Why you think the world is shittier than it really is.

12 years later, two kids later, a new career later....at 38, I know pretty well what I want in life, and who I want travelling with me down those different paths.  Her resume is pretty much perfect.  The vetting on either side has been pretty comprehensive. 

This is the horrormirthiest thing I've read this year.   

I knew what I wanted to be when I grew up several times already, too.

No, the fact that he's treating it as a job position to be filled.  Resumes.  Vetting.  It's awesome, and it's completely full of 21st century goodness.

He's hiring a replacement.

I really just have nothing to say. I'm just horrified.

Although I guess the mirth is right there in the thread title.

Yeah that made me go oh dear thats not good too. Sure its a contract but a wife is not an employee and using bureaucratic metaphors should give him a little pause.

I appreciate the concern.  Sorry for calling you "assface" and for being belligerent with you. 

It would be completely arbitrary and academic to wait a certain number of months to propose.  That is just an arbitrary life-game that doesn't consider individual situations.  In addition I would point out that I waited for almost two years before proposing to ex-Mrs WHN and look how that turned out.

Nothing is going to be different a year from now so, for me, it seems silly to wait a year just because that's what everyone else does.

Well it was an inaccurate comparison. My cheeks arent that robust and my mouth is more akin to a sideways vulva what with the general shape and beard. But whatever man is all good. 
I think your mindnumbingly wrong on a few things sure. One of which is that you think that sooner is no different than later. But the damage is done even if you agreed with what suu pent and i are saying. But i would delay the wedding another six months or so if you can manage it.
Weddings seem all romantic and stuff but really theyre expensive rituals attached to essentially signing a contract. You dont need to marry your chick in order to have a satisfying relationship or even to fertilize those last few eggs if thats what you want. Never hurts to wait unless one of you is terminally ill.
Anyway now that im not an assface did you watch that video?

I have been married before so trust me I'm pretty aware of the expense and everything that goes with it.  We both have pretty small circles of people so it won't be a big affair. 


The wedding will be next year sometime.  We've ruled out summer because we both hate summer.  Maybe next Spring, more early next Fall. 


This isn't about "need" at all.  We both value marriage, obviously not out of any religious aspect, but as (for us) an important symbolic, and ceremonial way to convey and celebrate our committment to each other.  Marriage isn't for everyone, but it is for us.

Uhh, maybe try not being so literal and taking everything so seriously?

You guys taking that so seriously is giving me a little pause,


Lighten up guys.

You're the one that made the comparison first.

You're not the only one on the board that has been married before, and I've never ONCE thought about a potential spouse as having an impressive resume.

[AFK]

It wasn't a comparison, it was a lighthearted, completely not serious metaphor.  Just another way of saying, we're really good for each other. 


Lighten up.

I think I need to riff on this a bit.  Seriously.  Her resume is pretty much perfect.  They have vetted each other.  They are considering a contractual merger. 

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE GIGGLING HERE?  This is AMERICA!

You're not, I was in hysterics when he first posted it, myself.

I probably should be, but I can't. I 'm just


Either this is all just a big joke or he's making exactly the type of catastrophic foreseeable mistake I'm so intrigued by.

[AFK]

There is a third option. 

[The Good Reverend Roger]

There is a third option.

Whether your description was intended humorously or seriously, it made my day.  I mean, it fits right in with the arrogance you were boasting about not too long ago.

[AFK]

humor = arrogance 


Really?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Good luck, man. Just, seriously, good luck. I genuinely wish you well, for your children if no other reason. May you be blessed by whatever forces you believe in.

That's not what I said, RWHN.  Please attempt to use more honesty.
