    Yes, buying a house did have everything to do with getting married for me. If I was still single I would be living in an apartment and probably never have any notion of buying a house.

    I know you were making a generalization, but more often than not your generalizations cause lots of arguments and I don't feel like doing that right now.

    why would you rent if you were single but buy if you're married??? that makes 0 sense. if you like renting you rent, if you want to buy you buy (given finances, etc). that is like the most old fashioned single/married stereotype on earth. very sad.

    possible?
    i don't know.......



    haha.


    there are ALL kinds of different marriages out there. :p some may be able to do so, others not...others don't want to. it's all CHOICE. so, it does sound as if your bride has laid down the law, up to you to decide if it's terms you can abide.




    (i think you better! :D she's well worth it!)

    I remember wisely staying away from that thread :)..Interesting read though..

    and yes, I know you can get bigger size apartments if you get married or have kids, but when a mortgage payment is cheaper than rent for an apartment you buy the house

    I don't give a rats ass if it's an old-fashioned stereotype, that's what it is for ME. That makes sense to ME so I couldn't care less what you think about it.

    um yeah, there are a lot of mortgage payments that are cheaper than rent...that's why you buy/rent along with other such constraints/preferences. it's still a completely separate issue from being married. if it were linked in the way you say it is, then every married couple would buy and every single person would rent, and all married people would live in houses and all single people would live in apartments. you chose to buy a house, which is perfectly fine, and you think it was because you got married, but really, your preferences and constraints just led to buying a house (because in our culture, people equate the idea marriage to the idea of being an adult, which is well, just sad)...

    ...as for you not caring about having irrational prejudices...well, you're lucky you found someone who will tolerate that.

    Greentea, seriously why do you always feel the need to pick a fight? Markymark along with everyone else couldn't care less about your so called expert advice/opinion..Perhaps you should focus on getting yourself better instead of shitting in everyone's cheerios..just a thought..

    He thinks HE bought a house because it fits into HIS plans for what HE wants to do now that he's married. You're arguing about generalizations, but you're the only one making them.

    ya know, i think most/a lot of the people on this board are pretty intelligent people, know how to make decisions for themselves, WHY they make such decisions for themselves...and happy or not....most choose and accept the consequences.


    i personally think it is rather condescending to get *lectured* on how one can live their life, how they don't *need* to get married to do things, etc, etc. ya know what? WE KNOW! we really do! and then, we CHOOSE to live our lives AS WE SEE FIT!





    champ, sorry from straying from topic. :o

    back to happy and healthy relationships.......beautiful and wonderful....takes work and commitment.....but if you choose it, sooooo wel worth it if it's what you want.


    and ain't that what life's about? choosing your own way and making your own life...and always striving for happiness. :)
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    And now a backhanded compliment directed toward Mark as well as his wife. Classy, once again..

    great way of not using the whole context of my previous post...the part you cut out was that it was that way for me

    I made no generalization for any other married couple or single person. I was only stating the fact for my specific case. I know that you get off on making generalizations and arguing with others about the ones you don't agree with, but since I was stating the facts for only my situation so there's nothing for you to argue here.
