Funny really there will be people across the nation who are married to complete bells ends and they don't know it till they fall out

I'm one of those idiots that thought marriage would change someone for the better, and once we were married he would be lovely and look after me and we would live happily ever after. Disney has a lot to answer for!saving up another deposit as we've lost all our equity.

if you mean it makes you less likely to be single then no. looks might get you a shag. they don't get you a relationship. plenty of ugly couples and gorgeous singles too.Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves. - Lord Byron0 -
I heard today on this morning (the t.v show) that single people end up spending £5000 more per year than a person who lives with a partner or is married. :eek:0
