batbath Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I'd consider it maybe if I do come across a life partner (romantic or not), but probably not. It's a lot of paperwork, money, time, energy, and most people I know who are married are very unhappy but feel they can't get a divorce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger_hoods12 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Honestly, I really doubt it. I’m greyromantic and I have only ever had one crush in my entire life. So thinking about marriage is at the bottom of my agenda. The idea of marriage doesn’t sound that appealing to me, and I don’t really see it as romantic. Especially with divorce rates skyrocketing nowadays, does it even seem worth it? As a child of divorce myself, not only do I doubt it would happen for me, but I kind of don’t want it considering how bad it can be. I picture marriage as more as shackles around your wrist than I do it just being commitment. If I ever were to get married though, I would have to be REALLY ATTRACTED to the guy. Or maybe possibly having it be some type of QPR where we both agreed to do it for the company or societal/financial benefits.

Qiri Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I got married to my partner, and was happy to do so. Part of it was certainly due to the legal protections and recognition that we would get as a married couple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sili Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Thought I responded to this a while ago, but seems not. I was married, then I got divorced, then I learned I was aromantic. Would I get married again? Eh, sure? I dont really see the need, but im not against it. I think my opinions on it can be summed up with "meh." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Never. If they can afford and commit to organizing a large expensive party and also paperwork and mental loads of living together with one (or more) other people, good for them, but it’s not for me. I don’t even like living with my parents and sibling, let alone imagine living with a friend or stranger long-term, and imagine if there’s one or more infants, just nope. Living just for the one person who matters the most, the self, is much more of a dream. More simplicity if only one person is in the household. I don’t mean I don’t care for family or friends, I just mean I can care less for them. Doesn’t mean I hate them or anything like that! If everyone just let everyone be themselves (provided they aren’t actual sociopaths or other dangerous people), everyone wins! Let committed couples marry, or not even marry and live together if they wish to do so, but also let singles be singles if that’s their choice, without some creep wanting to force marriage or other forced things (key word FORCED) upon them. Single doesn’t automatically mean “single and seeking, it can also mean “single and happy with it, please don’t couple me up”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kira- Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 no. i don’t see any point in marriage because all it adds is expectations that i wouldn’t fulfill. plus the only reasons i would get married outside of tax benefits could be fulfilled by just having a roommate. plus the fact that a marriage is inherently seen as a sexual and romantic relationship, so there really is no upside to it that i can see from my point of view. i will most likely end up living by myself with an between 1 and 4 cats, and maybe a roommate to help fulfill the responsibilities of a residence, talk philosophically, and play video games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
