Even if you want a relationship, do you want marriage?

Post Reply New Topic

If I was interested in being in a relationship I wouldn't get married, because I wouldn't want to give up my last name. I like being a Munro.

You do realize your wife tradionally takes your last name!
Just saying

I used to think I wanted to get married.

Then I realized, if you're just with someone you truly love, that stuff just doesn't matter.

I will never get married. It does not make sense to me, unless you're seeking financial benefits, and even then I find a lack of sense in that. I do want to be in a serious relationship, sharing the same love that others can have in a marriage, the same closeness, and dedication. It can be done without "tying the knot" Serious life long relationships full of love and dedication came way before marriage. No paperwork and jewelry is needed. That stuff shouldn't matter, IMO.

I'm definitely not ready for any sort of relationship at the moment, but I want to be married eventually.

I've never been interested in marriage
Just not something I can see myself doing.
I don't have a need for companionship.
I never have.
Not to mention I have such a hard time connecting with people already as it is.
And I'm an asexual.
Marriage is not in my future.

I would like to be in a relationship and hopefully get married one day but at present i am not quite ready yet as i am still on the learning curve.

I want a relationship, but I do not want to settle down. As strange it sounds, I can imagine myself in a stable relationship with a woman, but I cannot imagine myself living with another person. I live with my mother, but as soon as I am able to, I intend to buy her a house and spend the rest of my life living alone. I like being alone in my house: it feels like a sanctuary.
