new marriage idea

[Eilan]

i think that at least MEN are polygamous.

Because of the "need" (I'm using that term loosely) to impregnate as many women as possible?

purely from an evolutionary standpoint i think women tend to be more monogamous...

They're looking for caretakers?

which, if you protract that logic out enough, you have to reach the conclusion that women who are polyamorous/polygamous are more highly evolved?

Woo-hoo!

yes... that's where i was heading.

They're looking for caretakers?

Woo-hoo!

yes. your house is where i'm heading.

Well, you were looking to move to my neck of the woods to troll for pussy, as I recall.

troll for pussy

this phrase could mean so many things around here.

That's not how it works. You're supposed to tell ME to get the fuck out of your thread. I'm not supposed to drive YOU away, though I DO tend to have that effect.

 

[EJFan]

effect.

i wouldn't kick you outta here... you know the difference between effect and affect.

I've never seen brains wear a t-shirt, either, but I don't get out much.

Hubby and I have talked about the contracts, and we both think it's a great idea. When he first mentioned it years ago, I was offended...getting married was special, important, and romantic. Yet when we got married, I realized nothing had changed except some legal and economic provisions. That is, the promises we made were important, but we were no more committed to eachother after signing that paper than we were before we pick up those pens. Marriage hasn't changed the way we feel or treat eachother, it's simply altered the way we do insurance, decision making, taxes, etc.

We do this all of the time anyway, but I think the contract would kind of force people to assess their happiness in the relationship and either give it up or work harder. It might give those who are living unhappily due to complacency or to avoid the stigma of divorce the chance to get out and have a better life.

I can see the downside if there weren't provisions for abusive or extreme situations (e.g. addictions, leaving, etc.).

It seems like the contract is a promise to stay in a good situation and kindly leave if it becomes less-than-happy. To treat eachother well no matter what. That seems pretty damn special and romantic to me.
