Marriage Poll for Men only

[ChrisH]

Please answer honestly: for all of those married guys (or formerly married), did you propose because you genuninely wanted to/were in love and were driven to, or felt you had to/it was the "thing to do"? If the latter, was your attitude "well, I guess I'll just try to make the most of it" or something similar? Thanks.

[fandango86]

I proposed because I loved her. Still do now more than ever 10 years later. Anyone that answers with either of the other two options should get a divorce right this second. If you're truly in love, marriage can be a great thing. If not, get out.

[stevethrower]

Ya she totally rooined me... meh... what ya gonna do.

[Ant's_rapier]

I married my life because I love her and she's not a cunt.

[stevethrower]

See above... meh anyone that can put up with my bullshit is good in my books...

So, you're thinking about taking the plunge Chris? I only considered it because we had been seeing each other for a long time and I felt obligated by her family, and peer pressure I guess.

[RobeSoup&Tears]

I'm one of the lucky ones.

I met my Wife for the first time when I was 11 and she was 9.

Our Families were neighborhood friends since before either of us where even born.
Trust me this is a good thing.

Her and I where friends up until the ending of Junior High School and then we honestly never saw each other for about 5 years although we lived in the same neighborhood, then in 1989 we saw each other in a Church Bazaar and we both had U2 t-shirts on and we spoke for a while.

Being U2 fans may not seem significant but we bother grew up in the South Bronx…not many genuine U2 fans.

We lost contact for another few years and hooked up in 1992 when we send each other letters.

It took a while but I proposed to her in Disneyworld in 2001 with the help of Disney Proposal Dept. So we also got married at Disneyworld in 2004.

She’s simply adorable and really funny…she makes me laugh all the time.

All jokes aside...I love here so much.

[Ant's_rapier]

who knew Disney had a proposal dept?

[RobeSoup&Tears]

who knew Disney had a proposal dept?

They actually do.

I proposed at the Rose Garden just to the right of the Castle.

They roped it off so that other can't get in.

It's a long boring story but yes Disney's pretty cool and coming up with some cool shit.

Good luck bro.

[leftybearfan]

I married my wife because I couldn't imagine living without her. Five years later, I still feel that way.

[ChrisH]

I am genuinely surprised (pleasantly) with the positive feedback and lack of (so far) bile about marriage. Not sure where things will work out, but have been dating the lass for about a year and a half, and while there are some issues (one big one, sex-life related), she is a loyal, sweet, loving, accepting, beautiful woman who loves me. We'll see, but thanks for the feedback.

[Ant's_rapier]

I figured I have been with my wife for 10 yrs but only married for 5. Most people have a good thing going. like I said as long as she isn't a cunt it should be cool.

[click]

I lol'd RS&T. Seriously, if you want me to call 911, I will.:icon_mrgr

[Sinn Fein]

I am getting married in less than a month.

You guys need some wider choices on this poll.

I'd pick the first choice, but I really wasn't overcome by anything. I dragged my feet, and in hindsight am lucky I didn't get kicked to the curb in the meantime.

I just knew it was what I need to do.

[BravoSierra]

I'm actually getting married on Monday (May 8th). She's foreign, I met her 3 years ago, and love her to death. Shit came up, needs citizenship.... I've never met a chick as cool as her, and I'm goin through with it. Ceremony will come later in life, but for now, it's legallity.

Still Floored you are in Montana and found a muslim....oh and it is Butte btw.

[Rob]

i'm divorced... need i say more?

[Ballbuster1]

We've been married for almost 30 years now.
It was and still is love.

[invisible76]

I would have done it anyway, but due to circumstances (moving for work and she decided to move with me and leave a job she loved) I did it earlier than I otherwise would have.

[Exanimate]

I married my wife, because I couldn't live without her. I tried it, and it sucked.

We started dating in middle school. She was 14, I was 15. We dated all through High School, did the prom king and queen shit, etc...

When we started college we decided to split up. We made it a whole 6 months. Her 6 months consisted of seeing one guy, and focusing on school. My 6 months focusing on how much alcohol I could consume, and how many chicks I could bang. I was miserable without her though, and apparantly she was miserable without me.

I got drunk one night, and put a letter in her mailbox telling her to call me. We went out the next night, and got married 4 months later.

July will be our 10 year anniversary. I love her more now than ever.

Christ this is a sappy thread for Wackbag.

[robinquivers]

I'm on marriage number 2. And I honestly have nothing bad to say about it. My first wife and I just grew apart and she wanted to have kids and I didnt, but we still remain friends, she is remarried and has 3 kids and we socialize. And when we divorced we just went to court, no lawyers involved or anything. Wife number 2 is awesome. Have been with her for 4 years and is like my best friend. Lets me be me, do what I want within reason and will even say the cunt from time to time.

And yes this is the sappiest thread ever on wackbag

[CringeRadioWanted]

will be married in about a year...but believe it or not, I wish it were now. If it's there, then it's there. There isn't a lot that can describe that feeling. I can only hope to be as lucky as BB1, with 30+ years in.

and yes, this thread is sappier than a vermont forest in the spring (wocka wocka)

[nevnut]

I voted obligated even though I was overcome by love.

My first wife kinda' ruined marriage for me, we were together for a year and half before getting married and got along really well. but the day after we got married she became a possesive, raging cunt and made my life a living hell.

When I met my second wife, I promised her I would stay with her forever, but wouldn't marry because of what happened the first time.

We got married when my son was 4 and we had been together almost six years because of society bullshit (insurance, bene's ect.) and now together for over 11 years.

We still feel we can't live with out each other and are very happy:icon_bigg

[BCH]

14 years this june. No Issues.

[BravoSierra]

oh and it is Butte btw.

Trust me bro.... stay where you are. That town sucks a massive cock.

[Glenn Dandy]

I knocked her up.

[Coffee Diva]

I'm one of the lucky ones. ...


:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: Post of the year. :haha7: :haha7: :biggrinfl

[JimsInfectedEye]

I knocked her up.

Still married?

That sorta happened to me - but I was already engaged anyway, we just had to elope instead of the fancy expensive wedding.

15 years later, its better than ever. Except for the annoying bratty teenager, who in reality, I couldn't live without.

[wetandstickyjim]

Reading this thread, listening to Lucy, and "Every little thing she does is magic" by The Police just came on. The Sap factor just went up.

Married 13 years, together 20. I was 20, she was 16 when we met. Dealt with her going away to college in the Mid-West while I stayed in NY. got engaged during her last semester.
Regrets? Yeah, should've banged more, dated more...both of us. Three kids later and we're still together, but honestly, the kids drove a barrier between us and if we didn't have any I'm not sure we'd still be together. I love her to death, but it's not about us anymore. She can be a cunt and I can be a dick.
We have our moments, good and bad. I sometimes wish I was single, but couldn't imagine life with out my children. I just wish we had more help with them. $$ is an issue as well.
Jeez, Beer me!

[Beeman99]

I've been with my gf now for two years and I'm in no hurry to propose. She's not going anywhere and we live together in my house, so we're basically married without the ring. And after my latest set back with our sex life(some will know what I mean), I'm really in no hurry until I know that little fuckup won't happen again. I love her but the ring is a ways away

[patbattlefield]

i have to admit i got lucky. i almost married the wrong person and she dumped me before we got married. that taught me the difference between obsession and love. met my wife 8 months later and now going on 2 years of happy marriage.

[kloraferm]

I once was engaged out of love, this was quite a few years ago, but I'll never get married or have kids

[Cybouncer]

:action-sm i have to admit i got lucky. i almost married the wrong person and she dumped me before we got married. that taught me the difference between obsession and love. met my wife 8 months later and now going on 2 years of happy marriage.


I went throught almost the exact same thing.

I dated my girlfriend all through college (under & post grad). We were engaged and a few months before the wedding, right before the invites went out, she dumped me. I went through a couple of years of bad relationships and hookups.

I met my wife one night accidently. She was with a friend of mine who stopped by the club I was working at to use the Bathroom. It was an instant connection. We dated for 2 years, and on our 3 year anniversary, we got married. Coming up on 1 year married now and to be honest with you, marriage is work. But, it is also a lot of fun and I love it.

Chris, if it feels right, go for it. If you have any doubt, there is no hurry, wait and see what happens.

In either case, good luck!:action-sm

[Brady T cell]

I have been married for 18 years this June. Still the best thing I've ever done in my life. Gottal love a woman who will clean your drawers and cook a great meal and laugh at O&A.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

...and while there are some issues (one big one, sex-life related)...Oh God Chris...don't tell me she's got a cock:action-sm


other than that, best of luck man

[ChrisH]

Oh God Chris...don't tell me she's got a cock:action-sm


other than that, best of luck man

No, she has a beautiful vag that I love to munch...it's something completely different.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm going to see how things go....I'm in no rush (29).

Congrats Chris. It's tough to find a normal girl. Especially when you're getting
up there in age :icon_mrgr

[Ren5150]

Wow, funny I see this today, its my anniversary today. Married 9 years. Did it because I loved her. Still do, more so than ever. Any chick who puts up with me, feeds me and gives me snatch is worthy of loving. If I end up getting anal, she'll get a new car.

[thegreatgazoo]

Married my wife because i loved her. Been married 17 years and it seems like it just happened. She is the best. Didn't cut her hair short, hates mini vans and loves to wear the shortest skirts and tightest shirts. Even got the boob job and weighs about the same as she did when we married. What more can you ask for. Oh yea, one more thing she still loves sex. Still trying to figure out what she's doing with me but I'll keep her and hope she never smartens up!!!

[The Sarge]

6 years together, over 3 year married. She's still hot, takes care of herself...and still Loves Sex.

I am a lucky bastahhhd.

See? Wackbag has some REAL men on this site who love their women. hell yeah.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Never been married before, but I'm hopeful.

[Shaggz]

Love stinks!


Actually its a pretty good thing if you can find and hang onto it.
Not married yet (not sure I wanna be) but who knows...

[FunkeDunke]

proposed to convince her i wasn't banging some other chick.

oh, and her 36DD's had some factor in my proposal too.

two years later, i was happily divorced...

[kloraferm]

Hell, I refuse to even go to another wedding for the rest of my life, no matter whose it is.

[JoeyDVDZ]

Never been married, but was engaged once. Ditched the bitch for being the ultimate control freak. She told me not only that I was going to propose to her, but also when and how. Even picked her ring & made me put a deposit on it. Needless to say, that was one symptom of what eventually led to our breaking up. :)

[FunkeDunke]

Hell, I refuse to even go to another wedding for the rest of my life, no matter whose it is.

think i said something similar after watching my chick's sister's trainwreck of a wedding last weekend.

stealing a page out of jimmy's book...

3:00pm: wedding begins
3:05pm: i'm exiting through a back door as the people sitting in front of me scoop vomit out of their collars...

[SatansCheerledr]

My wife fuckin' rocks. If you found a woman who you are absolutly sure isn't a psychotic cunt go for it. They are few and very far between.

[LifeHacker]

Not to sound sappy, but my wife is my best friend. Couldn't live without her.

[kloraferm]

Actually that's the perfect way to sound sappy. :action-sm

[tonypop]

I'm 27 and I've known my wife for since I was 15. We dated a little in high school. She was my first piece of pooty puddin'. We broke up at 16 and never lost contact with each other, usually one of us(mostly me) calling two or three times a year to see how each of us were doing.

Fast Forward 4 years. Both of us fresh out of bad relationships find our way back to each other again. We date for a year or so and I propose to her because she kind of pressured me into it. Nothing major like holding a shotgun to my face until I agreed to marry her, but she was always throwing not so subtle hints and as soon as i showed the teensiest interest in going through with it all hell broke loose. She started planning and planning. I hadn't even asked her yet. Her parents plopped a $5000 deposit on our reception hall. I was in a daze at how fast shit was moving, so I figured with all this trouble over us I might as well ask her. Six months later I regained my composure(and my balls if I'm going to be honest about it) and broke everything off. The wedding, the engagement, the relationship, everything. It's not that I stopped loving her, it's just I had lost all control of my life and had to regain it.

For another six months I'm living the single life and enjoying myself. We still hang out(With the occasional booty call. Some of the best sex I've ever had, by the way)as we had mutual friends. I see her with another guy one day and like a sucker punch to the testes I realized this was the woman I was meant to be with. The very next day I called her out of the blue and just asked her to marry me. She said yes. We got married two months later in a little chaple in Gatlinburg, TN. Damn near six years and three kids later we are still act like newlyweds.

So to answer the poll question, the first time I asked was because of pressure. The second and final time I asked her was because I couldn't live without her.

[poppAwoody]

i wish i could start over again
