Most men I know think that a "normal" amount of dating before marriage should be at least 2 years, maybe even 3.
You shouldn't even be thinking about marriage until you are 3-4 years out of college, even then it's still a highly speculative arrangement.
There are 40 year olds in college, should they not be thinking about marriage? I'm 26, not every college student is young anymore
You are obviously getting defensive, and at age 26 you are still a young man. The 3-4 year waiting period out of college is to see how your financial, employment, and general living conditions are at that point.
What is the point of getting married and having the responsibility of a wife and potential children, if you can't even take care of yourself?

I only got married after we spent about eight years together. I wouldn't consider marrying a woman I'd known any less than that. I've seen too many people rush into that, only to find out just what a waste of life their new spouse is within a few months.

I'm not married and I dont think there is a set amount of time to get married. Other than that, I don't think much of it cause I've never been married. I might be able to tell ya what I think about it one day.

I don't believe in marriage. The last people in my family that got married were my grandparents. I think it's nothing more than a religious ceremony, which I don't want to partake in. It's also very expensive if your soon to be wife wants her marriage to be like a disney movie.
The fact that divorce can so easily happen makes marriage a joke. Losing half of our stuff because of a religious union is fucking stupid.

Cost us about forty bucks and no religion was involved. The Disney princess shit is for idealistic young morons who place more importance on the event than on the union itself.

Yeah I don't think ours cost more than a 100.. Neither of us is religious either. For me it was just about the commitment. It was me saying "I plan to spend the rest of my life with you, I want you to know I'm here for better or worse". True I could've just said that, which I did, but I wanted to show it as well.
Was worth it to me. I wouldn't take it back and I don't regret it. I can't imagine that there is anyone else out there who would have put up with me and all the shit I've done over the years.
I guess marriage isn't for everyone, but you can't go into it with the attitude of "if this fails then this chick is going to get half my shit".. Really have to question why you're getting married when you're already planning/expecting it to fail. Maybe all the naysayers just need to meet the right person, or maybe it just never will make sense to certain people.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I thought I remember you saying you were in your early 20s. We're you two "high school sweethearts"?

Marriage is an institution that's in decay and if i had love I wished to portray I would surely find another way....

Cut off your ear and give it to her. That way you show you'll be around forever but won't have to listen to her.
