To marry or not to marry

I chose other, so I guess I should explain myself.

Marriage has no value to me. As a result, I don't care whether I'm married or not to whoever the girl is that I end up spending my life with. If she thinks marriage has value, then I'd absolutely marry her and pretend I give a shit about it, and if she doesn't care/hates marriage, then that's fine by me as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Like I said, marriage has no value. If that makes it impossible for me to be involved with someone who thinks marriage is important (as you seem to suggest), then that's fine by me as well. I have dated girls who wanted to marry me before I was ready. Perhaps I'll never be ready, and I really belong in the "will not marry" category, but I just don't know it yet. But--understand that I don't hate marriage, or think it's revolting or would "prefer not to marry", or anything like that. Marriage, to me, is dating.

Then again I'd never marry someone that I wasn't really sure I'd spend the rest of my life with anyway. If only because of the hassle of divorce.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It certainly wouldn't. I'm not 100% sure why, but it's probably because my parents are unmarried and happily together for all my life. And they're very pragmatic, so when I asked why they didn't marry the answer was more or less "too much hassle". I guess as a result the romanticism that one would have for marriage is a bit gone for me.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
