What is your ideal dating timeline? You know, date for X months/years. Get engaged after X months/years into dating. Get married X months/years after that. Obviously this kind of depends on how the relationship is going, but what would be your ideal plan in a perfect world?
In my family history marriage kills all romance and love between the partners. And then there's divorce court, and all that, and... And just general dating? I've never thought of a timeline. I would just... I don't know, be in love, and do lovey-dovey stuff?
Parents. -Go out=1 year -Marrige=20+ years -Love in that time=1 year and 6 months No divorce in sight=Old fashioned family values agaisn't divorce XD Mates time lines -Girl friend time Max 3 years of torment but too afraid to dump each other-ends up violently (as in someone get's hurt phyisically or emotionally-and it's the GUYS that get the physical side )) Minimum 2 weeks (a common figure especially our "ladies man", a good dude but is rather desperate and seems to churn thru them too fast...keeps all ex's as friends...except 2 for causing pain to the rest of us)
Date for 5 years. Happy. Engaged for a year, happy. First five years of marriage. Relatively happy. Next couple of married years, getting boring. Last couple of years, bored and hatred towards eachother. Divorced. I'm SO excited for the divorce!!1111!!
Ideal dating time line? Friends: 2 years Crush: 3 month at least Couple: 2-3 years Engaged: 1 year (for prep of wedding, my cousin is getting married in may but they booked the place a year ago, it's really hard to do prep work) Marriage: happily ever after, till death do us part (but I want to die first, or else it'll be really painful to get left behind T_T) No Divorce! Marriage takes managing and work to keep yet so many people just give up. I don't want that. Ideally though, my husband would not commit adultery or become an abuser.
I agree entirely. Divorce breaks kids up. I've seen it way too many times. And giving up is for the weak.
It's not for the week. It's for the weak. I say date the girl for maybe around 3 years, move in together for a year to see if you're really made for each other, if it all works well get engaged and wait half a year, then go for it. That's pretty much the end of it. No divorces, no annulments. I plan to stick with one woman once I wear that tux and go down the altar with my woman in white waiting. That'll take a while though.
Don't worry. Everyone has an error every now and then. I don't see the point of marrying someone and then giving up 2 years down the road. Doesn't make sense to me.
Helluva stamina you've got there. How typically selfish! Think of the pain your spouse will experience if you die first. And yet, here you are prioritising your own desires ahead of your loved one's. REAL love wants the OTHER person to die first. Real hatred, too. There's a fine line between the two, y'see.
