Commitment
Scrambled Egg Machine:
On the subject of divorce, I can tell you having divorced parents sucks.
RedLion:
I've never been a big fan of the concept of marriage anyway. The idea of it is romantic and all, but in practical purposes, 9/10 times, it takes out the true romance and spontaneity of the relationship, largely because you're no longer lovers, or even just partners--they're a member of your family, and again, while that may be a happy thought, it also brings into your relationship all the pitfalls that are present in a family. In my view, marriage is a piece of legal paper and a pointless ceremony to declare to people what they already know: that you're in love.
I want to spend my life with someone, to live with someone, but I don't think I need to be married to do that.

I remember this thread! I appreciate this thread and the discussion you have fostered here.
Still, I was a massive dick in that thread and with hindsight, I regret my posts. Years later I actually apologised to one of the participants. I still agree with the general stance I was defending (as I have said at length on these forums over the years, I consider 'Love' to be a mythical construct similar to 'God' or 'Luck') but at the time my choice of words and general conduct was lame.
I will seriously contribute at length when I get the chance but my life has just been plunged into ridiculousness and I don't got the time. To be continued!

I've never seen it expressed this way before, but I have a lot of sympathy for this view.
