The character Carrie is a single woman much like the ones I might have unintentionally landblasted. And then she gets engaged. Samantha said something about "Now I have to move you from my never getting married file" and also something about "she's looking quite at home for someone who thought she didn't have the bride gene." Maybe that's what I'm missing. I've always had the "bride gene." But I did not get the "I want a baby gene." Maybe there is such a thing as a "bride gene" and maybe not everyone gets it. And you just may be right, Jade. Maybe the defensive comes from having to defend their choices for so many years. That would get old, I have to admit. Today's "Why I Got Married, Why I Stayed Single" Series - Blog Entry26 Sep 2008 10:52 AM Excellent question, Tristi. I hadn't even realized I'd phrased it that way. I'm not sure why I put it like that. I think that's the impression I get from people who don't want to marry. That it's a bother. Weird. I never picked up on that, though, until you pointed it out. Today's "Why I Got Married, Why I Stayed Single" Series - Blog Entry26 Sep 2008 06:02 AM Wasn't it Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russel who were together for 20 years or something and never married? (I'm sure there are others who do it too. They were just the most famous example that came to mind.) I can understand why some people opt not to marry. Heck, my dad and his girlfriend have basically been living together as an un-married married couple for years. And another friend of mine has a dad and girlfriend who've done the same. (Except in the latter case she considers herself common-law married, whereas my dad and his girlfriend don't. They have their own bedrooms and basically just share life under the same roof.) Sometime I think I could do that if I had to do it all over again, but then I know I'm a traditionalist at heart. I always wanted to be married. But it is nice we now live in times where if you don't want to get married but do want to be with someone forever you can live together forever and always and not have to worry about marrying! Today's "Why I Got Married, Why I Stayed Single" Series - Blog Entry25 Sep 2008 02:27 PM I love when you share your thoughts, Dale. It's always such an inspiration how you and Mick are. A true love story! I think you might be on to something. I don't think people go into marriage thinking about it. Or maybe some think too much and that's the trouble. But the people who do stay together, like yourself and Mick, for the long haul are shining examples for the rest of us! Today's "Why I Got Married, Why I Stayed Single" Series - Blog Entry25 Sep 2008 01:44 PM You know, I was shocked by those numbers too, Christian. And you bring up a good point. Is that why men are more inclined to cheat than women? (Not that women don't cheat. Just their numbers aren't as high as men.) Maybe women don't want the hassle of an affair. better to just get out. Are men more lazy about it and stay in but have fun on the side? Inquiring minds want to know! It is very interesting. Maybe I'll be able to turn up some research to explain these numbers and write about it. Oprah's "Why Men Cheat" Controversy - Blog Entry25 Sep 2008 01:39 PM That would be REALLY infuriating! Not to mention disgusting. How can you ever trust your partner in that intimate way again? I think I'd have a very tough time with that.
