Never Married

Ice usage linked to genetics? That's a new one

 

[NSWCROW]

The Liberal Party, News Corp Australia, Institute of Public Affairs (paid to be on your ABC) and their fellow travellers don't want anybody talking about the war on the poor, so when it comes up they scream "CLASS WARFARE!". That usually doesn't work, however they've learned to switch the topic to Baby Boomers vs Millenials junk to shutdown debate on the real topic. There's plenty of baby boomers with not much and plenty of kids in places like Kew and Hawthorn who are set for life.

" Politics of envy " lol


as for thread title

Never married , never even had a " girlfriend " as such.
Not even fussed , not like i don't know how to fap or go to a brothel if need be.

Go pop some more pills, you and your mates are the biggest addicts of the lot.

If you want to be tough and say how perfect you are, maybe wonder how your lineage allowed for ice to sneak in?

Where did I say I was perfect? I've lived long enough to know that I'm far from perfect. I've also lived long enough to spot a fukwit...

Addiction is genetic, I'm from a long line.

I somehow missed this thread when it was posted a few months ago so apologies for the mini-bump. It was a long read, but definitely worth it.
I'm a fair bit younger than the OP is asking for but I'm still going to post because honestly, even when I see a future for myself, I no longer realistically see marriage/kids as part of that future even though I've always wanted those things. I hope I never fully give up until it's actually too late though.

At this stage, my parents will obviously get my estate when I die, but if I outlive them , I'll have to rethink my will and reconsider where my assets and savings go. I love my niece/nephew/friends' kids dearly, but I know that they'll be very well provided for by their own parents. I think I'll donate some to them, and some to charity.

3 billion or so blokes in the world MWPP, grab yourself one.
You're sweet, caring, intelligent and successful, you will have no problems getting a decent guy.

I know you will do well raising kids too.

Why do you feel your parents will outlive you?

This is one of the sweetest posts I have ever seen you write and though it’s far removed from your usual style so I had trouble believing it , still , thank you

Why do you feel your parents will outlive you?

I don’t necessarily , but I do have a will and at this point , they do get everything because nobody else both needs and deserves what I do have anywhere near as much .

I hear you . I’m not bitter or cynical either or have even given up either , but it’s more like - if it happens , that’s great (but I’m unable to see that future for myself anymore, but I used to dream about this) , but otherwise , move on . Whilst there’s still work /family, there will be other things in life which fulfill me .

Oh i was bitter massively like maybe three or four years ago? Ive gotten over it now tho.

Just guys here have never liked me. Srs in my 20s never been hit on in a bar. Oh except once and one other time at oaks day.

You're probably not going to the right places (maybe "right" should be in quotation marks)

I understand why you/others would feeling that way . The difference is that in my case, much of this is my fault (not the case with others who have truly put themselves out there /tried - going by your posts /lurks over the years you seem to be in that latter bracket) , but circumstances have made that hard , so that knowledge has removed any bitterness /cycinism /jealousy I might otherwise have, at least so far . Can’t speak for how I’ll feel in 10-20 years time .

Aww . I can’t say the same but I will say that I have never almost never had the balance - I have either been being seen as one of the guys/friendzoned , or being pursued in an over the top and persistent way (even after saying no) to the point of harassment . I don’t blame men though- I blame myself .

As an aside /though this probably wasn’t your intention the “here” made me curious . Have you had a different experience when travelling ? (Like many people seem to)

The fact that my regular posting style is somewhat less than fuzzy and adorable should make it all the easier to believe.

For disclosure I am 31 and happily married but my wife has a lot of single friends who place a large emphasis on being in a relationship as defining their happiness. It shouldn’t. If my wife really needed to be married (or even really needed a boyfriend) to be happy I would have run. I don’t depend on her and she doesn’t depend on me, we support and help each other but we’ve been very candid from the outset that if we become a couple who can’t do shit without each other we’d be done and we’ve gone to the brink on a few occasions with that.

Absolutely agree with all that but... is pretty easy for you to say.

You are happily married after all.

Are there any guys who truly want to get married? Obviously you meet someone and you're probably for it but do you see it as something you'd be sad to miss out on?

For all the girls I know it's the defining moment of their life.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yep. Always wanted to get married and have a family.

Getting married didn't define anything other than my relationship status.
