Just curious as to the marital status ratios of folks on TFP...

"Committed etc." is intended to encompass long term committed relationships. Ex: Gay/Lesbian Couples who live in a local that does not recognize non-hetro marriages.

YourNeverThere · 08-01-2003, 12:54 AM

platypus · 08-01-2003, 04:20 AM

Well they say third time's a charm. Almost 13 years now with Wife v3.0. Guess this one's a keeper.

God of Thunder · 08-01-2003, 04:21 AM

Just celebrated 9th Wedding anniversary.

Bill O'Rights · 08-01-2003, 04:40 AM

I made it 5 years on my "starter" marriage, and have just passed the 8 year mark this past July 8, with the current Mrs. O'Rights.

htwhite · 08-01-2003, 04:43 AM

DONT DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

absorbentishe · 08-01-2003, 04:46 AM

kurty[B] · 08-01-2003, 05:00 AM

Never married, someday. Course being a hermit living in a cabin in the mountains has always been a fun prospect.

Tirian · 08-01-2003, 10:11 AM

Next spring will be my 15th.

Gebbinn · 08-01-2003, 10:13 AM

There is no option for "Married but separated and getting divorced from the biggest *&%*&^$% in the world"

So I cant vote

Cynthetiq · 08-01-2003, 10:30 AM

happily married 18 months

Semi-Normal · 08-01-2003, 11:18 AM

Never married, but I'm still young. It's something I'd like to do some day, most likely not for a few years, but you never know.

tenchi069 · 08-01-2003, 11:27 AM

Engaged to a very wonderful woman

SiN · 08-01-2003, 11:34 AM

Just have to find a lady crazy enough to stick around.

spectre · 08-01-2003, 03:27 PM

Never married. Not likely to happen any time soon either.

sixate · 08-01-2003, 03:59 PM

Never married. Probably never will either. I just don't get it.

MadMartigan · 08-01-2003, 08:01 PM

From a guys perspective.... Does it really matter if your married as long as the bills are getting paid

bundy · 08-01-2003, 09:55 PM

Well, you're a guy, so tell us?

hambone · 08-02-2003, 12:33 AM

engaged, and very anxious to be married

cheerios · 08-02-2003, 12:40 AM

hmm... I'm committed, but not to the point where there's anything formal between us, so I voted the first option. nearly 3yrs mostly cohabitating the whole time...

ARTelevision · 08-02-2003, 01:24 AM

we3 are in a committed relationship of many years.

AxelF · 08-02-2003, 06:02 AM

I envy you all married/committed/engaged lucky you.

Charish what you have. Give it your best and chears to ya!

Nothing like some other person on the planet saying "I love you" to your eyes with a look of admiration.

Nope not my end of the stick so far. Darn, you make me feel sorry for my self, wich I guess is a sure turn-off.

HAVE TO LIKE BEING SINGLE, HAVE TO LIKE BEING SINGLE.... Buhuu huuu....

billege · 08-02-2003, 06:07 AM

I get married in 58 days.

more fire · 08-02-2003, 07:06 AM

I doubt I'll ever marry. It's not the sort of thing I'd enjoy.

engaged to be engaged to my bf

sunstone · 08-02-2003, 09:09 PM

Almost 5 years with #3 and it feels like I am wise enough finally to have made an intelligent choice. #1 was too early in life, but ok then just crashed. #2 was a total mistake (trophy wife!) and cost me a fortune to dump (but worth every penny).

Looking back, it doesn't make sense to get married before you're about 30, give or take a few years. There's a huge difference between "grown up" and "mature."
