    If you just wanted to start a discussion or debate why not post it in the correct place...the discussion forum. If you had posted it there you could of saved us from listening to the mad ramblings of a condescending, chauvinistic Pratt.


    And stay away from fostering...its a vocation not a money making scheme.

    How would you even start to debate with your OP? Your line of argument is akin to a drunken rant...and this is from somebody on your side of the 'debate'...albeit for completely different reasons.

    Thank you all very much for the replyes. More than i expected to be honest.

    Trust it to be a women who remembers and looks up my posts from the passed! Typical. Haha just joking.

    Someone mentioned that when you marry you should be prepared to share everything. Lets be fair here, if my partner was moving in to my bought house, shes moving in to a better estate / community than she lived in previously, plus she getting a roof over her head and no monthly rent / mortgage to pay !! Now thats sharing. If for any reason the relationship breaks up, why should take whats rightly mine ??? Goals and ambishan are personal. i bought my own place as a goal for me, women also have the right to buy their own house too, if she has not done that, and chosen to live in a council estate or a rented property that is her own destiny. Why have rights to take whats mine ?? Just her moving in to a better estate and community is brining her up in the world, lets be honest.

    Someone mentioned about a women doing all the chores in the home and looking after kids, so what ?? If shes not got a job consider that as working, most women do set their job titles on Facebook as house wife / full time mummy. If she is working, then again i don't see anything wrong with her doing house work and looking after kids, shes not got any rent or mortgage to pay, so shes actually financially better off than living alone. Nothing wrong with a women putting some money as side or saving up just in case the relationship breaks down, she can have a deposit ready to go back in to renting a property again.

    Another thing is, and its right to bring this up here, usually break down of marriage is caused by lack of love making, caused by the women, fact. Lots of older men complain about this. Women also put on timber when they are comfortable which can alter a mans emotions , feelings towards her, even though she might have a great personality. However thanks to the run for life events, which women take very seriously, as well as been a great charity it also keeps a lot of women in shape which is great.

    When you marry a women for better or for worse, its like when someone you may have care for becomes ill and the doctors tell you how hard its going to be to care for this person, people still go ahead with it, however when it comes to doing it, it starts to take it out on you and some people get very ill them selfs and realise thats sometimes its too difficult to do it all alone. Same as a marriage, you say you will stay with your partner even through the worse times, but when them worse times come you eventually look for a way out because it gets too hard. Its the same with anything. Sleeping with someone else is kind of like getting someone to help you to forget about the hard times, to give you enjoyment. Hence i beleive there is nothing wrong with changing your mined about a marriage, nothing wrong with doing what you feel is right at the time. Sometimes you feel in love and happy , other times you feel you need change. No one know what they will feel tomorrow or the next or next year.

    Love is a feeling and feelings change. Property, assets and investments are what makes you who you are. Its silly to put all the things that makes you you on the line for which half of it can be demolished at anytime. Why build a tower where there is know to be a strong wind ??

    Eventually your foundations will come loose and the tower will begin to fall down

    Pre nups ... Yes !!!

    Yes, you are correct - love is a feeling, and feelings do change. But love does not need to change - that is why I stayed with my OH for nearly 50 years, why I held his hand, and heard him say with his dying breath "I love you". We shared all we had - the riches, the bills, the ups, the downs, the laughter, the tears, the arguments, the rows - and the making ups. We complemented each other - and I know that had the situation been reversed, he would have been writing what I have written.

    Financially, we may never have been as "wealthy" as you purport to be - but emotionally you will never, ever be as wealthy as we were - and as I still am.

    Love lasts - self-interest kills.

    PS: On re-reading the OP's posts - are we sure that he isn't Kingslayer's big bro???

    !!!!!!?

    Like a log on the fire?
  • Personally, I put on more timber when I'm uncomfortable. I'm 8 months gone, can barely walk and am larger than I've ever been. Even more so than last time round. Back when I was unpregnant, I was comfortable, allowing me to do things like move around and exercise. Naturally, I was much slimmer then.

    You beat me to it! OP, you and Kingslayer should go for a drink (timed around the boxing schedule, obviously), record the conversation and post it online for us. January is a month for depression so we could all do with a laugh.

    Just make sure you tell everyone in advance so we can make sure there's no women within a few miles.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
  • Kingslayer what are you up to now????


    Edit: didn't the last post (honest!) before I posted - case of great minds eh?

  • Don't be silly, you'll never be in that situation.

    Nobody will ever love you, nobody will ever want you, nobody will ever marry you and you'll never have children.

    Furthermore, the obvious lack of language skills demonstrate that nobody in their right mind would employ you in a job role which would grant you the finances to be able to afford a mortgage on a home that's in a "better estate" than anyone. You clearly don't have the attitude or skills to be able to thrive in a place of work, or a place of social gathering.

    I can only think that you also incorrectly spelled the title of the thread and you intended to start a thread on the state of your brain entitled "Turnips".
    I can't add up.
