[ohiosmith]

[MissMillie]

1. nobody wants me

I haven't come close

[billyskank]

[KG]

2. twice since i got divorce i've asked women to marry me. they both said yes, then backed out

i can take a hint. i'm never asking again. :(

[Sugar Smack]

11. Well then, marry me. You got anything else better to do?

;)

[KG]

15. ok, honey, let's get hitched!

[Sugar Smack]

:rofl:

[KG]

23. I likes my peace and quiet.

i'm doomed to growing old in a cold lonely apt, forsaken. :cry:

[Sugar Smack]

24. What if we don't get married, then, and I just give you a puppy?

[KG]

[LanternWaste]

3. Setting a date for the wedding

"What is the closest you came to tying the knot?"
I got as far as two and half months prior to the wedding.

"What stopped you?"
I saw some ugly things in her for the first time I knew I wouldn't be able to live with...
like whoring around like the common tramp she was-- do I sound bitter? Good. :evilgrin:

[ohiosmith]

6. bitter! naw!

[Parche]

4. Days

They married another..............:shrug: :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

5. i have fled countries twice to avoid knot tying. hopefully this time i wont flee.

i acknowledge freely that i have commitment issues/

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. I do too

That hasn't kept me from tying the knot though. So count yourself as smarter than me! :-)

[raccoon]

27. I do too. Which is why I've never married. nt

[IndianaJones]

7. marriage is a coffin....each kid is another nail. nt.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. lol. arent you one nail away from suffocation?

[IndianaJones]

17. Only 3 nails. Shallow breaths. Theres always that Uma Thurman karate action too. nt.

[bikebloke]

9. Loonie tune

My partner-to-be were dancing around the subject. I was nodding along. Then one day she confessed. After being together with all that sensual activity and feeling so good, she then felt terribly guilty for it. Catholic guilt. Common sense woke me up - Ciao!

And to think I turned down casual sex offers from other women when I was with her. I regretted being a good guy in the end.

During my travels, I'd had offers so I could live in Europe or New Zealand. I wised away from some, while circumstances prevented others.

[Lorien]

10. Engaged. But then he ripped off the mask

and revealed the abusive misogynist beneath.

[Sugar Smack]

14. Same HERE. Although under his mask was his MOM.

I mean, how dare I? :hug: :yourock: , Lorien.

[WolverineDG]

13. He cheated on me & I found out about it n/t

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

49. atleast you didn't walk in on it, that happened to my best friend.

just two months from the day,

[SteppingRazor]

20. The closest I've come would be every day. I'm getting married Nov. 24. n/t

[IndianaJones]

21. your sunning on the rain in this thread. nt.

[SteppingRazor]

22. Hey, can I help it if I found a gorgeous, brilliant woman...

who not only puts up with all of my wicked, wicked ways, but actually finds them amusing? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. I was engaged when I was 25

Announcement in the paper and everything.

About a year later I lost my job, then my confidence. Started drinking, became an asshole, etc. etc. etc.

It was better that way, though. She married a 400-pound alcoholic redneck, moved to New Mexico and subsequently became a bitter redneck herself. (She actually told me she blew a guy at a sports-talk radio station for hockey tickets.)

[kwassa]

29. how could you give up a classy woman like that?

You just don't find one everyday.

:nuke:

[TK421]

32. She must be a HUGH hockey fan

:D

[GirlinContempt]

30. A couple of months.

Cold feet, on his part. And for the best.

[supernova]

31. Tied the knot, then untied the knot

after 10 years of manipulation and verbal abuse.

It involved shoving butts out of doors (instead of throwing them down three stories of stairs) and lawyers (no guns) and MY money.

edit: That was 10 years ago. I've only in the past couple of years decided that dating might, MIGHT be a decent idea again. I'm not bitter; just scared to repeat that mistake.

[judaspriestess]

33. I have been in two long term relationships

it seemed like we were married already. We lived together. I'm glad I never married my ex, we would have wound up in divorce. It was just not a dire need for me. Then I was single and commitment free for about five years and was enjoying myself.

And then my fiancee came along. We've been together going on five years but have still not gotten married. We will get married probably be next spring.

[billyskank]

35. BWAHAHAHAHA

I'm going to die alone.

[Sugar Smack]

36. SHETcho mouth.

:P Me too, if I can't get "Charlie Brown"'s affection at work.

[billyskank]

39. Well it's true

Don't want it that way, but I don't have much energy to lie to myself today.

I don't see why it should be true for you.

[Sugar Smack]

40. Well, I don't see how it should be true for you, either.

I think there should maybe be a "Hello Kitty" forum for the likes of us. Anyway, you have one hell of a beautiful mouth. And eyes, and nose. And attitude.

[ceile]

41. Second the beautiful mouth and eyes!

There's someone out there for you-don't give up.
You know, you really should have made your way to TX on your trip....:evilgrin:

[Parche]

37. Naked and Alone?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[billyskank]

38. Only if I die in the bath.

:(

[bicentennial_baby]

48. Nah baby, you can come live with us...

We'll be all old and make my future kids take care of us three. :D

:woohoo:

:*

[billyskank]

52. If I liked guys too I totally would.

:hug:

[ceile]

42. On my second engagement.

Didn't set a date for the first one, haven't set one for this one. We keep saying it's because we're broke, but I'm beginning to think maybe we'll never get married. My sis dated her husband for 10 years before they tied the knot. So, I'm in no hurry.

[Bucky]

43. After years of carrying on a correspondence romance with a good Christian lady...

...she came out on visitor's day to finally meet me and I told her what I was really in for. She never spoke to me again. No matter how many times I've emailed her that long distance photo I took of her parents. Pfff, women these days...

[FuzzySlippers]

51. You are so demented....in a good way.

:rofl:

Seriously, your posts often crack me up. :D

[CatholicEdHead]

44. Engaged

She went psycho this summer and all paranoid towards my parents. It was an extreme-control freak/smothering personality which did not come out previously. Her way or the highway, so highway it was.

Edit: It was turned into nothing BUT the wedding, like it was some magic cure. Nothing mattered but keeping on schedule for planning (which was WAY ahead of schedule). Jeckel and Hyde when the ring went on.

[Javaman]

45. Sanity stopped me. nt

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

46. she wanted a pet, not a husband

I fell for a woman who had money and I can honestly say I didn’t care about the money. She made her money in .com’s then went to do charity legal work representing poor fathers in child custody cases. However as she got older and richer she became extremely possessive and I wasn’t looking to be a kept man. Had she wanted children it would have been a pretty simple economic equation that I should stay at home with them – but she didn’t. She literally wanted me as a pet.

I still really care for her, she is the most caring and generous person I have ever met, but she came to see the rejection of financial support as a rejection of her.

[ohiosmith]

47. All I can say is DUDE!

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

50. All I can say is "Sunset Blvd"
