people are arguing marriage on some website

[dolf]

a guy is massively pissed off that his wife;

refuses to change her name to his.
refuses to wear a ring.

some of the responses, from women, are that he should divorce her, that she must be cheating, that there's something funny going on.

i'm going to make a poll.

ONLY reasons my wife took my surname: It was easier to pronounce, easier to spell, and alphabetically closer to A.

LOL

It's all the sort of thing that should be discussed before the wedding, not afterward. Why is any of it a surprise?

My wife did not take my name and I don't wear a ring. We manage.

MARRIAGE??????????!!!!!!!!!!

runs out the door screaming..................................

 

[Liar]

I could tick off all of the boxes in that poll.

Given the choice I'd do it the old school way.
But it's not a dealbreaker.
Also, I don't really understand marriage.

I'll add on that a I'd want a decent reason why she didn't want to wear a ring seeing how the primary purpose of a wedding ring is to let people know you're not on the market. Even then it's not a deal breaker but a better reason than "I just don't feel like it is needed.

I agree it should be discussed before marriage. I took my husband's name, I like it better than my maiden name.

so, unless she wears a ''his'' sign to put other men off she will jump into bed with the first chap who asks? this makes no sense. either you can trust her or you can't. a ''property of'' label stuck to her doesn't change how honest she is... or isn't.

People who are crazy about each other usually do all kinds of things they normally wont do.

Ask me about the platter of awful muffins I ate cuz I thought my honey made t hem.

Exactly.

I heard that weddings are more fun the 2nd or 3rd time around. Is that true?

The same goes for the man unless he has a good excuse.

And yes, part of the trust, is wearing the symbol of your devotion. That's simply the way that it is. A better reason than I simply didn't feel like it is needed in this case.

I think I would want a wife to take my name but it wouldn't be a deal breaker.

I think both spouses should wear a ring but perhaps she has a good reason why she doesn't want to.

 

[trysail]

Exactly.

Uh, oh:

...the triumph of hope over experience.

Very true. My last wedding was definitely the most fun of all three.

 

[lovetoread]

She should change her name and wear a ring.

Some things are not meant to change.

 

[Liar]

What if it's two she? Would be sort of awesome if a lesbian couple decided to switch names at marriage, just for the hell of it.

but wedding dresses are so pretty.

also, they give me a boner.

they're still pretty though.

No they aren't, it's just that bridesmaid's dresses are so hideous they look like they're pretty.

but everyone is looking at you. and everyone expects you to talk to them. and the cake costs 3x more than my car. and people get upset if they aren't invited, but show you up if they are. and everything needs planning.

 

[Function]

"If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it."

"I triiiieeedddd !"

First thing that came to mind.

 

[RudeNastyAssBitch]

They are incompatible~Shrug~ It's best to figure this shit out right away.

 

[Sean Renaud]

I think if you're on your third wedding you should stop dating and proving to women that all men are scum. And obviously vice versa. Seriously, you're a massive fuck up and the world would be better off if you simply died.
