While I am firm with friends and family who are stickybeaks, I just can't help feeling annoyed!

I have a similar view about getting married only when I would like to start a family, which won't be for awhile!

For us neither of us are religious, neither of us wish to do something just for State approval, we don't have or want kids, and I totally reject the patriarchy of the whole shbang! However, if others want to marry that's fine for them! Fortunately, I've now gone past the age when people feel the need to ask if/when I'm going to marry and have kids! I guess for yourself you just need to politely be firm with friends and family and do, or don't do, what is right for you, at the right time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036892465058808519.post-90860331392185927642013-03-02T05:11:46.364-08:002013-03-02T05:11:46.364-08:00I have been with my bf for three and a bit years. ...I have been with my bf for three and a bit years. We are still very young and although we love each other very much, we are definitely not ready to get married! I think I would only want to get married when I start a family...which wont be until my career has settled and can financially support it! Otherwise I don't see a point.<br /><br />Oh and I want to keep my last name too! hahaJasmine Galahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067693889562653412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036892465058808519.post-39065198411466405752013-03-01T13:54:20.954-08:002013-03-01T13:54:20.954-08:00Lol when I was 12, I made a vow to never get marri...Lol when I was 12, I made a vow to never get married... :P I think I told a friend I'd pay her $10k if I ever did... hopefully she doesn't remember it!!

Marriage only enters into my scope when I am with someone I know I want to marry and be with rather than marrying for the sake of marrying, which seems like what Mysterious Family Member is implying. When you're ready, you know and your partner knows, it's just one of those things like how you know you love each other. Age is a normally a big factor though. I've always thought marriage was a bit ew, but not anymore. Am I getting old... or just happy with the bf? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036892465058808519.post-86338269958519729332013-02-28T19:05:15.740-08:002013-02-28T19:05:15.740-08:00I definitely believe in "to each their own&qu...I definitely believe in "to each their own" but it's soooo annoying when others place their values on you.

I also think that it's better to postpone marriage and be very certain of who you are ending up with, than rushing into it only to repent at leisure.<br /><br />xxThe Made Up Maidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918382702015050407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1036892465058808519.post-73946493600166704922013-02-28T04:46:56.369-08:002013-02-28T04:46:56.369-08:00I have been with my boyfriend since high school, w...I have been with my boyfriend since high school, we now live together 4 years later.
