aren't you out there living a life and getting your answers that way instead of posting your loaded questions here on 4chan?
you honestly think married couples are going to be straight-up honest with me if they regret their decision to? same with parenting. and im at home because its evening where i am.

Being a tripfag in general isn't good for you. I suppose I'm just compounding my problems. There's a lot inherently wrong with anyone who tripfags in the first place.

ok even assuming that ridiculous statement makes sense, doesnt it make you more pathetic to spend your time posting following around people that do this and hating them for it also? hmm...

[satago110 No.1855343]

>>1855299
But ok, to answer your question about feeling claustrophobic....yeah, I guess some people, maybe a lot of people, feel that way. I think a lot of people get married for the wrong reasons. They're connecting it with security or some other self validation. And they spend a mint on a big fancy wedding to make it so true and lovely.

Marriage itself doesn't make you more secure, or loved, or any of that Hallmark bullshit. And yeah, it;s work. And yeah, there are things you and your spouse will disagree harshly on. But neither my wife or I were looking for or expecting some BS soft-focus On Golden Pond BS.
But...did you ever see Kick_Ass? Well, it's sorta like that. You're on a team, you're both doing the best you can, and when I need someone with skills in an area I don't have, I'm covered, and vice versa. But you're both human and you fuck it up sometimes.

what's your problem with it?

[Anonymous No.1855471]

People get married because we're socialized into wanting to marry. There no inherent reason to spend the rest of your life with someone through the ritual that is marriage.

Also, love is a social construction. It doesn't "exist", but that doesn't mean people shouldn't believe in it.
