>>2115365>costs time, money, and emotional investment proportional to the amount of time spent with said person>The end result is always one of thee options:1) you end up getting married and have a 50% chance to get a divorce (I'm being generous and rounding down) and risk losing half your paycheck, the rights to see your children full time (sometimes at all), and half of your belongings
2) you both carry on dating for X many years and you invest and increasingly vast amount of time, money, and emotional investment, never get married, and you lose 100% of everything you invested
3) Your relationship is a failure and the little amount of meaningless time and emotional investment you put into X person goes to waste
It's really sad when the best possible outcome is having a shitty, short lived relationship that means nothing.
Remind me again why I need a constant financial and emotional drain on my life with I'm perfectly content as I am?
