Shagging the same women for 50 years? Is that a good thing?

 

[Scottyboi]

Maybe marriage isn’t actually the answer.

Me and mrs marsbar have been together 5 years now. Not married but we’ve lived together for 4 years and very happy together.

We probably will get married and we joke about calling each other wife and husband etc but neither of us are in a mad rush to actually do the paperwork.

Pretty normal these days I think? We’re both in our 30s.

Been with my mrs 12 years 3 kids another on the way, not married and don't plan on it any time soon makes no difference to us.

You say that as if when you're 75, the only thing stopping you from shagging loads of sexy young women is the fact that you're married.

I'm not sure 'love' is a sound basis for marriage if that is all there is. It amounts to your balls ruling your head (or the female equivalent) and an initial attraction based purely on sex can quickly fade. Basically, it would be best if you had more.

I got into a terrible relationship with a lass who I found very sexy at first. The problem was we had very little in common. The second was that she wanted to change me. To take up sport, for example. She even suggested joining the Territorial Army! Now, I'm sorry, but neither is me. It's like asking the Pope to turn Muslim, in fact. Was never going to happen. Fortunately, we did not tie the knot, but after living together for a while, we split. A very good thing, TBH.

She put me off women for years. I wasn't going through that shit again! But then, I met my wife. She liked me for what I was and accepted me with all my faults. Total acceptance. She had her faults too, but I decided they were trivial. We became close friends, real friends. Then I decided I wanted to marry her. I wasn't, to be honest, absolutely sure I 'loved' her, but I knew that I wanted to be with her forever. It's a bit hard to explain, but that's how it was. That we were just natural together. We were soulmates and it felt like I had known her all my life. So we married, and love has grown stronger with the years. I couldn't be without her. If anything happened to her, I would just want to die myself. I very much doubt I would want another woman.

Thanks for sharing that Brian, but I have to say, I’m not sure it’s that healthy to be at a point where if another human being died you’d want to end your own life. I have a number of people I love dearly, but I genuinely hope I never reach that point.

Shagging? Thought this was about marriage

Never been married, but I was with my ex for 20 years. Marriage was on the cards but give her the option of a wedding or a new kitchen. She chose the kitchen.
