Marriage...

[nebulachich]

A guy I dated said he didn't believe in marriage. He got engaged a year after we broke up.

Is it the trend nowadays for guys to tell women they don't have any intention of marrying that they don't believe in marriage?

You ever said anything and changed your mind about it later? A lot of things can happen to a person in a year.

he's probably just fickle. is he still engaged to this person?? if so, wait about another year and see if they still are together.

His opinion changed. I do not ever want to get married. Offcourse....certain circumstances could change that though.

I dont want to get married yet. One day down the line I probably will and It may turn out to be with someone I meet tomorrow. Although I have no intention of marrying anyone at this time doesnt mean Ill just date for the sake of dating.

he's a hypocrite. plain and simple. people who don't believe in marriage believe it deep down inside and literally don't marry. they'll live with someone for the rest of their lives without marrying. there's really nothing wrong with that.

a friend and i were talking the other day about how women always want (big generalization, of course) to get married. he had a girlfriend break up with him simply because he didn't want to get married. he was firm on it. i don't get it, why would someone dump another person because they don't want to sign legal papers saying they'll be together forever? isn't a promise and promise anymore? anyway i'm digressing big time...

he probably just didn't want to marry you and couldn't just come out and say it.

Yeah. When we first started dating I asked what kind of relationship he was looking for. I said I preferred to be monogamous once involved with someone intimately. He agreed but started saying and doing things that led me to believe maybe it wasn't the case. We used to fight about it a lot... he always defended his position (that he did want to be).

After we broke up I finally asked him if he had ever even wanted to be monogamous and he said "no". I told him he could have spared me a hell of a lot of pain and angst had he just been honest.

I hope he is paying for the lies, pain and humiliation he caused me.
