The World's Shortest Fairy Tale

Star · 06-16-2006, 12:15 PM

Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl "Will you marry me?"

The girl said, "NO!"

And the girl lived happily ever after and went shopping,dancing, camping,& drank martinis, always had a clean house never had to cook, had sex with whomever she pleased....did whatever the hell she wanted, never argued,didn't get fat, travelled more, had many boyfriends, saved more money,had all the hot water to herself, never had pubic hairs under the toilet seat lid, watched girlie movies, never had football on, never wore fricken lacey lingerie that went up your arse, had high self esteem, never cried or yelled, felt and looked good in sweat pants and shirt, and burped, swore, farted all the time.

THE END

Sometimes I wish that was my fairy tale. I love my kids but if I had it to do all over again I don't think I would get married. I will keep the kids though.

smart girl that hero of yours, hahaha!!!

lots of boyfrieds... neat home... me thinks it's love and family she misses...

That girls' life seems like a very good comedy but watched alone.. I love sharing, myself. I've got nothing against living alone, but I don't believe in praising it.

I'm being serious when I ask this question.....Does marriage really change things that much?

TKDLady · 06-17-2006, 05:35 PM

I guess it depends on what kind of life you had before marriage and if you really love the person or are just infatuated. If you are ready to settle down then go for it. If you still need to sow some wild oats than wait.

Oh, I looove that expression "to sow some wild oats", LOL !!!

It requires constant attention; communication being the key and NOT taking things personally unless, of course, it's physical abuse. Treating your partner like you want to be treated; respect, love, and total devotion. Working your way through the problems that WILL come along which will only help you grow.

It took my husband and I a LONG time to get here; I only wish it happened as the boys were growing up.

I don't think it is stupid. Marriage isn't for everyone but if you have a partner you can trust, who you love, who is your best friend and you stay aware that there will be bumps in the road then it can be the best way to live. It is definitely less lonely and you always have someone to share the ups and downs of life and living. I also think, as long as you are prepared the the changes kids bring then they add so much more to your life. I have had my ups and downs with my kids but I wouldn't trade them for the world. They are the best thing that happened to me. Go for it Twinkle.

i think that depends on what kind of person you're marrying. Some people do change after they marry. why? I have no idea. for hubby and i, we lived together for 6 years then got married. nothing changed for us except growing up together - him doing that slower then me of course

I think it just depends on the person.

LMAO how true, i'm so glad i'm single.

But think about what she is missing, childbirth ...unless she's a ho, quiet evenings whth a man that understands her, sex anytime she wants it, someone to grow old with, someone to help you with tough emotional times. There's gotta be something positive about being married?

Yes...and very few of them are for the better.

I'd rather be married then single. All those things you said above are the benefits of being married.

That is one beautiful post, Tkdlady. Like Merika said, there are more chances to screw it up than to succeed, but trying to make it must be what assured our specie's survivial,

I do admit I have a romantic idea about marriage

We all have romantic ideas about marriage, kids, relationships until you are in them and then you realize the books, magazines, etc are only trying to sell something. A relationship takes real work but if it is the right person, the rewards can be wonderful.
