    I don't stand a snowball's chance in hell.

    Nor do I think I want to for that matter. I mean, what is marriage? Is it a piece of paper given you by a government body that will cause you financial hardship should you determine that this "marriage" no longer works? Or, is a marriage the joining of two hearts that want the best for each other regardless of the path it takes.

    Real love doesn't exist. between partners that often Only lust or infatuation. Love without conditions is very hard to find.

    I agree. I don't even believe that unconditional love between a man and woman exists. I would be very suspicious of somebody other than a member of my family that says they love me unconditionally.

    In time, the infatuation and lust will pass. It has too. Still, it can last up to 10 years. It's the friendship that should develop during this time that will help it last a life time.

    Exactly!

    A loving friendship of trust and respect.

    I'll take that over a "marriage" any day of the week. Marriage as we're taught to believe is not something I want or need.

    (((((Lisa))))) If you do not want marriage, your reasons are valid. However, I refuse to believe that marriage cannot be that way. I'll take my chances.

    NO. I no longer feel it serves any purpose.

    You are so true when you said its worse being married and lonely, than being single and lonely.

    Exactly.

    Unless I find an EX-JW who can understand my disgust with all things religious I'll be a celibate bachelor the rest of my life.

    I hear you!

    A loving friendship of trust and respect.
    That's what I could live with for the rest of my life.

    Deep trust then takes on the meaning of lasting commitment. True love never just falls out of the sky. This kind of commitment could not be ownership.

    To me this is something you just know, time can pass by without seeing or hearing from this person and you know that the relationship has not been threatened in anyway.

    There is an understanding, a love, a trust at the core of who that person is. Its a wonder feeling.
