Goal-

Make it a 19 year old Russian. That way you can have the K*ds AND get the divorce before she is 21.

Rocco

when she tells you about one of the del rey girl's who married
a gringo, tell her you'll marry her if she wins the lottery
and have her send you five dollars a week to play for the both of you!

at least then you both win the lottery and not just her.

or she could pass on the cein and you could play the lottery with it!!!!



i met this cute woman from uruguay last week in north carolina;
a gringo offerred to marry her to help her out with papers, i think
he was a little captivated by her. after two months she told him
not to touch her anymore, she just married him to get the papers.

he is a retired electrical engineer; so now he probably wants to finish deal with her and she promises not to want anything from him when they divorce.

He probably thought he was going to have some regular live in action with her or should i say this witch with a "b".

18 months later....yep I still feel the same way. The only person that benefits in a marriage is the woman.

Gents, this is a great thread. I was wondering if there's is a difference in being married and being common-law (CL) in the States? There are some significant differences up here in Canada. Ex. in CL there is no matrimonial home or right to entitlement for 50%.

I believe you would find the common-law marriage laws vary from state to state. In Pennsylvania, I think common-law marriage kicks in after 8 years of co-habitation, and at that point, the law is fairly much the same whether you are actually married or common-law married.

Why do either ???

I've been single and living alone for 24 years. Had enough of marriage and living with a woman to last a lifetime. Now, single and living alone, I wouldn't have it any other way.........free as a bird.

Zebra, up here the co-habitation period is different in the various provinces mostly for taxes in claiming a dependent. In ontario its 3 years.
If you have Ch*ldren during the relationship then your treated as married.
Another difference is that spousal support for CL is usually 1/2 the time period as compared to married for paying out. I am the owner of my house and on the title, so even if I become CL she would have a difficult time claiming. Called a 'constructive trust' claim which is very complex and costing in legal fees from what I've read. RRSP contributions during the CL period could be shared. RRSP as like your 401K plans.

When the divorce rate cranked up to 51% up here, then the courts used the old 'ability to pay' position instead of the Gov't social programs being drained by mothers allowance payouts (mothers welfare). Shifted the support to the bread winner

Okay, I couldn't stand watching this thread any longer without a comment. Everyone here, I am sure, is aware that this is a mongerer site and, therefore, the comments will be quite negative as to marriage and long time relationship. That being said, I challenge any one here, especially Prolijo and Zippy, to consider this a legitimate debate category and take the opposite side of the argument. That would be that marriage is great and provides lasting friendships, a person to live with and enjoy things, a cuddler, a dedicated person that will listen to you, a person to look after you when you are sick, a person to raise your K*ds or take care of you while you act like a K*D, a person to be at your funeral and the multitudes of other day to day activities that makes marriage a joy. Oh yeah, were your parents married and do you perceive that they wished that YOU were never born and complicated their lives with the BURDEN of relationship?

I only bring this contrary opinion up as I hate to see mongerers think that they will enjoy mongering the rest of their lives and be happy. It may happen for a few. Who will take care of you when you are sick? Who will comfort you? Don't say that it doesn't happen as marriage is still an integral part of our society and many people live a lifetime with a mate and have no qualms whatsoever.

Just look at the poll about age of mongerers where 33% are in 40's, 27% are in their 50's and only 13% in their 60's. Do you really see that many 60 year olds in the DelRey?

What makes me upset is that everyone has an unbelievable great tool now to find girls that they would be compatible with and that is the internet. You can go in and trade your "Cash" which is the money that women need for their "Cash" which is p*ssy. You can make a deal upfront and be as brutally honest as you want to me. You can use the "Deal or No Deal" offer.

Have a Great Day,

Dave

To each his own. I was married 7 years and have been divorced and alone for 24 years. I could have gotten married numerous times over the past 24 years........ "but why ruin a good thing?"

So many men I know are plagued with this "I CAN'T BE ALONE" syndrome. All I can tell them is "get over it.... get a life."

I suppose you either "get it".............or "you don't."

As always, YMMV,
Zebra

Zebra I agree & the sad thing I see is some men are with someone physically & more alone than ever. Many times it is his fault as much as hers.

Well I think Dave does bring up a good point, who wants to be alone forever? Chasing P4Panoche is fun while you're doing it but it's not really fulfilling after a while especially if you're home alone avoiding gringas between trips.
I sure seem to see a hell of a lot of them and also have met many in that age bracket, I'd say double that 13% figure.

Great post!!

I've been around K*ds all my life. I grew up with 4 siblings in the family But there was always more K*ds around since my mother was the nieghborhood babsitter. I see the way me and my siblings are with K*ds, how we treat them and how affectionate we are with them. I now have 8 nieces and nephews and I love them all! They call me all the time just to see how I'm doing and share stories with me. If I don't make an appearance at their homes I get a call asking me why I haven't stopped by. They love spending time with me... ages 5 to 16 years old.

With that said... I would like to have K*ds of my own one day. I believe I would be a great parent. Also would find it challanging in trying to raise a Ch*ld that can be independent and think for himself and maybe just maybe achieve something great in this world to help out mankind. This is something that I feel we really need in society today. To0 many dumb parents breeding dumb K*ds who have no original thoughts of their own and nothing positve to add to society. I blame the parents. This country has really done a lousy job of raising future generations. It's really sad.

The only reason I would want to get married is to raise a family. It does get lonely at times being single but I don't want to get married just for the sake of being married.

I think a lot of marriages fail because there are too many people getting married for all the wrong reasons. Especially women! The pressure the wrong guy into getting married because of all the pressure they get from their married friends. And if the guy may be the right guy for her he won't be after she pressures him to get married. He will always resent that fact. And that would be the beginning of the end for that marriage. It should be up to the man to decide when he wants to get married!

Women are the worst culprits when it comes to marriage and why so many marriages fail. Hopefully I don't come off like I'm bashing women but they sure know how to ruin a good thing.

I don't have a clock to tell me when it's time to get married. I will get married when I'm good and ready. I believe I'm good and ready now but I haven't found the right girl to marry. I'm not looking. If she walks into my life one day fine, if not... that's okay with me because I have family and friends to share my life with... not to mention the CRT gents and... we'll always have Costa Rica.

Yea I agree but the thought of sitting around the fireplace with an old Gringa kniting with those huge thunder thighs that look like water balloons filled with mash potatoes & marbles just doesn't cut it either. Needless to say sex would not be in this equation . God the answer has to lie on some other spunk blazed trail?

I do believe for us to constantly blame the other sex for our wows doesn't really help us. When 2 people mix shit happens. YMMV

Well said, Zippy. My thoughts exactly.

Another poster on this thread stated that "married men live longer.....but why would they want to?".........Valid point.

I was fortunate to get married at a young age and to get the whole "marriage and K*D thing" over and done with. At the time when I went through my divorce, I didn't have much to lose financially. Now, I'm financially secure, have a son who turned out great with a good career and I'm free. Why would I want to risk ruining it all when 50% of marriages end in divorce?

I'll spend the rest of my time going to Costa Rica and enjoying the company of "knock-out chicas" half my age.

I have a monger buddy from another board who likes to say, "Just do what makes you happy." Simplistic? Maybe. But it's a very "freeing" bit of advice. Of course, it's not always so easy to decide when you're talking love and sex. What makes you happy today, boffing the hot new secretary, may make you very sad when your wife finds out. Sometimes it takes maturity and long-term thinking to arrive at the best overall decisions.

Not everybody is "cut out" for marriage. Others can't stand being alone. There really is no one correct answer or lifestyle that's universally superior. I've done both and enjoyed both, and for now, I'm very single. I now know no love or lust can last at the level of the first 7 years. The "7 year itch" is not an accident. It's real. People learn to sublimate, but the "living happily ever after," Carry Grant movie thing, is a myth. People who brave it over 30, 40, and more years, are not like Dustin Hoffman and Barbara Streisand in, "Meet the Fockers." It's a huge price to pay, with fights and disagreements, and heartbreak, and confusion, and contempt. It goes on and on. Yet married folks live longer. What kind of curse is that??

But there are many great moments and years with a person you love, too. K*ds offer a tremendous challenge, and there again, some folks are better suited to being parents. I'll think long and hard about marriage again, but I'm not closed to it; just more careful. Of course, as one ages, the liklihood of marrying decreases, especially if you like younger women.

Sometimes it's best not to think too hard. Just live, and try to follow that simplistic advice.

"Just do what makes you happy."
